In trying to please/not anger anyone...

[J.A.]

I wonder if I haven't done just that. I have written and published a YA historical fantasy novel named Origin. It's been well received by those I have gifted a copy to, but I wrote the book to be a type of witness tool. I tried to incorporate elements of history and different religions, so it would be quickly understood by anyone who reads it. The issue is, by doing that and making it a fantasy genre as well, I may have pleased no one in the process and killed the chances of it being successful.

If anyone can offer suggestions? I will gladly provide copies for review, which I also can't seem to get. I have just completed a Goodreads giveaway and there is another one running on Amazon right now. I have already written about 1/3 of a follow-up novel, but am I wasting my time?

I have just looked Origin up & I think it looks like being a good book. I would definitley be interested in reading it & giving you an honest opinion/review.

If you're talking about gods and goddesses, it really doesn't fit under Christian fiction. I am a Christian fantasy author for YA/middle grade. My books are biblical; they're based on parables. I do, however, use the term "higher power" in my books because it's a fantasy world and there who knows what God would be called. C.S. Lewis calls Him "Aslan". I'm not angered by your book, but it would be more appropriate to assign them to the YA fantasy genre.
