Hi Serena, although I'm on the other end of the spectrum, age wise, we have a lot of similar tastes. I love books that have a fantasy or sci-fi element to them. I've read tons of Christian books, but none are the kind I write. I don't know if you read any of my other posts, but as a YA Christian Sci-fi writer, I'm pretty much at the bottom of the ladder of popular fiction, but I think our kids need good books that don't get noticed by using swearing or sex. I don't like all Dystopian books, but Wool was good, by Hugh Howey. He's not a Christian writer, but so far he's kept it appropriate. Good to have you here. I don't know the moderator, but I did the same thing, looked for Christian writers, specifically YA. I love YA books.
Oh yeah, forgot to plug my book. ;) Golden Hope is the name, I call it Sci-fi-lite. More about the characters and the troubles they encounter than hard science fiction. This isn't specifically a Christian book, but it's okay for all readers. Check it out if you feel like it. I could use a real review, from someone not related to me. haha
It sounds like an interesting read, but I can't find a copy anywhere :/
Seriously? Not on Amazon Kindle? Or Amazon regular if you don't care about the expense. Definitely can get it from All Things that Matter Press. It's not on the shelves because my publisher is a POD- Publish on Demand.
Serena, I really like reading Donita Paul too. She writes some really unique stuff and it's got a good Christian message. Anohter author like her is Bryan Davis who wrote the Tears of a Dragon series.I've read a lot of Christian romance, most of which is pretty fluffy reading, so I like that this group encompasses more than just Christian chick lit.
Thanks Sarah, I'll check those out too. I like Terri Blackstock, and some of Dee Henderson.
Oh there it is, on Amazon like you said, Donna. :) Somehow I missed that when I first did my search. I'm too stubborn to buy an e-reader of any kind, so I'll just have to put the paperback on my birthday list unless a used copy crops up somewhere before then (I'm trying to furnish my first apartment, so unfortunately books are fairly low on my priority list right now).Sarah, I'll have to look up Bryan Davis--I don't think I've seen that series before. Thanks for the recommendation!
I understand. The price for the paperback is high. I think I'll self publish my next one so I can offer it cheaper, unless I get a "real" publisher.
I'm a recent college graduate, but still find myself reading more YA novels than anything else. I mostly enjoy fantasy, and will also read just about any horse novel I can get my hands on, as well as the occasional historical fiction. I have even been known to enjoy a decent Christian romance novel, especially if it involves horses. My current favorite author (I tend to go through phases) is Donita K. Paul, who writes Christian fantasy.
Although I've never managed to write anything longer than a feature magazine article (I admire those of you who write novels), I thoroughly enjoy editing and would like to begin freelance copyediting sometime in the near future.
