Y'all stop!!! LOL Nobody knows what Christian Speculative Fiction is. Okay so let me try and explain real quick (from what I've been told anyway.) Christian Speculative Fiction is a genre created by ummm-well somebody, to describe work that CBA affiliated Christian houses won't produce because they claim their "core market readers" don't want to read such fiction. That being said, Christian Speculative Fiction won't be showing up in larger affiliated Christian bookstores or at on-line affiliated Christian bookstores anytime soon because it all comes from non-affiliated Christian publishers. But as par for the course, since this genre seems to be sitting pretty well with affiliated readers, CBA is now calling some of their fiction Christian Speculative Fiction. You know, without adding the CBA part which distinguishes their work from every other non-affiliated Christian publisher out there.
Hey! Who created this genre anyway?
Didn't you make rules too?
Oh well. For the record, my series now falls into more genres than I ever imagined it would. LOL
So without further ado, you may now read this grand review from another fan who post reviews for the Christian Examiner network. This is my second so far from this group. They are so wonderful!
Hugs to Shelley.

Enjoy!
Well, you'd have to be more specific when you say Christian-oriented publishers. ;) Most non-affiliated Christian publishers gladly take work that doesn't proselytise or preach. It's just there aren't many non-affiliated Christian publishers who carry the label Christian because that label has already been taken.
ReplyDeleteBoth of my publishers so far have been non-affiliated Christian publishers or rather general market publishers.
Good on you for moving on past the rejections from Christian-oriented publishers. Just know that should your work appeal to those readers, you'll never be able to get you books in the venues where they shop. And that's not even a real issue either since those venues seem to be dropping in popularity anyway.
Thank you for listing your work here. So y'all go check it out!
