My Writing

May 11, 2024

Hello Everyone,

I love to read and I love to write. Blame my parents. Both were avid readers. My interests gravitate more towards those of my father. He was a freelance writer and wrote both fiction and non-fiction. Like him, I write both. 

I've made LOTS of notes and written partial drafts of various stories over the years, but (as of May 2024), I've only self-published one short story. I have self-published a few short non-fiction books over the years. Topics ranged from Christian devotionals to public speaking to history. They've since been taken down, but I'm working on revising them so they can be re-published in the future.

My vocation (I'm a pastor) makes it tough to carve out the time to write regularly, but I take what little time I can here and there. I plan to increase my writing output in the months and years ahead. 

I'm a big fan of science fiction, fantasy, action, adventure, historical fiction, and inspirational fiction. My self-published short story, The Campfire, is in the latter category.  

I will keep you updated on my sci-fi and fantasy genre progress with this blog.

Thank you.

-Brian Tubbs

Do You Enjoy Christian Fantasy and Science Fiction? If so, You've Come to the Right Place

Hello Everyone! Are you a Christian? And do you love fantasy and science fiction? Do you wonder why so many Christians have hang-ups about fantasy movies, science fiction and fantasy literature, and role-playing games? If you love Jesus and, at the same time, find yourself enjoying fantasy and science fiction, then.... You're in the right place! My name is Brian Tubbs. I'm a huge fan of fantasy (including Christian fantasy), science fiction, and historical fiction. And I'm currently working on a few fiction projects in the Christian fantasy and gamelit genres. In the meantime... This blog will include reviews of books (and occasionally movies and TV programs) in the science fiction and fantasy genres - with a special focus on Christian fantasy. I recommend you read " Is it Wrong to Read Fantasy Literature? " for my personal take on the issue of Christians and fantasy entertainment as well as my interview with Christian fantasy author James Somers .

Christianity and Fantasy: Is it Wrong to Read Fantasy Literature?

Image
I have a confession: I’m a Christian, and I love fantasy and science fiction.  There, I’m out of the closet. So, let me say it plain: I love reading about dragons, monsters, wizards, Jedi, sword fights, epic battles, and more. That’s right. I’m a Bible-believing Christian (and a pastor, no less), and I love reading (and watching) science fiction and fantasy. Some Christians will not approve of this, and they will see me as caving in to "worldly entertainment" and/or being seduced by "worldly pleasures" bolstered by paranormal influences. Since I take my faith seriously and genuinely respect many of those who will likely feel this way, I want to take some time to politely address their objections. Since not all of my readers share my Christian faith, I feel I must offer an aside here (as I have in a few of my other blog posts). If you don’t believe in God or the Bible, you’re going to find this article ludicrous. This is written for my fellow Christian reader

I'm Writing a Fantasy Book: Not an April Fool's Joke

Image
In 2019, I will self-publish my first novel -- specifically, a fantasy novel. The tentative title is  Dragon Hunter  and the cover (designed by an artist I worked with at Fiverr.com) is pictured. No, this is not an April Fool's joke. I'm posting this news today because it's a Monday - and I have the time to do it. Monday is my day off. So, this isn't fake news. It's real. I'm writing a fantasy book and plan to self-publish it on Amazon Kindle this year. And I'd like your help. My Lifelong Desire to Write The first story I remember writing was about my cat Pepper. I was in the 5th grade. It was for a homework assignment and we had to read the story in front of the class. I remember very little about the story itself, except that the kids in my class were howling with laughter (in a good way). I was hooked. My love for stories had been kindled by movies, TV shows, comic books -- and my Dad who wrote fiction (as well as non-fiction) and my paternal gr
