Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories

Happy January Reader!

I am in the midst of finalizing the book cover for the CrossFall series.

I love the work my designer has done and can’t wait to share it with you (within the next couple weeks!) But it’s nerve wracking as I am trying to perfect it.

As a post-apocalyptic story with fantasy elements, CrossFall: The Remnant Rises is an epic adventure series that has taken years to encapsulate into the first story. So the cover needs to reflect not only Book 1 but the feeling of both HOPE and DANGER. I think we’ve hit that goal!

I hope you’ll love the cover as much as I do.

Now that the new year of 2026 is here, I wanted to encourage you to join the community. Membership is free: Win a Trailblazer Membership (for you or a friend) and an awesome feather pen, ink, and scrolls just for checking out the community.

COMMUNITY PORTAL

The goal of the community is to share faith-building encouragement to one another in a safe, clean, and private community.

Another reason to join–we’ll be doing another Choose-Your-Adventure Mystery Story (like we did with Tim Reynolds, Detective: The Death of Noah Black) in our book club in the very near future. Only members of the community can participate.

I hope you have a fantastic week.

God bless you!

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Hi again Reader ! As promised, we are opening up Round 2 of the Theme Song for CrossFall: The Remnant Rises. This set is a bit different. I am trying for a little bit Hawaiian, a little bit like the Cranberries. I’d love to hear your thoughts. Remember, in the story, the mother is singing to her children in their mountain hideaway. We need a song that is basic enough that could be sung like that, but then that can be…

From the Desk of Darlene N. Böcek Faith-building Sci-fi Fantasy Stories Dear Reader, I hope this finds you well. A quick note today. Firstly– Thought to ponder– “Nearness to God is happiness.” Charles Spurgeon I love this quote. At church we have a new song (about the same thing) which we’ve been singing that I can’t get out of my head. My husband just translated it into Turkish from Russian. Surprisingly this song isn’t in English. Essentially, the lyrics are:Let the Whole Earth Proclaim…
