What is Christian speculative fiction?
Christian speculative is a growing genre, which has its roots from books like The Exorcist and the works of Frank Peretti. It is science fiction, fantasy or horror written with a Christian angle.
Nancy's first novel, Anticipating of the Penitent, has its focus in horror or spiritual warfare and is more in line with Ted Dekker’s The Priest’s Graveyard or William P. Young’s The Shack. It has Christian theology as a guiding factor in the plot, although those who aren't religious have greatly enjoyed it. Check out Nancy's Books to learn more.
In Nancy's words:
I'm a woman of few and many words, a pseudo-insomniac who loves to sleep in, whose favorite word in the English vocabulary is "vacation," and whose favorite thing to consider is what God is telling me right now, and this is my spot: a place to make connections, to let my "drive to write" be known, to share some of my most controversial beliefs, and to maybe pick up a few fans.
And no, I usually don't write such long, run-on sentences like the one above. Want proof? Go to my serial short story under the tabs "more" and "Nancy's Blog".
