Hi, guys, I'm a newbie to the forums (although not for long). I'll admit, the forums are a bit overwhelming!

By way of introduction, I am a comic book writer. Most of what I write is in the fantasy or Biblical historical fiction genres.

My most well known fantasy comics are ArmorQuest and George R.R. Martin's The Hedge Knight.

My Biblical historical fiction includes Zondervan's Kingdoms: a Biblical Epic and The Christ for Kingstone.

I also do a podcast called Strangers and Aliens, about sci-fi, fantasy, and spirituality.

Note: I am a writer, NOT an artist! My projects look BEAUTIFUL because I have been very, very, very blessed to work with incredibly talented artists! I don't draw them, because, well, let's be honest -- we want people to BUY the books!

Looking forward to getting to know you!

~ Ben

:cool: Definitely!! I found the Armor Quest website, is that your website?


I love the art caricatures on the about page of your Podcast! :cool:

The forums can be quite overwhelming at first; if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! :D

My favorite authors are (in no particular order): C.S. Lewis, Ray Bradbury, Douglas Adams, Tolkien. Those are the ones that come off the top of my head, and the ones that have remained steady favorites after discovering them.

If it is ArmorQuest.com then it is my publisher's website.

Yes, they are by an artist friend of mine -- who i just found out may be drawing the Job graphic novel I wrote! All I asked for was a headshot, and he gave me full bodied caricatures!!!

It certainly is overwhelming. Especially since there are three huge forums! Each of them being genres I love! (Which is what makes Holy Worlds so cool in the first place!) I figured I'd start here since this is the genre I feel most comfortable in.

Thanks for the welcome!

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.

Works in progress:

The Diegosian Mark, 115,600 words (Preparing for Publication)
The Diegosian Rider, 121,400 words (Finished)
The Diegosian Warrior, 15,000 (In Progress)
