The Price Of Otherness
Speculative fiction is based on otherness—the difference between the world of reality and the world of a story.

Top Ten Most Original Speculative Fiction Story Worlds, Part 2
What are the top ten most original story worlds (or settings) for overtly Christian authors? This post lists ten possible choices!

Halloween, Evil, And Speculative Fiction
The point is this: evil in the real world is not so easy to pin down—not without God’s clear standards.

Speculative Fiction Writers Guide to War, part 20: Transportation: Beastly Power
What are the limits of what a man or beast can transport, even fantasy beasts? How far beastly power can move an army and its supplies is an important consideration in speculative fiction world building.

Speculative Fiction Writers Guide to War, part 17: War Costs: Food per Fighter
If you ever wanted to calculate how many supplies your fictional army needs, your numbers start with how much food per single war fighter per day. We’ve got the numbers here–for both humans and non-humans!

Speculative Fiction Writer’s Guide to War, Part 9: Perceptual Distortions in Combat
Tunnel vision, slow-motion time, abnormal hearing, memory loss, and intrusive thoughts are just a few possible effects of combat stresses.

Realism And Twenty-first Century Storytelling—A Reprise
I think there’s something else not particularly real in twenty-first century stories, no matter how real the computer generated characters might appear. We could chalk this up to “that’s just movies” if it weren’t for the fact that screen writing is beginning to dominate the way we write novels, too.

Memorial Day: Remembering The Soldiers Who Died—A Reprise
It doesn’t seem to me that speculative stories are short on wars, and therefore people serving the rest of their culture or nation or species by marching into danger and possible death.

Are we in for a return to Middle-earth? The hesitation to leave for good is understandable, but there are a number of reasons why a Silmarillion movie isn’t the answer.

Everyone Needs A Sam Gamgee
Life can be miserable, but having someone there for you makes a world of difference. Like Frodo, everyone needs a Sam in his or her life.

Sentimentality And Christian Fiction, A Reprise
The novel had a simple, even predictable plot, and the writing was serviceable at best. The characters were not complex, the theme undeniably obvious. Imagine my surprise, then, when I came to the climax of the story and cried.

Sci-fi and Fantasy Let Us Explore
Wrapping your mind around the size of the universe, and our comparatively tiny place in it, gives you a new perspective and appreciation. Science fiction and fantasy do the same thing, on a different scale.

The Christmas Story: The First Epic Tale
Many stories, whether written from secular or Christian worldviews, point us back to the story of Christ, implicitly or explicitly, by design or by accident.

Frodo’s Failure—When Doing Your Best Isn’t Enough
This image—Frodo’s failing despite his best effort—gets at the heart of the Gospel and the fact that left to ourselves, we can try-try-try all the livelong day and never measure up to what God requires. Never hope to come close.

The Power Of Words
Isn’t it amazing the range of emotions and reactions a handful of words can evoke? That’s the power of books, the power of words.

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.
