Wendy Alec
Wendy's first supernatural novel, The Fall of Lucifer, was the fourth novel we launched Realms with. Her visions of heaven and hell, of Christos and Lucifer, are fresh and exciting, as are her depictions of what is going on in the heavenlies in direct parallel with events on earth. You'll never read the Scriptures the same again.
   The Fall of Lucifer
   Messiah, The First Judgement


John Aubrey Anderson
I haven't read John's Black or White Chronicles but they appear to be spiritual warfare fiction.
   Abiding Darkness
   Wedgewood Grey
   And If I Die


Brandon Barr
   When the Sky Fell


R. E. Bartlett
Ruth is a wonderful speculative author living in New Zealand. She has many novels in her—several of which are already written, but unpublished. The only one that has so far been published is another of the four we launched Realms with. I was thrilled with Ruth's vision of a futuristic world in which humans can prolong their lives indefinitely through the use of artificial bodies called personifids.
   The Personifid Invasion
   The Departed
   The Personifid Project


Wayne Thomas Batson

Theo, who is an American living in Switzerland, writes very creepy supernatural thrillers for the Christian and secular markets.
   The War in Heaven
   The World in Shadow
   The Wrath of Angels
   Summa Elvetica: A Casuistry of the Elvish Controversy


Geralyn Beauchamp
   The Call


James BeauSeigneur
The lines can get a little blurry when talking about speculative fiction. James' Christ Clone trilogy could fit in a "pure speculative" category, but I've put them in SF for convenience.
   In His Image
   Birth of an Age
   Acts of God


T. Russell Benedict
Tim published this spacefaring SF through PublishAmerica. He is one of the fine self-published Christian speculative novelists I am proud to promote.
   Pawns


Joseph Bentz
Joseph's fantasy novel is now out of print, but you can find copies online.
   Song of Fire


Lisa T. Bergren
Lisa is best known for her historical novels, but The Begotten is a fun spiritual warfare novel. It was praised by Publisher's Weekly and earned a starred review in Booklist.
   The Begotten
   The Betrayed
   The Blessed


Chuck Black
Chuck is another author writing youth/young adult Christian fantasy. This is his Kingdom series. This series is essentially the entire Bible written as a fantasy. Cool, huh? Kingdom's Reign is the book of Revelation.
   Kingdom's Dawn
   Kingdom's Hope
   Kingdom's Edge
   Kingdom's Call

Austin Boyd
Austin, a former NASA astronaut finalist, writes true science fiction, meaning fiction that is built directly atop actual science. His Mars Hill Classified series (released through NavPress) is about human spaceflight to Mars, the possibility of intelligent life on Mars, and all manner of deception, danger, and interpersonal struggle.
   The Evidence
   The Proof
   The Return


Amanda Bradburn
   The Keepers of Elenath


Grace Bridges
Grace is a New Zealander with Irish roots. She's also an active member of The Lost Genre Guild and the Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy Blogtour. This is a dark future SF in which the Awakened try to survive despite a brutal one-world government.
   Faith Awakened


Sigmund Brouwer
Like Bill Myers, Sigmund has written both for adult and young adult audiences. His recent series with Hank Hanegraff is good end times fiction and his Mars Diaries series for young adults is great SF fun. Note that this is just a sampling of Sigmund's many speculative novels, primarily for the young adult market.

   Mars Diaries: Mission 3

Vernon Buford
Vernon is an author with Destiny Image.
   Shadows of Legion


Davis Bunn
Davis (who also writes under T. Davis Bunn) is a veteran Christian novelist. Most of his novels are not speculative, but Heartland is. Davis also wrote The Spectrum Chronicles under the pen name Thomas Locke. Three of the original four novels were later released as The Dream Voyagers, under the name T. Davis Bunn.
   Heartland
   The Dream Voyagers


D. Shane Burton
Shane's Orianus Creation trilogy is among the fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm proud to promote. Note that he and Josh Michael Burton are brothers.
   Black Storm Rising
   When Worlds Rage
   Dark Tyrant's Ascension


