Firestorm of Dragons (2008)
The first DragonEye, PI story included!
So you want to know about dragons? Run the gamut of stories about the mythological beasts in a "Firestorm of Dragons." Humorous tales of extreme sports with genetically engineered animals and pesky door-to-door salesmen with scales exist beside conventional stories of treasure and deceit, hunter and hunted, hatred and sacrifice. See how dragons exist today without most humans noticing or abandon all preconceived notions and imagine a dragon as a 1940's-style detective. Let your experience with dragons end with a trio of stories depicting possible ends to dragonkind - one uplifting, one poignant, and one heart-wrenching in its melancholy.
Leaps of Faith (2008)
Christian Sci-Fi. Finalist of 2002 EPPIE award for best anthology.
Believe in a future where science and faith live side-by-side? Leaps of Faith contains 15 stories exploring space, time and faith. Can an ancient religion bring hope to first-line explorers for whom each trip is potential suicide? What does it mean when a physicist finds God's face in the stars? Is there a "saint gene" and can it be reproduced to create miracles? What happens to your soul when your body is shattered into quantum elements and reassembled on another world? How will the Christian faith transform alien thoughts and traditions?
Read as time travelers seeking to change Biblical history and space travelers harvesting "angels" are brought to faith by their encounters. Experience tender romance and heart-pounding adventure. Laugh at the foibles of man.
Infinite Space, Infinite God (2006)
A 2007 EPIC Award Winner for Best Sci-Fi!
Interstellar exploration. Genetic engineering. Time travel. Alien abduction. The Vatican.
Explore the possibilities with Infinite Space, Infinite God, an anthology of fifteen stories about the future Catholic Church. Experience the Church's struggle to evangelize aliens and lost human colonies and to determine the soul-status for genetically modified humans, genetically-designed chimeras, and clones made from the Martian sand. Discover religious orders devoted to protecting interstellar travelers or inner-city priests. Experience technical advances that allow monks to live in solitude on the Moon and help one criminal learn the true meaning of Confession. Learn about the present and future advances that will affect Catholic doctrine in introductions by the editors.
Is there religion in your SF or SF in your religion? Either way you look at it, Infinite Space, Infinite God is fast-paced, absorbing fiction that makes you think. If you're tired of science fiction that ignores human faith or religious fiction where the technical elements are sacrificed for "the message," then ISIG is the book for you.
Short form: I'm a mother of four who writes to keep her sanity. Of course, "keeping sane" means escaping into worlds where nuns run space search and rescue operations, where a psychic teen escapes the insane asylum and arrives on another planet, and where a cynical dragon private detective has to save the multiverse--again. Want to come play in my worlds? Welcome to Fantasy Island, Fabian-style.

Rob found an article about atheist greeting cards. (Here's a site where you can see some.) Now you can celebrate all the crass commercialism of the holiday season without any of the uplifting spiritual message!
Rob didn't keep the link to the arti...

Tattoos and Good Taste
11/17/2008 - 8:52 AM
About twice a year, I hear from my godfather. "Hear" is a loose term; what I get is a copy of his tattoo directory. For 15 years now, he's made a business of publishing a catalog of tattoo parlors and piercing places across the US and the world. He o...

I got a message from a friend today. She sent it because she liked the pictures, but it hits two of my pet peeves.
It's a "Forward to your friends" message--and those who know me know how I feel about them. This one was worse than usual.
It pr...

A friend sent me this, but I hate those "forward to 200 of your closest friends" requests. However, it makes for good blog fodder, especially since I'm tired from the book tour and the damage control I had to do last week over a review.
1. Do you...

Christian Fiction & NOT Just Writing What You Know
11/06/2008 - 8:02 PM
I've had some interesting comments on Rob's and my latest anthology, Leaps of Faith. This is a collection of 14 stories of Christian science fiction. While I didn't fully itemize each faith represented, there are Anglican, Catholic and Christian stor...

Hey! There you are!! You're getting snow too, eh? It's yucky windy here today. Thanks for the hat loan...I *want* one!
Definitely, we'll have to make plans...It might actually be the same distance for us just to drive down to the base, b/c we live an hour west of Brandon. But there's more room for the kids to run at the park.
So another Frank Creed person shows up as I checking out all the interesting people here at ShoutLife... I've seen your work, will have to pick up a copy.
Have a wonderful weekend...
Blue Skies,
Steven
