May Days

Coming in May:

 

Several book reviews.

 

A review of Mike Dellosso’s newest Darlington Woods. A guest post from Mike and a two-part interview with the author of three Christian suspense/horror novels (The Hunted; Scream) and one of the especially nice guys of Christian fiction.

 

I’ll be attending the Northwest Christian Writers Renewal for the third year in a row. That seems rather amazing to me for whatever reason. I’m looking forward to meeting the keynote speaker this year: the lovely Seatbelt Suspense and "Don’t forget to breathe . . ." Queen Brandilyn Collins. Too cool.

 

I know it’s a ways away. Hey, it’s Friday. What can I say?

 

Thank you, Jesus. I can say that. Repeatedly.

    I don’t know if you’ve heard Brandilyn speak before, Nicole, but if not, you’re in for a treat.
    Fun deal that you’re going to your conference three years running. They are great, I think.

    Haven’t had the pleasure, Becky. Am truly looking forward to it. This conference is inexpensive for me because it’s close. I’ve enjoyed each experience there.

    Looking forward to your interview with Mike Dellosso. But I thought you didn’t like that paranormal stuff, Nicole.

    Mike, here’s what I don’t prefer: vampires, werewolves, zombies, and the like. I usually don’t read scifi, but I enjoyed Austin Boyd’s Mars Hill series and Kirk Outerbridge’s Eternity Falls because the gospel theme was well placed. I don’t have the desire for “other worlds” and make believe creatures, so I don’t read or enjoy fantasy. (Although I loved the new Alice in Wonderland as opposed to barely tolerating the Lord of the Rings and Chronicles of Narnia films. Never read the books either.)
    I’m a firm believer in the dark side of humans and their demonic impetus at times. Demons are real. Supernatural “events” are included even in my romance novels.
    I’ve read all three of Mike’s novels and reviewed the first two here. His strong characterizations of wounded protagonists are good (somewhat like Davis Bunn’s but in different ways), and Mike isn’t “afraid” to make the spiritual parallels and get the gospel out.
    Hope that clarifies my “tastes”, Mike.
