Why Genesis? When I created Mateo, I gave him something extraordinary—an ancient Bible that could take him anywhere in biblical history. That created a question I hadn't really expected: Where should I send him first? Moses and the Red Sea? David and Goliath? Daniel and the lions? In the end, the answer became obvious. If Mateo was going to enter Bible history, there was only one place his journey could begin. At the beginning. Eden. Cain and Abel. Noah and the Ark. Babel. But while Mateo was witnessing the beginnings recorded in Genesis, something else was beginning too. His own journey. 📖 Today's Behind the Story: Why Genesis? 👉 Read it on my blog: steverhartwigauthor.com/blog #ChristianFiction #ChristianMiddleGrade #BiblicalFiction #BehindTheStory

Another author interview is live! 📚 Book Reader Magazine invited me to share a little more about the road that eventually led me to writing—from growing up on a small farm in Illinois to making my home in Nicaragua. We also talked about the books and people that influenced me, why I enjoy seeing the world through someone else's eyes, and, of course, Mateo and the Secrets of the Eternal Word. I'm grateful to Book Reader Magazine for featuring my story and giving me another opportunity to introduce readers to Mateo.

What Happens When Someone Writes Back? 📬 For a long time, writing is a one-way conversation. You sit at a computer. You write the story. You publish it. And then you send those words out into the world without really knowing who might find them. But then something happens. Someone writes back. A review arrives. A reader sends a message. Someone asks where they can find Mateo. Someone simply says, “I enjoyed your book.” Suddenly, the reader on the other side isn’t imaginary anymore. I’ve discovered that one message from a real person can sometimes mean more than all the views, clicks, and numbers on a screen. 📖 Today on the blog: What Happens When Someone Writes Back? 👉 Read it here: steverhartwigauthor.com/blog #ChristianAuthor #AuthorJourney #ChristianFiction #WritingJourney
