Distant Passages - Volume 1 (2007)
This "best of" anthology from Double-Edged Publishing includes my story "The Choosing," along with a lot of other great speculative fiction and poetry.
Distant Passages - Volume 2 (2007)
A collection of the best fantasy and science fiction poems and stories selected from the award-winning magazines, The Sword Review and Dragons, Knights, & Angels. Twenty-three stories and poems were selected from the favorites of the two publications, works that adhere to traditional values and Christian principles and that are appropriate for fans of fantasy and science fiction of all ages. Edited by Selena Thomason.
Gifted (2007)
Speculative Fiction (3000 words): What if your gift felt more like a curse? Talk about ruining a perfectly good day...
At first I hated my telepathy. I hated being able to read the forbidden thoughts in people's minds, the horrible things they thought but had the decency not to say.
The Choosing (2005)
A science fiction short story.
Blurb:
A shape-shifter struggles to adapt to her newly acquired human form. When she encounters a group of humans, she takes the opportunity to learn more about them. She also falls in love with one of the humans, prompting her to reexamine some of her culture's beliefs.
In "The Choosing" Selena Thomason takes readers back, long before the events of "Verid" and into the lives of the changlings.
I am a writer and editor. Mostly I write science ficiton and fantasy, but I also write a column called "Everyday Faith" for The Sword Review. Most of my published works can be found via my website.
In addition, I am Managing Editor of MindFlights. We publish speculative fiction and poetry with a Christian or Christian-friendly slant. I hope you will visit MindFlights and give some of the work there a read.
Most Novembers I participate in National Novel Writing Month. The goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. It is a blast!

Your add and support has helped us greatly and is much appreciataed. Thanks for supporting us.
Thanks again and God Bless!
Jay From Stop Bullycide [NOW!]!!
What a beautiful day it is here today. The sun is shinning brightly reminding me that the Son will forever shine upon those who seek to reflect His love and glory throughout all the regions of this planet. And throughout all the eons of time I have been in His heart and on His mind. He loves us! Really loves us and has a perfect plan for each of our lives. We are radically blessed that we may be a blessing in like fashion of our Lord.
We are one in Christ. And we are gifted and equipped to edify each other. Until we ALL come into the perfection of the fullness of Christ. We are not mere children tossed about by the wind of the times, the doctrine and trickery of men and the craftiness and deceitfulness of their plotting. (Even politics does not control the obedient child of God) We speak and act on the truth of God's love and grow up in who we are in Christ our head. And in so doing we each are effective in doing our share of what it takes to cause the whole body (whole Church) to be filled with the internal strength, which results in the outward manifestations of God's presence and His provisions. We put off the old man, the things that we learned and indulged in as we marched to the drum of the world. We put on the new man which is created according to God's original plan for us. And which once again gives us the capacity, by the power of Holy Spirit, to live lives of true righteousness and holiness, lives which keep the doors of heaven open to us and the light of Christ glory illuminating our way. How awesome is our God?!!!!
A golden day to you, you extraordinary creation of the Most High! The Son has raisin upon you and there is healing in His wings for every place you hurt.
May your day be filled with the golden elixir (the miraculous cure-all substance) of heaven! And may your heart sing with the joy of Christ' own heart, as your feet dance to the tune of the triumphant trumpet of victory, calling you to a higher place in Him than you have ever dared to go before. May your spiritual eyes be so fully opened that you see all things as possible for and available to you, for the purpose of living above and not beneath the shadow of defeat and disappointment. And may you always hear the call of our Lord, no matter the spiritual success you have presently achieved by His grace, saying to you come up higher I am here waiting for you. Take my hand and I will lead you. My beloved child desire what I desire for you and I will open the door that no one can close and welcome you into the fullness of my love and provisions for you precious life.
I, Sylvia, love you with a love that fills my heart with joy at the thought of your being all that you were created to be in Christ our Lord. Raise up and shine you have been chosen for greatness. Greatness so fine that eye has not seen, ear has not yet heard, nor has the full concept of it yet inter into the heart of any human being. Oh how happy I would be to see you reach for and enter into the fullness of life that is yours in our sweet and awesome God. With all my heart Sylvia xoxoxo

Greetings beloved of the Lord! No sunshine here today! :-( The cold of winter is coming closer each day. The jackets are out and it's time to start simmer the chili to enjoy along with the flying snow, which will soon arrive for those of us who live in a cold climate. For those blessed with year round warmth and sunshine what can I say, except I do hope the invitation is in the mail! LOL. :-))))))))
FACING THE DRAGON
Lose in the spiritual realm, lose in the earthly realm!
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and He adds no sorrow to it. Proverbs 10:22. May you be blessed each day with all that pertains to life and godliness, by the knowledge of Him who called you by glory and virtue. 2 Peter 1:3 And may you be always filled with the joy of the Lord!
Love and spirit lifting hugssssss to you, my treasured friend, as the rays of God's glory lights up your life.
Sylvia :-)))))))))

In Christ,
Simple Faith Trio
You are so welcome beautiful Selena! Just dropping in to tell you how much you are loved and treasured by God and by me. I value your friendship and thank you for all the sweetness and joy you bring into my life. Times are hard for many, but God is faithful. I so want you to know that. Not just as truth alone, for the sake of truth, but by experience continually. The young lions lack and suffer hunger (that is the worldly elite around you) but those who seek the Lord (His instructions) lack no good thing. Psalm 34:10. Therefore, make your boast in Him Psalm 34:2. (Out of your mouth He has established strength that He may silence His enemy and yours. Psalm 8:2. That is that He may stop satan's power over you.) Watch what you say, praise Him, agree with Him, and wait expectantly for the victory. He will lift you to the height of His promises. (To the pinnacle or apex, the very top of the mountain of grace) And there is no way to get higher than that. Psalm 8:2) Remember the terms of His covenant. He will surely keep His word.
YOU ARE A KING!!!
Jesus became a man and overcome that which kept you from being the king under God that you were meant to be. That you might once again take your place as a king and priest of Almighty God! Revelation 1:5-6, 19:16, 22:5.
You were created in the image of the Lord and you are strong in Him and the power of His might. See Genesis 1:27; and Ephesians 6:10. That is you are strong in Him when you believe that you are and give up your weak ways for the power of His Spirit. Feel weak say, "I am strong." (2 Corinthians 12:10; Joel 1:10) You are a regal heir of the Most High. And as a child of this royal clan God intends you always to be the head and not the tail. As you live by the law of love and place your faith in the promises of the Father. Deuteronomy 28:13. You are a ruler over the evil that rules over this messed up world. You are a king of the King. Never waver from the truth of His word. Know who you are! Believe it and live it! He has given you power over all lesser powers than His own. He has deprived the enemy of any right to rule over those who believe when they keep to His word. Romans 8:3; Luke 10:19. Yes, you will be tested again and again. But don't let fear and unbelief keep you in the wilderness and deprive you of your inheritance rights. The Lord your Rock is unshakable. He passed the tests; He trains you to war according to the rules of Heaven, in union with His extraterrestrial, supernatural, undefeatable almighty power. Sound too simple?! It is! But it is not easy. Seldom easy! Your flesh will groan and complain, the world will call you a foolish nut, and your major enemy will roar out threats and try to inundate you with fear. But, you, by walking according to your spirit which is connected to and empower by God's Spirit will always come out a winner, when you fight with the spiritual weapons of the Most high. Step high and smile brightly invade the impossible and conquer it, In the name of Jesus.
Enjoy the ambiance of who Christ is to you and have a rocking weekend!!!
Sending bundles of hugs and mile high blessing your way each day
Sylvia :-) :-) :-)
