George Bryan Polivka writes pirate-type fiction with quite imaginative creatures. The series entitled Trophy Chase Trilogy was published by Harvest House.

The only ones I can think of that I like are Tolkien, Lewis, and MacDonald.

LOL For Graham, I mean that he is a wonderfully talented writer, and I think all serious fantasy readers--and certainly every single writer of Christian Fantasy--should read his books. I will probably own all the BotB series one day and make my children read them. However, I don't see myself reading them again.

Paul, on the other hand, I love because she is one of the first Christian Fantasy authors I ever read, but not really one of the best writers.

So, I love them, and they are favorites, but more on principle than anything else.
