A moment of which mere authors don't dare to dream . . . or . . ."Christian Science Fiction at it's Best"--The Queen of Christian Fantasy!!!
One of life's high points occured in 2008. I'd met the best selling christian fantasy author since C.S. Lewis. Donita Paul, online about three years ago, and she recently suggested we meet locally for coffee while she visited town.
On a crisp autumn evening we sat at cafe tables sharing dessert and coffee--my wife and I, with she and her adult son. In parting--after a full two hours that I will long treasure--I gave her sci-fi-fanboy-son a copy of Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground.
She wrote me shortly after at Shoutlife.com where we share membership to say she swiped my first novel from him to read herself!
I know, right?
A few weeks later I discovered the following brief review on my Amazon page.
Christian Science Fiction at its Best, November 13, 2008
By Donita K. Paul (http://www.dragonkeeper.us) - See all my reviews
I recommend this book. Not often does an author integrate Scripture into fiction in a way that does not belittle the Word of God or damage the fictive dream presented in the story. Frank Creed has created a world in which the reader can believe that the power of the Word is used by these fascinating and believable characters. The demonstration of faith is natural not contrived. Young believers, reading this futuristic tale, will witness Christians in action against foes that represent real opposition present in our world today.
: ) Ahhhh!
Faith,
