Ive already posted a few times but figured I would introduce myself.
My names Justin and im from Nova Scotia, Canada. I grew up in one of the most isolated communities in Nova Scotia. I was always the strange kid on the street who was always playing pretend. From an early age i makeing up stories, and in school when ever we had creative writeing assignments my teachers were amazed at the stuff i came up with. I however had reading problem and did not fully learn to read until i was about 12, not many can believe this after hearing how much i currently read.
I started writeing my first novel when i was 13. I cant go through the day with a new story idea popping into my head. Around that time i learnt that there was a Genre called fantasy and have been lost in it ever since. ive read to many mainstream author to name and in the last few years ive discovered Christian Fantasy. I love all Spec Fiction but i have a speacil place for Fantasy. Currently im 22 and am finishing up a BA in Biblical studies i like to use my knowledge of the Bible, History and Hebrew and greek to build my worlds. The two most influencial authors for me have been Tad Willaims author of the Memory Sorrow and Thorn trilogy and L.B Grham Binding of the Blade series.
Im currently writeing a book about an isolated continent filled with numerous nations who have been fighting racial wars for hundreds of years. When suddenly there is reacurence of miricle like powers that had ceased to exist before the wars. And the rise of once forgotten order of Prophets. The story focuses on these Prophets and there friends and allies as they try to create peace on the continent, and udjust to life with there holy powers. All while trying to find peace and unite squabling nations and cultures before a once friendly empire seeks to lead a revolution of genocide through out the known world.
It may sound like your same old same old fantasy but there alot to it. It like to also apoligize, as i said i learned to read later in life whitch payed a toll on my spelling and grammatical abilities, this is worsened whenever i type. Im working hard on this as i want to write to the best of my abilities, as i feel that God has gifted with a imagination and desire to write in order to glorify him.
