Eh...I don't think Christian fiction will ever change. I remember being so into it and hoping one day it would make an impact, but I think its hopeless. It's just authors selling to authors, with the occasional odd duck for anything but the huge romance industrial complex.

The target member for the Christian church is a 30-40 year old housewife, not me.

D.M. Dutcher is 15% done with Wind and Shadow (Firebird Book 4)
Not good at the start. You need to have read the Firebird books to realize what is going on,and it's not a good sign at all to see connaturalization again given what happened in the first trilogy.

D.M. Dutcher is on page 600 of 934 of A Throne of Bones (Arts of Dark and Light, #1)
Still pretty good. Vox gets into the mindset of classical pagans well. Christianity though still isn't much a player in the book, since most of this is from the view of eductated pagan statesmen. It earns its edgy badge though.

It's a slow start but gets much better as it goes on. The christianity seems thin, but this is a massive book so maybe it will be developed further on later.

It's hard to read because of the absence of plot.

I just want to let you know I've posted samples of my book, and the one I'm currently working on at my blog.

Triune: Three as one is at http://dmdutcher.com/triune/ and Starlight Girl is at http://dmdutcher.com/2012/09/20/sampl...

Both have a couple chapters. I'd love thoughts and comments on them.

Oh God, this book is silly. I think I'm going to like it.

Why! Why you purr at me blue crab? Crabs can't purr!

D.M. Dutcher is on page 400 of 809 of Varney the Vampire; or, The Feast of Blood
Apparently the proper way to fight vampyres is to challenge them to duels. When a mob comes up to kill the vampire in the middle of the duel, our heroes hinder the mob because darned if they let him meet his end at an angry mob's hands.

Also, Varney insulting Admiral Bell every time he sees him is pure win. But god, this is one slog of a read. 70ish chapters!

"Nay Henry," whispered Mr. Marchdale, "It is scarcely civil to tell Sir Francis to his face that he resembles a vampyre."

NO U TELL HIM NAO.

And he does! With the vampire saying "well, unfortunate for me isn't it?" and leaving it hanging in the air.

What's fun about this book is how all the expected responses to vampires simply aren't there. In the right mood it can make for hilarious comedy.

You see a vampire draining a local girl dry. He is like 12 feet tall and escapes through the window. What do you do? SHOOT THE HELL OUT OF IT! :D

I mean seriously, these main characters take no crap from people. Their first thought after seeing Varney is get more guns and swords. They will chase his undead ass and shoot him from the window if they get a clear shot. Fun times.

Can you believe that once people thought homesickness was an actual illness, and nostalgia was something you hospitalized people for or they might die from it?

My new website is listed in my profile. Feel free to link your own blog or comment. It's still under construction, but I discuss things about writing at more length there.

D.M. Dutcher is on page 40 of 320 of Cheap: The High Cost of Discount Culture
Eclectic, but dry history of retail so far. It should be spun off into its own book.

The annotations are fascinating. You wouldn't expect them to be, but they add a lot rereading the series.
