M.R. Leonard of Pilgrims fame, Andrew Gillsmith of Our Lady of the Artilects, and myself are thrilled to share this roundtable with you. In this 1-hour-40-minute conversation, we dive into the heart of science fiction, exploring artificial intelligence, faith, and the independent publishing world. From debating whether AI could ever “pray,” to making religious-themed fiction that even atheists can enjoy, to unpacking why Star Trek might lean atheist, we wrestle with big questions about humanity’s future and how science fiction reflects our deepest dreams and fears. Join us for a discussion that’s as open to everyone!

Lightning Hunter by Cathryn deVries - Free Short Story

Now she just wants to feel like she belongs again, and fixes on winning the title of ‘Lightning Hunter’ to do just that. But when she finds an orphaned hargryph in amongst the motherlode of lightning cap mushrooms, she must decide what’s most important to her–fitting in, or following her conscience.
Starring an endearing main character and filled with lush prose, Lightning Hunter is a heartwarming short story about navigating change. It will immerse you in a new and beautiful world, and give you hope in your own struggle to live authentically while still accepting those around you.
Paladin and Necromancer by Adrienne Miller - Sample with First Eight Chapters
Seven years ago, a Paladin married a Necromancer. It didn’t seem like a big deal back then, seeing as the world was ending.
For better or worse, humanity survived. The extraplanar enemy was repelled, and the rifts in the Multiverse were patched up.
In the ruins of the realm’s devastation, humanity recovered and rebuilt. Stuck in an uneasy marriage, Kassander and Silver couldn’t be less enthusiastic about the prospect.
Perhaps it’s for the best that a noble house is slaughtered in what looks like a wine-soaked demonic ritual. At least solving crimes gives Kass and Silver something to do.
Together, they uncover a conspiracy that threatens to tear apart the multiverse and its deities – and, most importantly, their already fragile marriage.
A dark fantasy mystery-romance.
