Meet Vampire Catholic Writer Sr. Allison Regina Gliot

Last updated on: May 11, 2026 at 7:13 am By Mark Wilson

One of the great character traits of any person is how authentically real and human they are. This is explicitly true of writers who identify as Catholic. I recently attended a webinar in which a Catholic fiction writer talked about the craft of writing Catholic fiction. That person happened to be Daughter of St. Paul, Sr. Allison Regina Gliot. Sr. Allison is not the first Catholic writer to submit an interview to me that involves vampires but is the first... Read more

Those Who Lived Till The Year Star Wars Was Released

Last updated on: May 4, 2026 at 6:08 am By Mark Wilson

When we pick up in this timeline, Star Wars was just out in theaters a little over a month. People were still flocking to see it. I believe I may have been one of them. Going to the theater at just 6 years old to see this big spectacle on the big screen. It shaped my childhood pretty well. I would collect the toys, read books and comics of it and create my own inspired stories. Still a lot of... Read more

Good Catholic Writing April 2026

Last updated on: May 1, 2026 at 7:10 am By Mark Wilson

There are so many Catholic writers writing so many Catholics things right now. It’s hard if not improbable to keep up with what everybody is saying about this and that and this other thing. You got to pick and choose who you read. You’re most likely going to pick a Catholic writer that aligns with your particular form of spiritual or political sensibilities. If you do read someone outside your normal parameters of frequent reading material it might be to... Read more

A Dying Boy’s Heavenly Buddy St. Carlo Acutis

Out of all the Meet the Writer Interviews that have been submitted to me, Laura Fredrickson’s was the most personal and she also had the most to say. I’m not actually referring to just her interview, but with her actual correspondence with me. From the very first email she was friendly, chatty, conversational, warm and personable. She seemed to be someone who you could easily be friends with and sit down and talk about faith, family and fun things. When... Read more

Meet the Edgy Catholic Writer Joseph Cillo Jr

Last updated on: June 28, 2026 at 9:25 am By Mark Wilson

Every Catholic writer in the Meet the Writers series tries to communicate God in their writing. Some express their love of God through philosophical musings. Some express it by creating fantasy worlds that can only be accessed by your imagination. Some take others back in time to a historic period worth fleshing out in a story. Still another Catholic writer makes her personal journey of grief and hope alive in written words. Joseph expresses the truth of God by creating... Read more

Last updated on: April 28, 2026 at 9:30 am By Mark Wilson

All writers have a story within their soul they want to pour out into words. Some take place in another world where the laws of physics don’t apply as they do in our world. Some have advanced technologies that have not been invented in our realm of existence. Some have creatures and beings that that only live in myth and folklore. Some tales are of the distant or recent past where people like us lived out different lives in a... Read more
