Some new highlights this month going on with my fiction loving/writing friends. First – my friend Deb Raney sent out her summer newsletter with the fun update that her husband, author and artist Ken Raney will be starting an online story beginning Monday, June 4th called The Forever Quest. It’s the tale about an adventurous boy, the friends he meets in the mysterious land of Forever, and their quest for an amazing suit of armor. Be sure to check it out!

And if you like kids’ stories, don’t forget about my online story Seeking Treasureland (click on the title in the top right hand corner of this page.)

We’ve also got a new Spotlight interview with award-winning author Tricia Goyer.

This month in Christian fiction there are five new releases for June 2007! I hope you’ll take a look and check out each author’s website. Get in some early summer reading. :)
