I take it from your post that you've only recently realised it and therefore didn't consciously plan it that way, but why do you think they've been a recurring theme? Is it because you enjoy focusing on your protagonists' internal conflicts more than their external ones, or has it just 'happened'? Why 'deserts' then?
