From The Writers’ Toolbox: Flawed Characters Can Be Too Flawed
The point is simple: to be believable, characters need flaws, but if their flaws overshadow their higher nature, readers may not care enough to continue on the reading journey with them.

Does Anybody Work In Speculative Fiction?
I wonder if our attitude toward work might not improve if we began to see it as honorable and necessary in our fiction.

The Myth That Will Not Die
Good speculative novels, written from a Christian perspective, by Christians, or about Christians, are out there. The myth that Christian fiction is like a soiled diaper, that it is only for elderly ladies, is simply a myth.

What About Christian Speculative Movies?
Speculative fiction by Christians is not uncommon. Readers can find stories about dragons and wizards, about characters trying to survive in a dystopian world, about a clone who escapes the laboratory, about the people in a new fairy world, about space captains, about space aliens, about vampires, about . . . well, just about anything speculative you can imagine. But how will these stories make it to the big screen?

The Military, Veterans, And Speculative Fiction

Mayhem And Its Meaning, A Reprise
Why does mayhem play such an important role in speculative fiction? The clearest and best explanation is that these stories reveal the great struggle of the world—the struggle between the rebel Satan and God.

The Resurgence Of Fantasy
Christian fantasy, late to the prom with dystopian and post-apocalyptic fantasy, seems primed to take advantage of this new resurgence of classic fantasy.

Stories With Romance Or Stories With Love?
Could it be that our current Christian speculative fiction has focused so much on the kind of love the world recognizes that we are neglecting the kind of love the Bible extols?
