Day 2: CSFF Tour of Lost Genre Guild

Day Two—Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy Blog Tour:
The Lost Genre Guild’s Featured Artists; December, 2008

Listed Alphabetically:

Brandon Barr: and co-author Mike Lynch recently announced that the first chapter of their new novel won a "first chapter contest" at the Dead Robot Society.

Grace Bridges: Author of Faith Awakened, a cyberpunk tale with a classic old literary sci-fi style; and Legendary Space Pilgrims, a continuation of Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress, and Lewis’ Pilgrim’s Regress. She also manages our blog and bookstore.

Johne Cook: Editor of Double Edged Publishing’s Ray-Gun Revival, serial author and head of the Guild’s Packer fan-club. The kind of guy who wears green and yellow jerseys to Chicago.

Rick Copple: A sci-fi and fantasy author . . . and poet, Rick may be one of the LGG's newest members but he is no stranger to Christian speculative fiction. Infinite Realities, Rick's novel is published by Double-Edged Publishing and his short stories appear in all the best Christian spec-fic ezines. Read his article, Fantasy and Christianity at ResAliens and make sure you visit his blog: Copple's Creations

Steve Doyle: Steve and I go back to my first speculative fiction forays into the Web: elfwood.com and the Herscher Project. Steve is one of three authors on this list with whom I share publication in the Light at the Edge of Darkness anthology. Check out Steve's links:
Elfwood (world's largest fantasy and sci-fi site)
The Herscher Project (all things speculative fiction: for writers)
Steve's website: Doyle Books
New Book News: as the name says

Karina Fabian: One of the few LGG members I’ve met in the flesh. Karina joined the Lost Genre Tour at the Chicago Tribune Book Fair. We will both be presenting workshops at the Catholic Writer’s Conference Online in February. She’s editor of the Infinite Space and Infinite God, and Leaps of Faith Christian sci-fi anthologies, and has an amusing pet—a dragon named Vern.

Andrea & Adam Graham: Editors of Laser & Sword magazine, the Grahams are into Podcasting, and Kilt-making (am I starting to sound like the Dating game announcer, or is it just me?). They’re two of the three authors on this list with whom I share publication in the Light at the Edge of Darkness anthology. Other links include:
Adam's Blog
Kings Kilts

Paulette Harris: Paulette is a writer of inspirational supernatural fiction. Polly’s active in our newsgroup and calls Colorado home. Check out her blog at Come and Sit Awhile.

Caprice Hokstad: Author of The Duke’s Handmaid and Nor Bars an Iron Cage, Caprice is a member of many Web communities, and a great encourager, and a manuscript proofreader for The Finishers. Check out her blog, Queen of Convolution and her official website Latoph (which is way cool!)

Mike Lynch: co-authors with Brandon Barr, and is a frequent contributor to the LGG newsgroup. Mike's much like Brandon, but with more facial hair. 8D

Terri Main: Editor of Wayfarer’s Journal, Communications instructor, our resident voice recognition software expert, and an aspiring Moon-whodunnit novelist and nonfiction author of Creative Calisthenics. Terri has been instrumental at getting the LGG mentors board off the ground and running!

Scott Sandridge: is an editor for Fear and Trembling, a Speculative Fiction Writer, Speaker, Reviewer, and Columnist. Check out his blog A Work in Progress where one can learn all sorts of information about the state of this country!

Sherry Thompson: Author of Seabird, book one of the The Narentan Tumults which is reviewed on the Guild Review. Sherry is a frequent contributor to the LGG newsgroup and can be counted on to dish up some fun as well as serious comments. Visit the Scroll Chamber for more about Sherry—including some great artwork!

Thanks y'all for making the Lost Genre Guild such a positive and constructive group.

Thanks for the plug, Frank! I feel honored just to be included on the same page as these others.

Psssst. Grace Bridges' novel is entitled "Faith Awakened". I know you knew that.

Thanks for the mention, Frank. Have a great 2009.

Ack!

You guys deserve the exposure.

Faith,

Nicely done, Frank. I feel like I've just been introduced at a major function!

Gosh Frank, thank you for the nice blurb on your site here. I enjoy everyone of you and what you have to say. This is the finest group I have ever belonged to because you are all so open and friendly to helping others grow in grace.
Thanks for being you.
Blessings, Paulette Harris
