writing from the second story

ACSI–speculative ficiton

October 6th 2007 in News

Thanks to the wonderful folks attending ACSI for making my time there so enjoyable! A number of peole asked me about speculative fiction (fantasy, sci-fi, magical realism) written from a Christian world view. The wonderful site, www.wherethemapends.com has a comprehensive list of authors and titles. So, why invent the wheel twice. Go to http://www.wherethemapends.com/Booklist/booklist_intro.htm and choose between a graphics link with book covers included or the text only list. You’ll find good reading for you and your students!

Handouts from Challenging Talented Readers and Poetry will be posted in the next few days.
