Exile
“This gentle fantasy from Loren G. Warnemuende shows little magic or strange creatures, focusing on complex emotions and relationships.”
—Lorehaven on Mar 17, 2023

Illusion
“Frank Peretti’s last novel creates a romantic world with sci-fi flourishes where likeable heroes, villain twists, and familiar places sell a dramatic performance.”
—Lorehaven on Mar 10, 2023

War in Heaven
“Charles Williams’s classic supernatural thriller pairs a deeply spiritual worldview with perceptive examinations of human nature.”
—Lorehaven on Mar 3, 2023

Bear Knight
“Bear Knight’s quest pacing starts slow but quickens as two plots merge into one, exploring the Christian’s spiritual walk with adventurous aplomb.”
—Lorehaven on Feb 24, 2023

Lorehaven Rejoins Realm Makers Bookstore This Weekend in Cincinnati

Lorehaven will rejoin Realm Makers Bookstore, which arrives April 25–27 at Great Homeschool Conventions in Cincinnati.

I had such a great time last month aiding Realm Makers Bookstore in Fort Worth.

So I decided to do it again.

This weekend Lorehaven, with yours truly, will rejoin this traveling story show this weekend at Great Homeschool Conventions in Cincinnati.

Where

  • Duke Energy Convention Center, 525 Elm Street, Cincinnati, Ohio
  • Look for booths 1719–1820!

When

  • Thursday, April 25, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. (exhibit hall admission is free this night only)
  • Friday, April 26, 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
  • Saturday, April 27, 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I myself will be there starting early Friday afternoon, right after my flight arrives.

Online subscriptions are free to Lorehaven magazine.

What

  • Realm Makers Bookstore specializes in fantastic fiction for readers of all ages written exclusively by Christian authors. It is an outgrowth of the annual Realm Makers writers conference which focuses exclusively on the genres of fantasy, science fiction and the many related genres of speculative fiction.
  • Lorehaven serves Christian fans by finding biblical truth in fantastic stories. Book clubs, free webzines, and a web-based community offer flash reviews, articles, and news about Christian fantasy, science fiction, and other fantastical genres. Magazine print copies are available by request and at special events.

Who

  • Realm Makers co-founder and novelist Rebecca P. Minor (The Windrider Saga series)
  • Realm Makers co-founder Scott Minor
  • Novelist Kerry Nietz (The DarkTrench Saga, Amish Vampires in Space)
  • Novelist S. D. Grimm (Children of the Blood Moon series)
  • Novelist Gillian Bronte Adams (The SongKeeper Chronicles series)
  • Lorehaven magazine editor in chief (and pending nonfiction author) E. Stephen Burnett

Why

  • We’re finding new and eager readers of Christian-made fantastical novels.
  • We’re connecting with families, other authors, and a thriving community that loves these kinds of books.
  • We are loving these real-world conversations about, say, the purpose of these books, discernment challenges, and how to find the best stories for specific readers.

How

Explore our overviews of previous events this year:

  • Live at Great Homeschool Convention in Fort Worth!
  • Mission Report, March 7–9, Lorehaven at Realm Makers Bookstore
  • Realm Makers Bookstore, March 2019: This Is the Greatest Show
  • Realm Makers Bookstore Takes Fantastic Christian Fiction to New Fans
  • Mission Report, April 11–13, Lorehaven at Teach Them Diligently in Waco
  • Mission Report, Supplemental: Photos from Lorehaven at Teach Them Diligently in Waco

Next, Lorehaven will feature again at this summer’s annual Realm Makers conference in July.

But I have an intriguing sense that we’ll have another related announcement sometime even sooner . . .

Godspeed!

    To all attending this weekend: enjoy your time in the Queen City! It’s a wonderful city; it’s spring, the parks and the zoo should be lovely. Hope y’all have time to check them out.
    I worked there for four years at the beginning of my library career. Loved the city & area … (but not sliding all over the hills in winter! ?)
