Hello, I registered a while back but haven't been able to post in a while. Anyway, I am a Christian Fantasy Writer and budding game developer. I want to use my writing as an Evangelistic tool to reach out to those who are lost.

I have finished my first book entitled "Heritage Lost- The White Tower" and hope to have it out soon.

Looking forward to some great discussion!

Be careful of your thoughts; guard your mind, for your thoughts become words. Be guarded when you speak, for your words turn into action. Watch what you do, for your actions will become habits. Be wary of your habits, for they become your character. Pray over your character; strive to mold it to the image of Christ, because your character will shape your destiny.

Ideas can germinate from the smallest seeds. Collect those seeds, and let them grow in the back of your mind. You may be surprised by what finally blooms.

When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you. Instead, He’s opening your hands to receive something better. The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.

You have blue skin with orange polka dots. Four eyes, one red, one yellow, one green, and one blue. You have four arms, two are furry and two are scaly. One ear is a floppy dog's ear and the other is a pointy dog's ear. Your hair is a mess of tentacles. You have the body of a centaur, with four wings and two tails (both with feathers on the end).

Greetings and salutations.

Game developer? Cool. What kind of games?

Greets! Happy to have you join us! I agree with the others... that's exciting that you finished your book and plan to release it, and we're dying (or so it would seem) for more details! :D

Game developer... that's really neat, too!

Welcome to the coolest space in cyberspace!

Game developer sounds fun. I develop board games more than computer games, but I have used Microsoft Excel to create a pretty epic game.

Congrats on completing a story, that takes dedication.

Thanks for the warm welcome!

As far as the Book, it is called "Heritage Lost- The White Tower" and takes place on the earth (then called elethra) before the re-creation in genesis Chapter one. (Note: I really don't believe that the earth was created, destroyed at Satan's Fall, and then re-created in Genesis chapter one as some believe. But is makes a great backdrop to a story! :) )

It revolves around the Main character, Loriden Ulrich, and his yearning for magic in a nation that has outlawed even the mention of the world. Anyway, his yearning leads him on a great quest to discover the truth. Along the way he learns that a great evil (Sotthem) is moving to invade their land and that he will be a key to stopping it.

As far as the game, I am working on a Christian "Oblivion" style immersive game. And although you CAN use Excel for simple styled games, I am using a different engine. So far it is whipping me but I am hanging in there.

Thanks for asking!

I would be glad to post some excerpts of my book if someone knows the right place to do so.
