I don't really stick to a particular genre as I read just about anything I find interesting.

Have you posted your short stories anywhere? Do you write a particular kind of fantasy?

Could you tell us a little about your book and what first attracted you to writing with a fantasy edge?

Welcome Roager sir!
Your song will cause quite a stir!
Because it will be the longest I have done!
In my songs I have rhymes, jokes, and maybe a pun!
You will find Holy worlds to be very fun!
We are all celebrating, God's holy son!

His love, his life, and his love.
The holy spirit; in the form of a dove!
He saved us from evil, from our own sin!
He saved Daniel; from the lions den!
You will find here; great women, great men!
Youl'll find a shield to protect you from evil, made from great copper, and tin!

Sadly this is the last of my lines.
I will now soon stop, with all of my rhymes.
But I hope you have fun, in this world of holies!
But right now>>> I"m going to stop rhyming!


Oh and by the way: hi I am Svensteel! Or Namor... Or for some: Ramon?
*cough cough* Lady Elly *cough cough*

That is actually a very interesting premise.

That it is.

Oh, and by the by, I'm Evenstar, Dawn, or Estar, as you prefer, just to keep things simple! *side note: "simple" and "holy worlds" really don't mix*

Do you think there are any restrictions on your writing, as a Christian author?

Wow. There is sure a lot of pies, tacos, chocolate, and glitter getting tossed around. I feel sorry for the person who has to clean all this up.


I guess that depends on which restrictions you mean. Themes? Subject matter? What to show and hold back? My short answer is no, I do not think there are any restrictions on my writing as a Christian author. Of course I'll use common sense. If I’m writing a story intended for all ages or for younger children then I’ll definitely show restraint, but if I’m intending the story for a more mature audience then my writing will reflect that.

But that doesn't mean I'm going to go ahead and litter my story with extreme content just because I can. If a Christian writes a violent scene for the sake of showing violence or a risque scene just to titillate the reader, then I would say they need to show constraint, but I would also say the same to a writer who is not Christian. Scenes such as those that do nothing to further the plot or add to character development is just poor writing.

However, if a story needs to show a particularly violent scene that is essential to move plot, to expand character development, has meaning, and is honest, then I think it should be included. I also think the level of detail involved in those scenes is dependent on the story and comfort level of the author.

some of us are better with pictures or non-word sounds

Oh, by the way, the penguin crew is the clean up.

Good. I thought since it was my thread I'd be the one stuck with the bucket.