Josh Michael Burton
This is Josh's first novel. It's another fine POD book. He and D. Shane Burton are brothers.
   Journey Into the Gateway of Dimensions


Jack Cavanaugh
Jack is known mostly for his award-winning historical fiction, but Death Watch is a great speculative novel. The other books listed are in Jack's Kingdom Wars series, new supernatural fiction from Howard.
   Death Watch
   A Hideous Beauty
   Tartarus


G. K. Chesterton
I've not read this, but a site guest says it's "super-bizarre spec fiction by a wonderful Christian author of past generations."
   The Man Who Was Thursday


Rich Coffeen
   The Discipling Of Mytra


Frank Creed
Frank is a great encourager and leading proponent of Christian speculative fiction. His near-future novel takes place in an America ruled by a one-world government.
   Flashpoint


Gene Curtis
Gene's novel is one of the fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm proud to promote. In this fantasy, sword-wielding magi fight for Good.
   The Seventh Mountain


Chase Dalton
Atlantyx is a technothriller with a cool cover and a fun premise.
   Atlantyx


Bryan Davis
Bryan is a Christian fantasy novelist with a lot of marketing savvy and energy. His Dragons in Our Midst and Oracles of Fire novels have succeeded largely because of his extensive speaking schedule where he addresses home school groups and local libraries. He's also a skilled craftsman in the craft of fiction. His books are for a youth audience.

Amy Deardon
   A Lever Long Enough


Ted Dekker
The new kid on the block, relatively speaking, is Ted Dekker. Ted's creative speculative ideas, rock star persona, and aggressive marketing efforts have broadened the popularity of Christian speculative fiction even further.

Shaunti Feldhahn
Shaunti first hit the Christian reading public as a Y2K expert, back in the day. She and I actually wrote a Y2K sourcebook together, then I went on to edit the year-long newsletter called "Countdown Y2K" that was Shaunti's vehicle for dissemenating preparedness news. Shaunti is a sweet lady and a good writer. Her For Women Only and For Men Only books with Multnomah have done very well. Shaunti has also written two spiritual warfare novels. The first takes place at Harvard University, from which institution Shaunti is a graduate.
   The Veritas Conflict
   The Lights of Tenth Street


Peter Fleming
   Falling to Destiny


Lelia Rose Foreman
This is juvenile SF from Eerdmans. Far-future novel about a Christian colony's attempts to survive on a planet a thousand light-years from earth.
   Shatterworld


Alton Gansky
Some of Al's novels are spiritual warfare, some are supernatural thrillers, and some are chillers. The guy's mind is as flexible as it is creative. About the only category I could find that fit just about everything he did is this one. Al's novel A Ship Possessed was one of the first supernatural thrillers I read, and the power of the genre stuck with me. Al's speculative fiction has been a finalist for a Christy Award in the visionary category several times.
   A Ship Possessed

Sharon K. Gilbert
These appear to be spiritual warfare novels or supernatural thrillers. The first is book 1 in The Laodicea Chronicles and the second is book 1 in The Countdown series. Book 2 of The Laodicea Chronicles is available from Lulu.com, as isIron Dragons, a fantasy novel by Sharon's husband, Derek.
   Winds of Evil
   Armageddon Strain


L. B. Graham
Another novelist writing Christian fantasy for young people. This is his Binding of the Blade series. One striking feature of this series is that the cover illustrations are done by the legendary Larry Elmore, of D&D and TSR fame.
   Beyond the Summerland
   Bringer of Storms
   Shadow in the Deep
   Father of Dragons


Leathel Grody
With a name like Leathel the guy's got to be someone to be reckoned with, wouldn't you think? And Leathel certainly is. He's an author, a Web design genius, and a computer game designer. His Web site dedicated to Christian science fiction and fantasy is easily the coolest-looking such site on the Web. And who's ever heard of a Christian MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game)? Well, he's designing one! Check it out. I'm very impressed with Mr. Grody. He's definitely a kindred spirit. Here are his novels, the Foundations of Hope trilogy. Books 1 and 2 are due out in paperback in May 2007. Book 3 is coming soon.
   Faith of the Unforgotten
   Into the Darkness
   Faith of the Unforgotten (Hardcover)


