But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Try It? (Episode 11)

by  

It’s Saturday and time for another episode of MLP’s Collaborative Story. Enjoy! A heavy, solemn presence lay over all like a thick fog. I see, but cannot see. I hear, but cannot hear. All I can do is stare at the small pile of grey ash. Cludge…was not Cludge. He had been something more. One of the ancient ones from the last Great Age. Tekla sobs as Barzillai helps her to her feet. He bends his face toward hers and whispers something. She sniffs and wipes her face. Her eyes come to full bore on me. “Why didn’t you do …

Interview with Morgan Busse

by  

Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Morgan Busse (*Originally posted May 2012) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction author Morgan Busse. While most authors begin their story with knowing they were destined to be a writer at an early age, such is not the case with Morgan. When she was young she wanted to be a Pegasus unicorn… She never managed to become that elusive magical creature. Instead, she grew up to be a wife and mother. She says that sometimes that experience is equally magical, and sometimes she wishes she had magic. (The “flick …

But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 7)

by  

Time for “Speculative Story Saturday” here at Marcher Lord Press! I have to admit, since it was my turn (Kerry) it was all I could do not to insert an alien, robot, or distressed spaceman into the mix. But I resisted! Here’s hoping I did an okay job, minus my typical crutches. ♦    ♦    ♦ The thief. They always forget the thief. The trees of Dank Wood surrounded us. The smell of earth and rot. The archer, Barzillai, my longtime friend and sojourner, was ten paces ahead. Leading. Scouting. His night-adapted eyes intently searching for whatever evil may befall us. The half-giant, half-something, …

Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! Please Welcome…Jeff Gerke (*Originally posted September 2008) What  a joy to have Christian novelist and speculative fiction pioneer Jeff Gerke as our interview guest at WhereTheMapEnds.com. Well, I can still say it’s a joy if I’m talking about myself, can’t I? If I have a positive self-image… 😉 At the last minute the interview guest I had lined up for this month was unable to get the interview to me in time. Instead of scrambling to find someone else quickly and then imposing on that person to drop everything and do the interview, …

But Who Would Be Dumb Enough To Even Try It? (Episode 6)

by  

It’s time for another installment of our fantasy talke for “Speculative Story Saturday.” And because it’s my turn (Jill) and I can’t seem to write fantasy without a map, I drew one. I left several of the Nine Ports unnamed in case other authors should choose to name one in their future episodes. If you see that I’ve forgotten something, leave a comment, and I’ll add whatever is needed to the map. Morning dew on the timothy and foxtail grasses soaked my boots and pant legs as Abelard and I walked toward the riverbank and a copse of birch and …

Interview with John Olson

by  

Time for another interview from www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…John Olson (*Originally posted February 2009) What a joy to have Christian speculative novelist John Olson as our interview guest this month at WhereTheMapEnds.com. When I asked John how he’d like to be introduced to you, he said, “I’d like to be introduced as the amazingly talented author of the best-selling Harry Potter series. But since I didn’t write any of those books, I guess I’ll have to settle for being introduced as that scientist guy who wrote Fossil Hunter and the ‘vampireless vampire’ novel everyone’s afraid to read.” The book he’s referring to …

Welcome to another interview brought to you by www.wherethemapends.com. Please Welcome…Adam Palmer (*Originally posted May 2011) This month our interview guest is Christian speculative fiction novelist Adam Palmer! This is what Adam has to say about himself: I’m just a guy who lucked into being able to write for a living. I love Jesus and I try to represent him well in everything I do. I’ve written a few books; some of them have sold well, some of them have not, all of them have been honest. That’s just Adam being humble, though. In actuality he is the author of …

Interview with Steve Rzasa

Hi and welcome to another speculative author interview from wherethemapends.com. Enjoy! (*Originally posted December 2009) Please Welcome…Steve Rzasa What a joy to have Christian speculative fiction novelist Steve Rzasa as our interview guest this month here at WhereTheMapEnds. You pronounce Rzasa as “rah-za,” which I learned much to my disappointment, as I’d been having fun saying ARR-Zassa. Alas. I encountered Steve through the acquisitions process at Marcher Lord Press. My volunteer readers kept coming back to me with notes like, “Jeff, you have to hurry up and read this book, Commissioned, by Steve Raz… Zra.. Rastafari—By this Steve guy.” The …
