Buckle up! These chapters come with a minor content warning. These chapters contain some of the most open faith-based fiction I have ever written, so if you're worldview is not the same, please prepare yourself. And if your faith worldview is similar to mine, please take a breath, and consider this is a fictional world. It's hard to juggle faith in a fictional setting, especially a fantasy fictional setting, so note that I tried to stick to basic truths about faith in a way that's true to the

Fiction Friday Episode - Champion in the Darkness,...

The Truth About Storytelling ·

2024/04/26

Welcome to Fiction Friday again. Today, I will be reading Chapter 2 from Champion in the Darkness, a Christian Fantasy novel I wrote long ago. I wrote the first draft of this book in 2009, wrote the second draft in 2011 with NaNoWriMo, and I wrote a total of seven drafts before it came out in 2013/2014. I ended up having to revise it again in 2014, but I still stand by the story itself. It’s a decent read, and it’s story-worthy. I’m not saying everyone will like it, but I hope you do.
