You may notice a few graphical changes here at Speculative Faith, and at the broader Lorehaven.com:

  • Our default background is changed.
  • It pairs with the magazine’s new ad (seen below).
  • A few other changes, like a color-faded navigation bar, class up the joint.
  • Most of the other changes you will see at the main homepage of Lorehaven.com.

E. Stephen Burnett explores fantastical stories for God’s glory as publisher of Lorehaven.com and its weekly Fantastical Truth podcast. He coauthored The Pop Culture Parent and creates other resources for fans and families, serving with his wife, Lacy, in their central Texas church. Stephen's first novel, the sci-fi adventure Above the Circle of Earth, launches in March 2025 from Enclave Publishing.
  1. It’ll be interesting to hear more about 49th Mystic, since supposedly it has more to do with the Circle world and all that. The Lost Books series and Circle Trilogy were my favorite books during highschool.

  2. Hey, just for future reference, do you guys ever take submissions for guest articles and such(for the website)? I see an option to share reviews, but not guest posts/articles.
