Cheryl Olson (girlsmama) | 694 comments So I have noticed that the Christy awards has titled their "Speculative" category as "Visionary." I liked that, so am titling this genre- visionary. this year. Ok, I know that "Speculative" is sort of a confusing genre because I feel like it is sort of an umbrella term enveloping fantasy, sci-fi, futuristic/Dystopian, etc. There are fewer Christian authors writing it, but there really are some good ones out there. I would encourage folks to list some of their favorites to help others to find those speculative authors. A lot of great authors fall under this umbrella- Ted Dekker, his daughter Rachelle Dekker ( they won a Christy this year for The Girl Behind the Red Rope- great read), Frank Peretti, and C.S. Lewis, Sara Ella, etc. There are so many more- feel free to share your favorite author. ( Also, Loraine mentioned last year that Biblical Fiction fits in this genre as well).


Here are the levels-

1-5 books- A whole new world

6-10- books- Fantastical stories

11-25- books- Beyond the stars

26-49 books- Travel to the Future

50+ Books- Let your imagination Soar

Ok, who's gonna give this one a try?

message 31: by Dana (new)

Dana McNeely (danamcneely) | 7 comments As a writer of Biblical Fiction, I agree with Cheryl's remark that Biblical belongs in the Visionary category (as well as in Historical Fiction.) So I have read several this year - reread my own "Rain", Tessa Afshar's "Jewel of the Nile", K.D. Holmberg's "The Egyptian Princess", reread Mesu Andrews' "Isaiah's Daughter". Now I'll see if I can figure out how to post the covers like you Tech Wizards! So Cool!

When you find yours, click add. It has been recommended that you add it twice: once for link and once for cover. Have fun!