Jane Hamilton
I'm not familiar with this author, but a site guest like you recommended this book of hers. It appears to be a book about an angel moving from grief to joy.
   The Guardian


Karen Hancock
Each of Karen's first four novels won the Christy Award in the visionary category. That's an impressive feat and tells you how good her fantasy is.
   Arena
   Light of Eidon
   The Shadow Within
   Shadow Over Kiriath

   Nicole of Prie Mer
   Ares of Westford
   Prisoners of Hope


Craig Harms
   Day Omega


T. L. Higley
Tracy (who is female) has written some excellent novels in the speculative category. She's great in all aspects of writing, but I think she really shines when she has stories that take place in historical eras. Tracy's Fallen from Babel was a time travel novel that constituted one of the four books we launched Realms with. Watch for a new series from Tracy releasing through B&H.
   Retrovirus
   Marduk's Tablet
   Fallen from Babel


Sharon Hinck
Sharon has published some fun (and even a little speculative) chick-lit fiction with Bethany House. But her first love is Christian fantasy. With no contracts and only the love of her stories burning in her, she wrote the entire manuscripts for her Restorer trilogy.
   The Restorer
   The Restorer's Son
   The Restorer's Journey


T. L. Hines
T. L. Hines (who is male, and not to be confused with T. L. Higley, who is female), is a promising new author with a fun speculative title from Bethany House.
   Waking Lazarus
   The Dead Whisper On


Douglas Hirt
Doug's Cradleland Chronicles is a great envisioning of life at the beginning of mankind's time on earth. RiverOak, who published this series, is trying some innovative things with podcasting for these books.
   Flight to Eden
   Quest for Atlan
   The Fall of the Nephilim


Caprice Hokstad
Caprice's fantasy novel is one of the many fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm happy to promote.
   The Duke's Handmaid
   Nor Iron Bars a Cage


Christopher Hopper
Christopher was one of the Fantasy Four authors that made their book tour in summer 2007. These novels comprise his White Lion Chronicles.
   Rise of the Dibor
   The Lion Vrie


Tom Horn
Tom is one of the fine self-published authors I'm proud to feature on WhereTheMapEnds. His novels have UFO and government cover-up storylines. The first novel listed below is co-written with Nita Horn. On the second novel Tom lists his name as Thomas R. Horn.
   The Ahriman Gate
   Nephilim Stargates


James Byron Huggins
Byron writes some for Christian publishers and some for secular houses. But his speculative fiction is always...creepy.
   The Reckoning
   Leviathan
   Cain
   A Wolf Story
   Hunter
   Nightbringer
   The Scam
   Sorcerer

   The Prophet of Lamath
   The Wizard in Waiting
   The Power and the Prophet
   The Forging of the Dragon
   The Faithful Traitor


Angela Hunt
Angie is a prolific Christian novelist who usually writes in other genres besides speculative. However, The Immortal, which concerns the legend of the Wandering Jew, is clearly speculative. As is The Truth Teller.
   The Immortal
   The Truth Teller


Randall Ingermanson
I wrote about Randy in the Christian Science Fiction section, but since several of his novels are more accurately time travel, I've put them here. Transgression won a Christy award for excellence in Christian fiction.
   Oxygen
   The Fifth Man
   Double Vision
   Transgression
   Premonition
   Retribution


Shane Johnson
Shane's Chayatocha was the first novel I've read that I would consider almost Christian horror. It's a fabulous premise and a good read. Shane's speculative fiction has been nominated for a Christy Award.
   Ice
   The Last Guardian
   Chayatocha
   A Form of Godliness
   The Demas Revelation


L. A. Kelly
L. A. "Leisha" Kelly is the author of some Depression-era historical fiction, but this series is inspirational fantasy.
   Tahn
   Return to Alastair
   The Scarlet Trefoil


