I went into my kdp account and replaced “Bible based book series” with “domestic, dark-fantasy novella series”. And yes with the Bible being a major part of all my books (I also have a 70-book series). I’m looking to go book to film and I’m liking your wording “dark retelling of the book of...

I just updated the Book info and categorized it as “domestic dark-fantasy”. Your thoughts?

I’m on it!

You are correct with recognizing my problem: I love God and I love the direction He has me taking these books but I absolutely hate the “Bible based dark fantasy” label and I actually despise the current state of the church…but the reality is my series is Bible based but doesn’t appeal to your...

I responded to what I thought you were saying and when another member pointed out what you meant it made more sense. I’m not familiar with the writing terms showing and telling in a writers world. I thought you just meant atorytelling. My bad. I now see I rambled quite a bit off topic and I’m...

Ahhhhh! I’ll have to share that gem with my editor! You see I’m not a polished writer or author. I’ve just been writing as God has inspired me to. It’s being open to advice from people in the know that will take an unfinished product to a readable piece of literary art. Man! I never thought...

Like I said I’m not sure how this will all play out but being able to have a 21st century story with a modern day family who has a mom who slips off into a meditative state when she is doing private Bible studies at night is a significant thing. Most Christian movies I’ve come across don’t want...

Here’s a “retelling and gap filling” from book two “Ziva and the Book of Samuel” that mentions God and king David directly (I broke the excerpt up to shorten it) that Christian’s hate and non Christian’s like and are drawn to (not necessarily for the God reference though..but drawn to...

Trust me. I’ve rewritten each Ziva book at least five times 😫 I’ve finished it then decided to go back and change the intro scene then go back and elaborate on the intro scene then replaced that intro for another intro scene altogether 😫😂 I’m finally at the point where I am comfortable with all...

Based on your response I’m definitely going to use you to review! You ask good questions. Honestly I don’t share much about my writing “style”. It’s hard to describe. As a person who believes in God and that He has a son named “Jesus” and there is the entity referred to as the Holy Spirit...

Not a Christian and you still found it interesting? That’s notable. You would fit the category of a person I would like as part of my “target audience” but you’d have to be a non-Christian into dark fantasy maybe. My wife wanted to see if somehow the main character, who has flashbacks that are...

I glanced at it on Amazon just now. VERY interesting read from the sample. I love how the author filled in the blanks and took the Liberty to be an actual Bible character and weave true facts into what could easily pass as an autobiography. Nice! When I talk to the lady who will be editing my...

Bet. I’ll check out the one (and only 😜) retelling of the Bible and let you know what I think.

You wouldn’t consider this an original fantasy? I took the Job story and kinda filled in what I thought happened at some of Jobs kids parties (Job recognized some shady activity routinely happened there). I don’t have the creativeness (or want it) to start my own from scratch I don’t think...

I’ll check scibophile out. Anymore come to mind shoot ‘em to me. I want to polish the series enough to Goto film 🤔
