edgier stuff?

For what it's worth, I think things are changing in the publishing world for Christians, allowing them to to be more "real" in their writing. Not through the usual channels perhaps, but more of an end-run by companies like Marcher Lord Press and Sheaf House Publishers.

While it's true SH is doing my apocalypse-with-a-twist novel Heading Home (which releases on August 2nd), it's being marketed to the 18-35 secular demographic as a paranormal thriller (which, in fact, it is).

To further expand, Sheaf House's edgier imprint, Narrow Road Press, is publishing the first of my new Mac Ryan suspense series, Relentless, as well as my stand-alone SF novel The Radiance, and aiming for the same market.

Bottom line, if Christians want to read them that's great, but I've finally come to grips with the truth that the CBA is not my audience.

Stay tuned.