Russell Kirkpatrick
Russell is an an interesting guy. He's a professional mapmaker (which comes out in his world-building) and a New Zealander, to boot. This series, "The Fire of Heaven" trilogy, was originally released in Australia/NZ but has now come to the U.S. I've been told he's a Christian author and these are Christian novels. They look fun.
   Across the Face of the World
   In the Earth Abides the Flame
   The Right Hand of God


Jim Kraus
Not all of Jim's novels are SF, but this one is. Bit of trivia for you: the title "the silence" was typed on my own keyboard and photographed by Chris Gilbert, the designer who did this cover. Cool, huh?
   The Silence


Madeleine L'Engle
The Granddame of Christian speculative fiction.
   A Wrinkle in Time
   A Wind in the Door
   A Swiftly Tilting Planet
   Many Waters


Tim LaHaye
Another watershed event both for Christian fiction and for Christian speculative fiction was the release and subsequent popularity of the Left Behind novels. Christian novelists owe much to LaHaye and Jenkins (the latter especially, since he did most of the writing). As with Peretti, with the success of these books came a new openness from Christian publishers and, more importantly, Christian bookstores to Christian fiction. It's worth noting that once again the thing that advanced Christian fiction was a speculative tale. More than any other type of fiction, speculative fiction best belongs to Christian writers and readers. It's our native language.

Shawn Lamb
   Allon: Book 1


Stephen Lawhead
It would be easy to argue that Stephen Lawhead ought to be placed in the category of industry-shaping giants of Christian speculative fiction. His Pendragon series was among the first I discovered in Christian bookstores. Some of the images from Taliesin—the bull leaping, for instance—stick in my mind to this day. Stephen has moved on to mostly secular publishing now, as this is where he's found a larger audience. But his origins are with us and he has still provided some of the most wonderful Christian fantasy of the modern era. His novel Byzantium, though technically a historical and not speculative, is still the finest Christian novel I've ever read.

   Empyrion II: The Siege of the Dome

   Avalon: The Return of King Arthur

Tosca Lee
Tosca has a long history in speculative worlds, as a tabletop gamer, a writer, and a model and beauty pageant winner. Her speculative writing is so good that it has caused more than one woman to comment on how it isn't fair for one person to "have it all." I had the great honor of being the first to bring Tosca to the world of Christian fiction, and to be her editor and friend. Don't miss the interview I did with her. Demon: A Memoir is about a man who walks into a diner and is hailed by a stranger—who happens to be a demon in human form, bent on telling the protagonist all about human history—from a certain point of view. Brilliant writing.
   Demon: A Memoir
   Havah: The Story of Eve


Jeffrey Leever
Jeffrey is a Christian writing for a secular publishing house. His first novel is what he calls "Christian-influenced Thrill-Horror." It's a PG-13 novel about a terrifying killer (or killers) haunting a small Indiana town. Set for a September 15, 2007 release.
   Dark Friday


Richard Leonard
   Heart of the Highriders


C. S. Lewis
Here's another guy who needs no introduction. Most people know of Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, but not everyone knows of his Space Trilogy. It's heady stuff, completely speculative and utterly Christian. And the last two are classics, especially Screwtape. It's a must-read.
   The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe
   The Horse and His Boy
   Prince Caspian
   The Magician's Nephew
   The Voyage of the "Dawn Treader"
   The Silver Chair
   The Last Battle
   Out of the Silent Planet
   Perelandra
   That Hideous Strength
   The Screwtape Letters
   The Great Divorce


Robert Liparulo
I've known Bob for years. He once reviewed some of my speculative fiction for New Man magazine. Now he's an author in his own right, with all kinds of movie deals always circling around him and his books. Awesome covers, too.
   Comes a Horseman
   Germ
   Deadfall


Mike Lynch
   When the Sky Fell


George MacDonald
MacDonald is considered by many to be the first Christian speculative novelist of the "modern" (19th century) period. Writers like Tolkien and Lewis were no doubt influenced by his writings.
   Phantastes
   Lilith


