Summer Reading Challenge: Ted Dekker's The Lost Books

For July I have a Young Adult Series that will bend your mind. Ted Dekker's The Lost Books. The series began in 2008 with Book 1 Chosen.

n New York Times best-selling author Ted Dekker's latest novels--Chosen, Infidel, Renegade and Chaos--four young warriors from another reality are on a life or death quest to find the 7 Lost Books of History. Books with the power to create and destroy. Books that hold the destiny of not only their world, but ours as well.

Lunatic and Elyon are continuation of the series, although we once thought the series was over. Kaci Hill helps Dekker co-write the two novels, which is a great spin to the series.

If you want to get a fast fantasy for the young, old, romantic, dark...a good read period, check out the two new installments to The Lost Books series.

Join me and my special guest co-host USA Today Bestselling author/Movie Producer ReShonda Tate Billingsley(Simon & Schuster) chop it up with Booktour.com CEO & co-founder Kevin Smokler about this great site for authors and why The Devil is a Lie. (Marina is on vacation, but may pop in.) Kevin is our bro-host for tonight's show.

I have been using Booktour.com this year for several projects and know it will be a help to any author seeking affordable ways to promote their current title. Booktour.com is a free service and does a great job integrating reader, book store and author participation.

From my assessment if more authors, readers, bookstores, bookclubs, publishing houses, lit pubs like me use this service we will be able to have tighter and faster and stronger reader community. We can bring community spirit back to reading. Just as important we can bridge whatever autonomous divide that was created, whereby bookstores, publishing houses and authors aren't working symbiotically to sell books.

I hope you join us tonight.

You have four options to participate.

1. You can call in using the number above.

A Good Blog (Almost Grown Up)

by Guest Blogger, Marina Woods

Memories, like the corners of my mind.

I remember when Christian fiction blog spot was a tot, then a toddler

and now standing on it’s own. Where did the days go? Lots of nurturing,

and sacrifices to make Christian fiction blog spot what it is today.

Dee Stewart is one of the most dedicated lovers of Christian fiction. I love to pop in to see what new author or novel she has discovered and shared. Christian fiction Blog inspires me to venture out and try authors I may not have otherwise heard about. Many of the books have strong spiritual themes and often make me think well after the last page. Because I can get so busy promoting, sometimes I miss out on really great stuff – DVD’s, CD’s, anthologizes – all the z’s. Tee hee. I truly appreciate discovering something outstanding upon every visit.

Entering kindergarten is the beginning of independence and all things new - new experiences, new discoveries and new friends. I know that Christian fiction blog will remain a cornerstone in the inspirational market for years to come. I’ll be there watching your prom night, of course.

Happy Birthday, Christian Fiction!! Here’s wishing you many, many more!
