Infinite Realities (2008)
R. L. Copple's Infinite Realities could easily begin with the words: "One May morning on Malvern Hills..." The book is allegorical and shares many of the hallmarks of the classic morality plays. Stylistically, it has more in common with Everyman, The Debate of Body and Soul, and the Corpus Christi plays than the more modern allegories of writers such as C. S. Lewis. This makes Infinite Realities both a bit of a rarity and, for many readers, a likely refreshing change of pace.

Seven Archangels: Annihilation (2008)
Satan thinks he can kill a creature meant to live forever...

Heaven is forever...or so we thought.
What would happen if Satan could obliterate an eternal soul?

All angels have known since their creation that they cannot be killed?but now Satan is convinced the impossible can be done. Demons abduct and are able to tear apart the Archangel Gabriel's soul, leaving Heaven in stunned grief. If angels can be killed, where is God's justice?

Can Gabriel be saved from the void? How can Satan be prevented from achieving a final victory against God?

The Servant of the Manthycore (2008)
A gripping tale of the ancient Middle East! "Behold a warrior woman as ruthless, bloody, and honorable as the ancient world in which she walks, spanning more than forty lifetimes, while Ur and Babylon seethe with a thousand gods... What we have here is no less than a bright new epic, written with the bold spirit of the 21st century, yet spanning back into the mists of time. From Michael Ehart's fierce imagination comes an unforgettable gritty heroine, both human and goddess, and yet something much more... Gilgamesh, Elric, and Conan have finally met their female match!"

About Bill Snodgrass

My name is Bill Snodgrass and I am very involved in a number of different things.

First, Great News!

TeenAge, is up and running! TeenAge is a magazine designed to be fun, exciting, and entertaining. It is grounded in Christian principles, but it's not meant to be stuffy or churchy. The main focus is to make being a teen more fun, and to help readers live the teen years better.

To keep this from being stuffy, I'm putting together a group of teen-to-twenty year old editors to be in charge. Really. This is going to be a lot of fun!

What else am I doing on ShoutLife?

I am here to build alliances and relationships with Readers, Writers, and Artists. I am "involved" with Double Edged Publishing, Inc (more below) in a big way, and I intend to use shoutlife as a way to reach people who might share an interest with me in quality works of word and art. I'll be using this site to promote projects and to connect with others. I have a special interest in fantasy and science fiction, by the way.

I also have a MySpace account, so if you have one of those, too, please add me there! (You need to be logged in, of course!) I have some great music reviews blogged on that site.

Naturally, since I am involved with fiction and poetry magazines, when there are updates, I'll blog about those as well. I'll post announcements about new contents, contests, and things like that. I'll probably occasionally have the random thought to share that's not right for my column at The Sword Review.

More about me

I am in seminary at Memphis Theological Seminary. Sometimes, I get paid to build web sites. I am a partner in Web-Net Solutions, LLC. We are mostly dealing with existing customers for whom we wrote web applications (PHP & mySQL). I write a little (mostly fantasy and science fiction) and have a web site set up for my writing.

Photography

I also do some photography. I have done some studio-like work as well as location work. Recently, some of my work ended up in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. (Both print and online editions.) You can also see more of my photography in my music blogs. Here's one example:

About Double-Edged Publishing

Over the last two years, most of my time has gone into developing a non-profit corporation (IRS 501(c)(3) designated) to promote Christian-grounded fiction. Double Edged Publishing, Inc. has the goal of producing the best in the written word, and toward that goal, it is currently publishing four magazines with the help of a lot of great volunteers. Here are the links:

Brief Writing Bio

Bill Snodgrass began writing during his high school days. In the winter of 2003, however, he embarked on the journey of becoming a published fiction author. Bill writes fantasy, science fiction, and other fiction, all grounded in Christian values and appropriate for readers of all ages.

Bill's works are exciting and fun to read. Frequently, his plots twist unexpectedly, and often his works are sprinkled with a touch of humor. Some readers find substantive themes woven into the stories as well.

Greetings, Bill! It's so much fun to say that! Wanted to wish you continued success!

Hello my friend;

Please visit this web page and read their testimony, 26 days ago I left you a comment, that if you could help in anyway, we would greatly appreciate it. We are down to the wire and have 2 weeks now until they have no more home, if you can find it in your heart to donate anything, it would be a BIG help to Angie and her 4 children.

Daily Bread site I created for this Outreach for this family, in this season of need.

One of my sayings to people is "Good Morning"
Is it a good morning. Well I am saved and I am going to heaven - so
yes it is a good morning to me, but what about those who say good morning and are lost and/or backsliden - Do they really mean Good morning or should they just reply or say "morning"
"Good Morning" is an eye opener for me as a chance to witness to see
if they are saved or lost, going to heaven to hell
So I am saying to you is GOOD MORNING BILL

God Bless You

Hey, this is weird coincidence. I used to be on the Deep Magic forum, you probably don't remember me (El Alma Del Dragon). I just created a shoutlife page for our singing group and I stumbled upon you page. Well, I recognized your name when I was searching google for shoutlife themes. I haven't checked on the sword review for a while, how is that going?

Don't be a fence sitter!
Mass confusion, mob uproar - in Decision Valley! I call Heaven and Earth to witness against you today: I place before you Life and Death, Blessing and Curse. Choose life so that you and your children will live. Joel 3:14 Deuteronomy 30:19 The Message
I pray that every decision you make is a God-directed decision of Life, leading to His blessings for you.
Blessings,
Susan

He saved us from all that. It was all his doing; we had nothing to do with it. He gave us a good bath, and we came out of it new people, washed inside and out by the Holy Spirit. Titus 3:5 The Message
I pray that you see yourself cleansed - not by your own efforts, but by the grace of your Loving Abba Daddy.
Blessings,
Susan

Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength. Nehemiah 8:10 NKJ
I pray that no matter what you are facing, going through, or helping others through, your joy will remain strong, allowing God's strength to be mighty in you!

Susan

If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. John 7:37 NKJ
I pray that you drink deeply of the goodness of God, of His love for you, and of His truth that will set you free. Drink deeply and drink often.
Blessings,
Susan