Kathryn Mackel
Kathy has a wonderfully creepy speculative mind. She's got screenwriting experience (including working on Peretti's Hangman's Curse) in addition to her fiction credits. I credit Kathy with introducing me to the term "Christian chillers." Watch for a new series from Kathy releasing through Realms.
   The Surrogate
   The Hidden
   Outriders
   Trackers
   Vanished


L. A. Marzulli
Lynn Marzulli (who is male) wrote the Nephilim series, which is great Christian science fiction. Also, if you're interested in UFOs from the worldview of Christianity, be sure to check out my white paper on the subject.
   Nephilim: The Truth is Here
   The Unholy Deception
   The Revealing: The Time is Now


Paul McCusker
Paul is best known for his pioneering and prolific work writing and directing hundreds of the Adventures in Odyssey radio series for children from Focus on the Family, where he is Writer in Residence. But Paul is also a gifted speculative novelist for adults, which can be seen in his inspired idea for Twilight: a grieving private detective is hired by a new set of clients with one thing in common—they're all dead. Paul is also the author of the Time Twisters trilogy of time travel novels for youth.
   Sudden Switch
   Stranger in the Mist
   Memory's Gate


Carole McDonnell
Carole's fantasy novel is one I looked at while acquisitions editor at Realms and NavPress. Excellent writing and bold vision, and by an African-American woman author, to boot! This novel is being published by a secular publisher but it's Christian through and through. Check it out.
   Wind Follower


Maureen Doyle McQuerry
Maureen's YA fiction is fun because it takes its imagery and themes from fairy tales. Not the Disney kind, but the original Grimm's kind, or the kind from Celtic mythology, in which there really are monsters and in which singing princesses get quickly eaten. The title of the first novel, for instance, comes from the story of the three little pigs.
   Wolfproof
   Travelers Market


Paul Meier
These aren't new books, but somehow I missed them before now. The Secret Code is billed as "prophetic fiction," so I guess this is as good a category for it as any. All of these books, with the exception of the first one, were co-written by Robert Wise.
   The Third Millenium
   The Fourth Millenium
   Beyond the Millenium
   The Secret Code


Calvin Miller
Calvin Miller is best known for his Singer trilogy of poetry, which every Christian should read. But he has also produced a fantasy trilogy called The Singreale Chronicles. Though mainly for a youth audience it is still an interesting read for adults. And he is coming out with a new series from B&H: The Kinta Chronicles.
   Guardians of the Singreale
   Star Riders of Ren
   War of the Moonrhymes
   The Dogs of Snoqualmie
   Blindsided


Greg Mitchell
Greg bills himself as a Christian horror author. This trilogy is "a monster hunter epic about demons descending upon small town middle America and the ordinary people who must overcome their misconceptions about the Christian faith in order to take up arms and make their last stand."
   The Strange Man


Kathleen Morgan
Kathleen is the author of the Guardians of Gadiel series, the second of which is currently in publishing limbo.
   Giver of Roses


Gilbert Morris
Gilbert Morris is a well-known author of Christian historical novels, but he has also written speculative fiction. Though there are several genres represented here I've put them all under this one category. The Omega Trilogy is technothriller fiction that he co-wrote with Lynn and Alan Morris. The Far Fields is a fantasy series co-written with Robert Funderburk, now out of print. The other series are all for young adults. (Complete series not shown)

R. K. Mortensen
The Landon Snow novels are an exciting new series for young readers (ages 9–12). The awesome covers are done by none other than Kirk DouPonce of Dog-Eared Design, who designed the graphical look of WhereTheMapEnds.

   Landon Snow and the Shadows of Malus Quidam
   Landon Snow and the Island of Arcanum
   Landon Snow and the Volucer Dragon

Nancy Moser
Nancy is best known for her women's fiction and thrillers, but two of her novels are clearly speculative. Time Lottery won the Christy Award for the visionary category. I was honored to be her editor.
   Time Lottery
   Second Time Around


David Murray
David is a talented illustrator and author. Check out his Web page to see the awesome animated intro for the book. This novel is targeted to young readers.

Bill Myers
I introduced Bill back in Christian Science Fiction, but his young adult series, Forbidden Doors, is so clearly in the chiller category that I'm listing them here.

