G’day. I’m Adam David Collings, and this is the Christian Science Fiction & Fantasy bulletin for January 2017.
Kerry Neitz has re-released his novel Mask. This edition is expanded and Improved, and is considered the “Author’s Preferred Text” version.
And Neitz has joined fellow Christian author Steve Rzasa in penning a novel set in the Takamo universe, based on the popular RPG game. Kerry’s novel Rhats follows the adventure of a rat-like alien abducted from his home and forced to work with smugglers.
Mythic Orbits, an anthology of some of the best fantasy and science fiction by Christian Authors was released on New Year’s Eve. The collection has received some impressive endorsements. Tosca Lee says of the book: “A collection of brief, delightful departures–and a few welcome chills. A truly enjoyable and impressive anthology.” Kathy Tyres says “This collection presents a satisfying spectrum of storytellers, some familiar and others new on the scene. Some of the tales are unsettling and some are comforting; many are thought- provoking. Enjoy the ride.”
