"The world changed after that terrible day when the sky burned, and now every heart is gripped by fear
Earthquakes, fire, disease, and floods pummel the earth, and its citizens watch in horror.
But in the darkness there is hope—an anonymous but powerful hero whom the public dubs "Guardian" emerges from the wreckage. He is Grant Borrows, one a chosen few who walk the earth with extraordinary powers. They travel the globe, helping those in deepest peril and determined to uncover the secret behind this world-shattering cataclysm.
But when signs of a dangerous ancient prophecy begin coming true, dark questions arise about secrets Grant might still be harboring.
The world teeters on the brink.But some refuse to let it fall.
They are:Fearless"

MANUSCRIPT REQUESTED BY PUBLISHER!

Hey guys, after only one week from the time my agent pitched the book proposal for The Chronicles of Soone: The Rise of Lucin, a publisher has requested the whole manuscript!!

This is very exciting news and my agent said it was the fastest response to a proposal he's gotten after a pitch at the International Christian Retailers Show! I certainly hope that means good things! BETHANY HOUSE is the publisher, so pray for me that all goes well and most of all that all will go according to God's will for me in this! Three other publishers are still looking at the proposal, so only the Lord knows what will happen.

Chronicles would be one of the few Sci-fi fantasy allegories I know of in the Christian Fiction realm...many are based around knights and dragons and themes like that, but COS is very STar WArs in style...so we'll see!

CHRONICLES: ROL UNDER REVIEW!

THE CHRONICLES OF SOONE: THE RISE OF LUCIN is currently under review by several Christian Publishers including: Multnomah, Bethany House, Tsaba House and Kregel. My agent Gregg Wooding just finished shopping it around at the recent International Christian Retailers Show in Atlanta and said all of the meetings for the book went well. Now it is just a matter of waiting to see what happens. But I trust the Lord Jesus Christ has all things under control and if it be HIS will for the book to be published by one of these publishers then it will surely be done. Of course this book cover is the former cover done by Breakneck Books who were set to publish the book until it came under Mr. Woodings representation--It's still a great cover though. Keep me in prayer - that the Lord's will be done in this. It would be a wonderful opportunity to see the series and those to follow get great exposure.

FINALLY GOT TO MEET WAYNE!

Well, I finally got to meet Christian Fantasy author, Wayne Thomas Batson, of the wonderful Door Within trilogy. Of course Wayne has been a great help to me, by reviewing my Chronicles of Soone novel and referring me to his agent, Gregg Wooding. Since that time, The Chronicles of Soone: The Rise of Lucin has been represented by Mr. Wooding and just recently shopped around at the International Christian Retailers Show in Atlanta to major Christian publishers. If not for Wayne, the book and series may not have gotten much of a chance. It can be hard to get a foot in the door in the publishing business. I found him to a terrific guy and he also introduced me to his cohorts on the Fantasy Four book tour, currently making its way around the southeast: Sharon Hinck, Christopher Hopper and Bryan Davis...all very friendly.

Stay tuned as we hope to hear good news about my agent's meetings with publishers regarding The Chronicles of Soone!
