First off, I want to say that God is awesome. I was looking up resources for fiction writers when I stumbled across wherethemapends.com. I never knew this was here!
But a brief introduction-- I assume-- is needed, so here goes: I'm a nut when it comes to Fantasy and Science fiction. When ever I happen to find one that is Christian, I read it in one night. Alas, that there is not more in the Christian world!
I write a little of both, but lean more towards Fantasy. I currently have three books going. One of them, up to 30K words and on the fifth draft.
Any questions, feel free to ask. I look forward to meeting you all and being on a forum that I can relate to!

Yes y'ar, this is the perfect gathering place for Christian sci fi and fantasy lovers! We welcome you with open eyes (cause arms wouldn't work, cause it's all text...unless you live nearby in which case you could hyopthetically meet another from here and get a hug but that's a different story), and I hope you teach us as much as we try to force you to learn |

Hi, Veritas! Welcome to The Anomaly. As for there not being enough Christian speculative fiction to read, I agree. However, there might be more than you're aware of. Be sure to browse the Booklist link over at www.WhereTheMapEnds.com. There are more than 450 Christian speculative fiction titles listed there. And for original works, don't miss www.MarcherLordPress.com. Jeff |

By the way, Jeff, thanks for pointing me toward that list. You're right, around where I live, I've heard of very few of these authors.
Although, Ted Dekker owns a substantial part of my bookshelf...

Welcome, Veritas! You're writing three books simultaneously??? How do you manage? I can't start a new one until I've finished the first one. Too hard to keep the story lines separate.

^I don't. I'm on writer's block on two of them right now. Although, I'm one of those unorganized writers who keep all in their head. My mom always tells me that she would not want to visit my mind.... |
