What Makes Fantasy Work? Part 1
Readers love Narnia and Lord of the Rings, and they love a handful of later fantasies. But a lot of stories donât go viral, donât get hundreds of reviews, and in fact get tepid responses. So what makes fantasy work?

Perseverance and Philippians 2:12-13, Part 2
If you are at all familiar with the difficult time Christian speculative fiction has had getting a foothold in the market, you understand our need to persevereâboth as readers and as authors.

To Trailer or Not To Trailer
. . . that is . . . well, it’s a question, anyway. Actually, it’s a question I wanted to ask all of you. As some of you may or may not know, Failstate: Legends, the sequel to my debut […]

Reviving The Clive Staples Award
Voters will be eligible only if they have read two or more of the books nominated. We want this to be a selection by readers of Christian speculative fiction, not just the fans of particular authors.

Magic In The Story: What’s The Big Deal?
Magic â just the mention of it can cause many a “good Christian” to draw dividing lines, take sides and ready for attack. Are we being discerning or just overreacting? Join our new series: Magic in the Story.

Stories Of Sacrifice
I think there’s something to the idea that
self-sacrifice is appealing
. C. S. Lewis was particularly good at weaving self-sacrifice into his stories. It, of course, is crucial in the (traditional) opening book of Narnia–
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
.

Ancient Realms Of Imagination
The stories that I read while growing up inspired me to be a better person–to better follow God and to deal more rightly with other people. A good story isnât just penned or typed; it grows out of the heart.

Done To Death: Getting It Right
Last time, I wrote about the reason why I don’t think it’s a good idea to write “milk” in Christian fiction. And I also promised to talk about some books that I think “got it right,” so to speak. So here we go.

Fantasy And Overt Christianity
Should Christian writers refrain from having their characters do what Christians do — turn to Christ, pray for help, give spiritual counsel, worship with other believers, and so on? If Christians do want to show their characters acting like Christians, should their books then be confined to Christian circles? Should we indeed write for and market to Christians only?

Done To Death: Who Are We Trying To Reach?
Who is it that actually reads Christian fiction? I’ll give you a hint by re-asking the question: Who is it that actually reads CHRISTIAN fiction? I know, it’s a stumper.

Done To Death
Tropes can pop up just about anywhere, even in Christian speculative fiction: hackneyed plots, characters, and themes. What do our readers think has been âdone to deathâ?

The “Alien Work” Of God Part V
So last time, we sat at the foot of the master, C. S. Lewis, and discussed the theological underpinnings of his Space Trilogy. For those of you just joining us now (or who don’t feel like going back and reading […]

The “Alien Work” Of God Part IV
Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Not this blog series. At least, I hope none of you think that. But I’ve noticed a pattern. Whenever I sit down to write one of these columns, NASA announces that they’ve found more extra-solar planets.

John Otte
The “Alien Work” Of God Part I
No, I’m not talking about this kind of alien work of God. Instead, I want to talk about how it seems that I’ve always had aliens on the brain. I mentioned two weeks ago that my earliest forays into writing […]
