For the fans of speculative fiction out there, a great article was up at Speculative Faith last week. I’m a little late to the party for posting it, but here it is. If people think Christian writers are just aping Harry Potter when it comes to fantasy, E. Stephen Burnett’s answer is the rebuttal.

For those who are interested in Christian fantasy and have followed the posts here, there is a real treat. Wayne Thomas Batson, author of the Door Within trilogy, was on Fox and Friends this morning. He discusses his books and there is discussion of Harry Potter as well. Christopher Hopper has the video of it posted on his sidebar if you weren’t up at 6:45 am (EDT) to catch it.
Way to go Wayne! It was a good representation of Christian fantasy.

Due to vacation I’m a little behind on this special feature of the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Blog Tour. There is a cool event that is happening (on the East Coast only, all us Westerners miss out on all the fun stuff, except fires) from July 9-19.
There are four Christian fantasy authors getting together for a special promotional tour of book stores to highlight their own books, and the genre of speculative fiction as well. You can find full details of it at their website: Fantasy 4 Fiction Tour.
I have only read Sharon Hinck’s fantasy novel, so I can’t vouch for the other authors, but it sounds like a cool opportunity to meet some authors and get books signed (as hopefully you are compelled to pick up 3-4 copies of each book).
You can also find material at the authors’ blogs and web sites:
Wayne Thomas Batson – http://enterthedoorwithin
Sharon Hinck – http://sharonswriting.blogspot
Bryan Davis – http://dragonsinourmidst
Christopher Hopper – http://christopherhopper.wordpress.com/ and http://christopherhopper.org/
You can also check out their cool trailer here:
