A Christian Reaction to ‘Alien Worlds’–How Writers of Faith Can Do More
Parker J. Cole’s look at ‘Alien Worlds’ inspired this article–which looks at how the worldview of a Christian writing hard sci fi is broader than an atheist’s.

From The Writers’ Tool Box: Honoring Men Of The Past
One way to give a speculative world texture is to create a history the characters can celebrate.

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 Fantasy Itch: Gettin’ To Be THAT Time Of Year
Ah, yes, I’m definitely ready to settle down with a good fantasy. It’s that time of year! Last year I read Brandon Sanderson’s
Mistborn
, first in the Mistborn Trilogy (which, I learned, is actually a five book series). I’m thinking this year I should finish out the rest, starting with
The Well of Ascension
.

Does Anybody Work In Speculative Fiction?
Maybe “ordinary” doesn’t make for a good story. Still, I’d think within stories about the exciting and the exceptional, there need to be those who hold down the fort, who keep the supply lines coming through, who make sure the soldiers have shoes.

Act Your Age
Iâm perfectly happy to believe all the crazy worldbuilding you can throw at me. I will overlook a few tropes if the plot is halfway interesting. But if your characters do not âact their age,â then you need to explain why that is so.

Thanksgiving Day And Speculative Fiction
In speculative literature, Thanksgiving can be much more than just a celebration. Whether or not a story world holds harvest festivals and how they are celebrated can define a culture and make it come alive.

Art And The Clive Staples Award
There are good books on the list, and I don’t think it’s going to be easy to pick the one I want to vote for as best of the lot. But I’d like to think through the process of making that choice.

Inside Another Mind
The entire plot of Treasure Traitor unfolded before me from the single image of this outcast girl with a bird on her shoulder. While my creative process sure took a round about way to get me from that original childhood short story to my first published novel, the journey was not in vain.
