Review of Mantle by Keven Newsome
Winter and I go way back. Keven mentioned the other day that Winter was entered in the Marcher Lord Select Premise Contest back in 2009. For those of you who weren’t around for that, this was an online contest where readers voted on which stories they wanted to see more of. When the contest got to […]
Expectations Exceeded
One of the first books I read when I started writing was Finding Angel by NAF alumna Kat Heckenbach. I fell in love with Toch Island. The descriptions are so vivid I felt like I was there. Something like Narnia for teens. Back in the day when I hated science fiction and fantasy, I would […]
An Extrovert Among Introverts – The Good, the Great, and the Never Again
At one point during Realm Makers, I sat with a fellow extrovert and we started counting. Of the 180 attendees, the count was 11 by the end of the conference, the count soared to 13.

He knew we’d be stronger together than we would be separately. It has been and continues to be […]

This blog was viewed about 53,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 20 sold-out performances for […]
Introducing: Brittany Valentine

Brittany Valentine is a member of American Christian Fiction Writers, and is also a Realm Makes attendee. So if you’re at the conference with us this weekend, please say hi! Are you in a local writers group? I’m a member […]
Introducing: Gretchen E K Engel
With Ralene departing for greener (but perhaps not geekier) pastures, we had an opening here at New Authors Fellowship. I had hoped that our new member, Gretchen E K Engel, would fill my shoes when I graduated, but since that’s not happening yet, I’m glad to bring her aboard now. I first met Gretchen through […]
