Let’s Look At Openings – Round Two

Back in September we gave five different writers the opportunity to have the openings of their work posted here at Spec Faith and to receive feedback from you, the Spec Faith community. It’s time for Round Two. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

The Indie Fork

Seven years ago, I would have told you: I’ll never self-publish. It seemed pretty clear to me. I wasn’t impressed with the products that usually emerged in that sector of publishing and it seemed, in so many ways, a cop-out–giving […] · Rachel Marks

The Book Signing

A mostly-fictional illustration of how reader feedback can be less than useful, and how we often get from a book mostly what we bring to it. · Fred Warren

The Inklings, Part 2 – Who Are They

The key to The Inklings was the double linchpins of their love of words and their love of Christ. But one other thing can’t be ignored. These men of letters lived in Oxford, a place that fostered academic pursuits. In other words, it was no accident that so many men interested in similar subjects were in the same location at the same time. Of course, in light of God’s sovereignty, we know it was no accident at all. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Inspiration

We are God’s creation, His greatest creation, and He made us in His image. By doing so He made us gifted to be creative like He was. Not only did He make us creative, but He surrounded us with things to inspire our creativity. · Brock D. Eastman

Self Examination

I realized last night that I’m a bigot. · Fred Warren

The Inklings, Part 1 – News And Tidbits

My recent series based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s lengthy essay “On Fairy-Stories” has renewed my interest in the group of scholars and writers known as the Inklings who famously met in the Oxford pub The Eagle and Child. Hence […] · Rebecca LuElla Miller

‘The Next C. S. Lewis’?

There’s only one C.S. Lewis. So let’s stop comparing all debut or contemporary writers, especially ourselves, to him. · Rebecca LuElla Miller

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 4

Based on Scripture, we can know that God loves stories, we can worship Him now through stories, and we’re destined to worship Him for eternity in many of the same ways. Of course, we can’t take any thing with us after death. Yet our God is a God of resurrection. · E. Stephen Burnett

Dark Is The Stain: Suspense.

Sunday morning Fred posted a lovely series of Advent readings and Scriptures, and yesterday he posted on Hope ( I swear, we didn’t plan this). Now, I gotta say, just as over the last decade I’ve grown incredibly fond of […] · Kaci Hill

Speculative Christmas, Episode I: A New Hope

Even an imperfect story can help begin a conversation about the Real Story. · Fred Warren

Lightning In A Bottle

I’m going to keep this simple today. What makes a bestseller? What makes you want to pick up a book, keep reading it, and then recommend it to your friends after you’ve finished it? · Fred Warren

Will Fiction Last Forever? Part 1

“Your job and your hobbies have no eternal value.” Why do many Christians suspect that belief is true? · E. Stephen Burnett

Dark Is The Stain: Hallow’s Eve

I began this series because I wanted to explore the dark themes of Christian fiction. I don’t want to just discuss it; I want to touch it. I want light so bright that anything dark distracts, and darkness so black […] · Kaci Hill

Heroes

Given the collective angst from the Christian community every year over Halloween, it seems odd to me how little attention is given to November 1. · Fred Warren

Why I Wrote The DarkTrench Saga

Now that I’m done writing The DarkTrench Saga (from Marcher Lord Press), I’ll talk about it. The three-volume futuristic series has had some interesting criticisms, but surprisingly, the strongest reproaches have come from the Christian community. · Kerry Nietz

I Aim To Misbehave

This scene came to mind when I read an article by Sally Apokedak at Novel Rocket that Becky Miller highlighted this weekend. Sally asks if writers should aim to avoid offending publishers. It’s a good question, worthy of discussion. · Fred Warren
