It’s time for Speculative Story Saturday once more and now that the heroes have had their fun, and made a noble sacrifice I think it’s time to go back and see what Landgrave is up to. I’m sure it’s nothing good. Enjoy! Landgrave Christoph recoiled in pain and snarled a curse. He had anticipated resistance from the group when he had lured the assassin into his trap, counted on it even. But he had never expected to encounter a Celestial in mortal shackles. He held up his shriveled left hand, scorched and crippled by the Celestial’s sacrificial surge that had …
Interview with Ted Dekker
Another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Ted Dekker (*Originally posted November 2006) What an honor to have novelist Ted Dekker as our third interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. As I’ve said elsewhere on this site, I feel that the work Ted has done with his fiction, in conjunction with Westbow’s (now Thomas Nelson Fiction’s) innovative marketing, have made great strides for all of us who care about Christian speculative fiction. And now the interview. WhereTheMapEnds: Catch us up with what’s going on in your life. Ted Dekker: I’ve buried myself in movies, primarily House, the movie, and setting up a system …
Behind the Story: The Sea People of Avonai
I love to read about how writers came up with their ideas for different characters, places, etc… and thought it would be fun to share here at MLP how I came up with some of my own. Enjoy! The Sea People of Avonai Readers have told me they love the sea people of Avonai from my book, Daughter of Light. For those of you who have not read it yet, they are a race of people who live along the eastern coast of the continent and are so connected to the sea that they can feel the sea inside their veins …
Interview with Jerry B. Jenkins
Please Welcome…Jerry B. Jenkins (*Originally posted October 2006) This month we have bestselling author Jerry B. Jenkins as our interview guest. Personally, I feel that the work Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye did on the Left Behind series is the reason most Christian novelists are able to get paid to write their stories. That series opened so many doors for us. Suddenly publishers wanted Christian fiction. Companies began to publish fiction even if they’d never done so before. Editors got hired, fiction cover design became important, and many, many Christian novelists found publishers astonishingly open to what, not long before, …

Sunday Devotional–Psalm 146
Sharon’s done a great job grounding us in the Christian part of the Christian speculative fiction MLP specializes in through her Sunday devotionals. I’m here to spell her for August; she deserves the break after a job faithfully and well performed. Christian theology ought to transcend individuals, cultures, geography, era, personality, the any other categories or isms we can imagine, at least in its foundations, what C.S. Lewis termed mere Christianity, much like science or mathematics is commonly thought to do. In this, I’ll offer rough thoughts from my own Sunday morning teaching/preaching and perhaps a nod in the direction …
But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 9)
Time for “Speculative Story Saturday” here at Marcher Lord Press! Hey, everyone, it’s John. I’m back with this week’s installment. Please don’t hate me. ♦ ♦ ♦ Cold wetness slithered across my body, pinning my clothes to puckered skin. My entire body ached, the worst throb between my temples. I swallowed a groan and shifted, trying to escape the object that poked me in my back. “Tekla! Abelard!” Barzillai’s voice, distant and insistent, drilled into my mind. Why was he so upset? I sat up and groaned. I blinked my eyes and looked around. Why was it so dark? Was it …

Interview with Frank Peretti
Here is another interview brought to you buy www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…Frank Peretti (*Originally posted September 2006) What a joy and honor to have novelist Frank Peretti as our initial interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. As I’ve said elsewhere on this site, and as I’ll say to anyone who cares to listen, I consider Frank Peretti the father of Christian speculative fiction in the modern era. His novel This Present Darkness ushered in the modern age of Christian fiction in general. I personally love it that the novel that started it all was speculative. Mr. Peretti was gracious enough to participate in …
