As I was writing this book I was inspired by how a persons charactor reflects in the surroundings that they choose to put themselves in. For example if someone has a strong interest in cars they will surround themselves with posters, and books or anything else related to cars and that can be applied to everyone. The way we live and the things that we surround ourselves reflects our charactor. So I applied this priniciple to a whole culture and the collective charactor of the culture. If one looks at ancient culltures and look at their religion, their artwork, their articture and music it will reflect the charactor of the culture. Some cultures reflect very morals and charactor while other reflect that they were very evil. So when I was developing the culture of the Nephullum I kept this in mind to make sure that their culture was a reflection of their charactor. I do not want to give away too many details of my work but I will say this I was showing that a culture is a reflection of the personal and moral choices of its people. So if you are curious on what happened to the Nephullums culture you can get my book at www.ageofarrogancenovel.com

Love
When I was writing this story one of the things I wanted to do was to explore true love. I am not a fan of romance because in my opinion it is unrealistic and creates an illusion that cannot be met especially by real guys. So I asked myself what if there was true love? A love that was unconditional and a love that put ones desires aside for the good of the other person? So what I was exploring was the idea of an ideal love and as the story developed I feel like I was able to show what that love was like and it was sad but beautiful because it showed human beings at their best. So as result I showed them willing to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the person that they loved. If you are curious how all of this happened you can get my book at www.ageofarrogancenovel.com

Choices
As I was writing about the Age of Arrogance and as I was trying to develop the culture of the story. I tried to show that individual choices make up a culture. When a culture is developed it just does not happen overnite. Their is a lot of factors involved with it. Such as personal moral choices, the idea of what a leader is or how the people will choose or choose not to worship. As all of these choices are put together it forms the culture. I also showed in the story that even though their culture was corrupt that the individuals always had a choice to follow or to stand against the evil that was in their culture and unfortuantly the majority of the them choose not to, but one man did stand against the evil culture and not only saved himself but the woman he loved and several others to.

Why Christians Have Problem Writing Sci Fi
When I started writing this book I started to research other Christian Sci Fi writers and I discovered there was a small group of them. As I was further researching this I saw an article stating that Christians have problems writing Sci Fi. I can tell right away why most Christians have problems writing in this genre. It is because of the philosophies that drive most Sci Fi stories for example in Star Wars there is the belief of pantheism and in Star Trek it is humanism and there is a lot of other examples but I do not want to go into all of them. As a Christian we believe in absolute right and wrong, and we believe that God created everything, and that someday God will judge everything and we have a hope in the future that is based upon the promises that God made in the Bible and it is that reason that we have not been able to write a lot of Sci Fi stories because it would require us to accept philosophies that are alien to our belief system. I do not mean to brag about myself but I have found a way to write a Sci Fi story without compromsing my beliefs and my story is very unique I have not copied anyother authors ideas. I took some charactors mentioned in the Bible and created a unique culture by using a Christian perspective on the other philosophies that this world has.

The Question that was the Motovation for the Book.
One time I had a question; "What if Adam and Eve had children before they fell into sin?" As I thought of that some other questions arose what would they thought of their parents failure? Could they be the Sons of God mentioned in Genesis 6? after all their bodies would of been different than those of the fallen offspring of Adam so it is possible they could of been mistaken for angels when all they were was just another race of humans. As I had these thoughts this strange story started to emerge of all of the possible answers I could think of. So as a result this story is now available on http://www.ageofarrogancenovel.com/

This Book has Over Twenty Charactors
In the Age of Arrogance I put over twenty charactors. I did this because I was trying to write about an entire culture and I thought I could not cover everything properly by just focusing on a few people. I neccesserly do not care if anyone remembers a few charactors or not but I am aiming at trying to help them remember an entire culture and the contributions that was made by each individual. What inspired me to do that was reading history books they would cover the contributions of several people to a certain time period. For example if one wants to properly cover the American Revolution not only should they talk about George Washington but they should also talk about Sam Adams, Thomas Jefferson and several other people to get the proper understanding of what made that time period unique. This is what inspired me to write this way is to show the contributions of over twenty people to make this culture unique. If you want to read the story just go to www.ageofarrogancenovel.com

Illeg- to stutter
This charactor is a true underdog. As a child he was picked as a failure because he was too thin with straggly hair and he had a bad stuttering problem. But Regly took him under his wing and mentored him. Even though he never overcame his stuttering problem he became a very trusted individual who was the equal to anyone because of his actions. But Illeg represents a lot of us because so many of us have imprefections weither we cannot speak well or we are not attractive physically or any other superficial barriers that society pushes on us. But those imprefections does not represent who we truly are and we can overcome those imprefections by our actions and gaining the trust of people as we lead our lives. Just like Illeg did. If you want to know more about Illeg just go to http://www.ageofarrogancenovel.com/