Miles Owens
It was my great pleasure to bring Miles to the reading public. I "discovered" his fantasy fiction while I was at Realms. Daughter of Prophecy became one of the four novels (and the only fantasy) that we launched Realms with. It was also my pleasure to be his editor. I have, hanging on my wall in my home office, an oversize poster of the original Cliff Nielsen illustration we commissioned for Daughter of Prophecy. Miles remains one of my favorite Christian fantasy authors.
   Daughter of Prophecy


Robin Parrish
Robin (who is male) has created the awesome INFUZE site and Webzine. He has also written a handful of novels that are clearly speculative.

Ronald G. Patterson
Ron's Ballad of Penumbria series is a historically rooted fantasy retelling of the story of the church from Christ's first advent and on through to the Millennial Kingdom.
   A King's Ransom


Donita K. Paul
Donita's cover for DragonSpell was the first cover I'd ever seen that told me someone in the publishing industry might actually get Christian fantasy. Donita's books are for a youth audience.

Frank Peretti
Let's start with the man whose fiction gave birth to Christian fiction in the modern age, Frank Peretti. Before him, the shelves didn't have much more than Janette Oke, Catherine Marshall, and C.S. Lewis. Fine fiction, for sure, but not entirely broad. It is worth noting that the novel that ushered in the modern era of Christian fiction was clearly Christian speculative fiction.
   This Present Darkness

Brian is a young writer with a bright future in Christian speculative fiction. His Portal is a self-published novel about friends who invent a time machine and try to repair their past mistakes. I think Brian's real forte is in supernatural thrillers but so far none of those novels of his has been published.

   Stolen Lives


Jeremy Robinson
Jeremy Robinson writes time travel novels with a great premise. His first novel, at least, is one of the fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm proud to promote. Note, though, that he tends to use profanity in his fiction.
   The Didymus Contingency
   Raising the Past


John Robinson
John has published the Joe Box trilogy, which is in the thriller genre. But he's got an unpublished speculative series that will hopefully be available soon.

Jefferson Scott
Me again. My first three novels were near-future technothrillers featuring virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering. The second trilogy is a Christian military thriller series, which has nothing to do with speculative fiction, but it's my site so I get to promote them anyway! Bwahahahaha! And did I mention I've co-written two nonfiction books, too? Check out my Web page here.

D. Brian Shafer
Brian's Chronicles of the Host series is good speculative fiction about how the great struggle between God and Satan may have been, is being, and will be fought.

James Somers
James's novel is part SF part fantasy. It takes place in a faraway sector of space, but it's a battle between good and evil, like those done so well in fantasy.
   The Chronicles of Soone


Gergory Spencer
These appear to be young adult fantasies. They are published by Howard Books, a Christian publisher.

Richard J. Sutcliffe
Rick's Web site, Arjay Books, attracts lots of hits and scores very well on Google searches. He has some good information on Christian SF and fantasy novels there. Rick is Canadian and is a professor of mathematics and computing science at the university level. His Interregnum series is "alternate-history Irish-flavoured Christian science fiction" that "deals with a variety of technology and ethical issues in thought-provoking plots set on alternate earths." How cool is that? As far as I know, Rick's series is the only Christian alternate history fiction on this list. Certainly it is one of the few, and I applaud his efforts both as a novelist and a Web advocate for Christian speculative fiction. Note that the The General and The Nexus are available only as e-books. The first three are are also available through Amazon as print versions. Volumes 6 and 7 are in development.

J. R. R. Tolkein
Like I have to introduce Tolkien, the man who basically invented the modern fantasy genre. Tolkien's Catholic faith certainly informed his speculative fiction, but I do not believe he had any direct allegorical purpose in mind when he wrote of Middle-Earth. Tolkien's trilogy pretty much singlehandedly made me decide to become a novelist. There are powers at work in his fiction that resonate on a level far deeper than allegory. This is the stuff of myth and human archetype. Note that this is not a complete listing of Tolkien's works, and it is certainly not a complete listing of all the editions of his works, or books about his works. Just have fun browsing!
