But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 4)

by  

  Time for “Speculative Story Saturday” here at Marcher Lord Press! Here is the latest installment. *** Two rats the size of a small dog slowly rotate above the campfire on a makeshift spit. They smell like dog too, only more smoky. They pop and sizzle, their skin turning a crisp red. Up above, the sky is black as ebony and filled with thousands of tiny stars. A warm, humid wind blows, causing the ancient trees around us to creak. I sit on a nearby log, careful to keep my white plated boots out of the encroaching swamp waters. The …

Please Welcome…Kirk Outerbridge What a joy to have Christian speculative fiction novelist Kirk Outerbridge as our interview guest this month here at WhereTheMapEnds.

From the beginning, I’d had Kirk’s book in mind as something to …

How I became a Marcher Lord Author

by  

Last week I shared how I became a writer. Later that night, after I wrote my post, I received a surprising email. Here is the story… (*I originally posted this on August 6th, 2011) I first heard about Marcher Lord Press through a blog interview a few years ago. By then, I knew enough about the writing industry to know that publishing a Christian fantasy would be difficult. Hardly any Christian publishing companies were taking those kinds of books. They wanted romance, historical, Amish. Not a fantasy set in a different world. Not my kind of book. Then I read …
