Robin Hardy
The first three below constitute The Annals of Lystra, with the following three being The Latter Annals of Lystra.
Sharon Hinck
Sharon has published some fun (and a little speculative) chick-lit fiction with Bethany House. But her first love is Christian fantasy. With no contracts and only the love of her stories burning in her, she wrote the entire manuscripts for her Restorer trilogy.
Caprice Hokstad
Caprice's fantasy novel is one of the many fine POD (print-on-demand) titles I'm proud to promote.
Christopher Hopper
Christopher was one of the Fantasy Four authors that made their book tour in summer 2007. These novels comprise his White Lion Chronicles.
L. A. Kelly
L. A. "Leisha" Kelly is the author of some Depression-era historical fiction, but this series is inspirational fantasy.
Russell Kirkpatrick
Russell is an an interesting guy. He's a professional mapmaker (which comes out in his world-building) and a New Zealander, to boot. This series, "The Fire of Heaven" trilogy, was originally released in Australia/NZ but has now come to the U.S. I've been told he's a Christian author and these are Christian novels. They look fun.
Stephen Lawhead
It would be easy to argue that Stephen Lawhead ought to be placed in the category of industry-shaping giants of Christian speculative fiction. His Pendragon series was among the first I discovered in Christian bookstores. Some of the images from Taliesin--the bull leaping, for instance--stick in my mind to this day.
Stephen has moved on to mostly secular publishing now, as this is where he's found a larger audience. But his origins are with us and he has still provided some of the most wonderful Christian fantasy of the modern era. His novel Byzantium, though technically a historical and not speculative, is still the finest Christian novel I've ever read.
Carole McDonnell
Carole's fantasy novel is one I looked at while acquisitions editor at Realms and NavPress. Excellent writing and bold vision, and by an African-American woman author, to boot!
This novel is being published by a secular publisher but it's Christian through and through. Check it out.
Maureen Doyle McQuerry
Maureen's YA fiction is fun because it takes its imagery and themes from fairy tales. Not the Disney kind, but the original Grimm's kind, or the kind from Celtic mythology, in which there really are monsters and in which singing princesses get quickly eaten.
The title of the first novel, for instance, comes from the story of the three little pigs.
Calvin Miller
Calvin Miller is best known for his Singer trilogy of poetry, which every Christian should read.
But he has also produced a fantasy trilogy called The Singreale Chronicles. Though mainly for a youth audience it is still an interesting read for adults.
And he is coming out with a new series from B&H: The Kinta Chronicles.
Kathleen Morgan
Kathleen is the author of the Guardians of Gadiel fantasy series, the second of which is currently in publishing limbo.
R. K. Mortensen
The Landon Snow novels are an exciting new series for young readers (ages 9Â12).
The awesome covers are done by none other than Kirk DouPonce of Dog-Eared Design, who designed the graphical look of WhereTheMapEnds.
David Murray
David is a talented illustrator and author.
Check out his Web page to see the awesome animated intro for the book.
This novel is targeted to young readers.
Jeffrey Overstreet
Miles Owens
It was my great pleasure to bring Miles to the reading public. I "discovered" his fantasy fiction while I was at Realms. Daughter of Prophecy became one of the four novels (and the only fantasy) that we launched Realms with. It was also my pleasure to be his editor.
I have, hanging on my wall in my home office, an oversize poster of the original Cliff Nielsen illustration we commissioned for Daughter of Prophecy. Miles remains one of my favorite Christian fantasy authors.
| Calling of the Halfhand [coming soon] |
Ronald G. Patterson
Ron's Ballad of Penumbria series is a historically rooted fantasy retelling of the story of the church from Christ's first advent and on through to the Millennial Kingdom.
Donita K. Paul
Donita's cover for DragonSpell was the first cover I'd ever seen that told me someone in the publishing industry might actually get Christian fantasy. Donita's books are for a youth audience.
George Bryan Polivka
The Trophy Chase Trilogy is new fantasy with a seafaring theme, from Harvest House.
Jonathan Rogers
Jonathan is another author writing youth/young adult Christian fantasy. This is his Wilderking series.
Jefferson Scott
Jefferson Scott is one of my best friends. In fact, I know him like a brother. More accurately, I know him as myself. Because he's me! Jefferson Scott is my pen name.
Since this is my Web page I get to tout my own writing occasionally. You'll see the name listed again later in the list. But if I could be known as anything as a Christian novelist, my goal would be to be known as an author of Christian fantasy.
My own epic fantasy trilogy--Fog, Fire, and Foe--is the book of my heart. You can read the prologue and first chapter here, though I'm rewriting and may throw some or all of that out. But it's a good taste of the world.
Gregory Spencer
These appear to be young adult fantasies. They are published by Howard Books, a Christian publisher.
G. P. Taylor
Graham is a Brit dark Christian fantasy. His first two novels co-released in the U.K. first and then in the US through Penguin/Putnam for secular publishing and Realms for the Christian market.
Randall Thorn
This is a Christian fantasy set in the Dark Ages.
Lars Walker
Michael D. Warden
Michael has created a fascinating world in which words themselves contain devastating magical powers.
| Wayfarer [not published] |
Linda Wichman
| Briar's Rose [coming soon] |
Thomas Williams
The Seven Kingdoms Chronicles is a fantasy series for young readers.
Note that The Bride of Stone is listed as being authored by T. M. Williams. That novel is actually a prequel to The Crown of Eden.
