What is the CSFF Blog Tour?

In short, it’s a conspiracy of professional liars to convince you, the reader, to buy our lies. That, however, isn’t as dubious as it sounds.

Sci-fi and fantasy is a wonderful genre, able to stretch our minds and spirits to a way that few genres do. However, as a Christians, we can have difficulty swallowing the secular works. So it’s natural to turn to the Christian market, right?

The problem is that finding CSFF (Christian science-fiction and fantasy) can be tricky. I personally didn’t even know such stuff even existed until about five years ago. So to help promote Christian sci-fi and fantasy, a group of bloggers who love those genres decided to talk about what’s out there three days a month. For example, this month features Karen Hancock and the final book in her Legends of the Guardian-King, Return of the Guardian-King. A great series, but I’ll be talking more about that in the next two days.

Of course, we bloggers hope to enjoy larger readerships, and the novelists among us hope it translates into more sales.

But what is in it for you? A few amusing interviews, some book giveaways, and lots of information on the CSFF on the market and whether it’s worth your money—all for free.

Now what can be better than free?

LOL!
Chawna, I love your description of the blog tour.

I was recently in a group where everyone introduced themselves with the kind of writing they do (newspaper journalism, nonfiction self-help, short-stories, memoir) and I said, "I'm completely fictional."

I MEANT my genre...not my existence. LOL! But I guess that wasn't much different than saying I'm a professional liar!

Hey, Chawna,

Great start to the tour. Thanks for jumping right in. I'm looking forward to what else you'll have to say.

Hi there-welcome to the tour. It's great to see what others are saying too.

I was told by someone very dear to me that they never read fiction because it's all lies.

That makes me a liar, too and loving it. Hmmmm...
