Jeff Gerke at Marcher Lord Press maintains that our youth are writing - and reading - fantasy. The way to communicate to them is through speculative fiction, although the mainstream Christian publishing houses don't always get that.
Hence, I appreciate Bryan Davis, who writes adventure and mind-bending fiction that appeals to the young reader. When they are bombarded by a culture eager to take them down divergent pathways, it is nice to place quality literature in their hands that does not cultivate corruption.
Check out Bryan Davis' latest adventure novel, Beyond the Reflection's End. You can see more info at Amazon and also at his website. Any fiction that communicates to young people is worth supporting.

Has your son read this book by Bryan Davis, Kathy? I'm curious what he thought of it! He's the target audience, after all. :)
Thank you for posting about my series.
I also have a son who has read Lord of the Rings many times. Fantasy is a powerful draw.

I love the fact that you brought in the YA market. The thing is, they grow up and don't really grow out of their love for fantasy. They just want stories that are fresh. And Christian fantasy has the much needed dimension of the spiritual. Perhaps the success of Bryan's books and others of like kind will be the tipping point.
