Stay with me on this one.Â
Robert Bruce caught me in a revealing misread of his latest poem at Knife Gun Pen: Everything Will Conspire to Stop You. My misread says more about me than Robert’s poem, I think. A poetry criticism Freudian slip of sorts.

It’s Randy Ingermanson, and he’s the featured author this month for the Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy blog tour. Specifically, the tour is focusing on his book Double Vision.
You can find more great links to this book by going to Bethany House directly. For now, I’m going to tease readers with his great first sentence:
Keryn Wills was in the shower when she figured out how to kill Josh Trenton.

Are books becoming obsolete? It sounds like a stupid question to ask Michael Hyatt (or IVP or Nav or any other press in the CBA), but I’m beginning to wonder.
Consider my six-year-old daughter.

I’ll catch up the comments later tonight. I appreciate everyone who has commented recently—and I’m especially excited to hear from Jeffrey Carver on the question of “Is Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy Redundant?” If you drop by his blog, Pushing a Snake Up a Hill, tell him I said, “Hi!”
Now, I need to spend a few days cocooning with a manuscript that needs some intense edits.
And—POOF—he was gone.

I wasn’t going to post until later today, but Liz Strauss called me an SOB on Saturday. She included my logo and everything. Just call me Sally Fields and tickle me pink.

Why should bloggers go to SOBcon07 on May 11? It’s simple.
Because I can’t go and I want to live vicariously through you.

Because that’s the purpose of a blog right? Just because we aren’t blogging for money, doesn’t mean the blogosphere doesn’t have its own economy with its own currency. Of course, it does.
You’re saying to yourself, “The economics of blogging? Yawn.”
But listen. This is really important. Economics is just the science of explaining how people get what they want.

Earlier this week, I sent people to Wayne Batson’s promotional video for his fantasy trilogy, The Door Within.
Today my friend Al Hsu, directed me to . . .
Dave Zimmerman’s promotional video for Comic Book Character.

The blog tour is over. I know some of you readers tolerate these times when I indulge here. I just love fantasy and science fiction. In fact, to celebrate, I’m starting to read my new issue of Fantasy and Science Fiction tonight. (You can read six AWESOME stories for free online, right now.) One thing I think every aspiring CSFF writer should do is read good fantasy and science fiction. That magazine is a good place to start.
Tina Kulesa summed it up best. She wrote, “As a whole we don’t want to be preached at and we don’t want lip service paid to our favorite genre. We want the best. And Wayne Thomas Batson shows us that it’s all possible.”
I was also encouraged by Wayne’s admission that this first set of books was a thirteen year project. Whew! I thought I was slow here in year six or seven, but I’m not slow. I’m just impatient.
Thanks, Wayne for being the kind of person you are. And thanks to everyone on the tour:
