Email me at rluellam at yahoo dot com (or my other email address if you have it), to make your choice of books as prizes, and to get instructions to receive them.

So here’s the challenge.

Go to a local book store, Christian or ABA, chain or independent, and do one of three things:

1. Buy a book. This is especially a good thing to do, and since Christmas is just behind this two-month challenge, you might think who you know that would enjoy a Christian fantasy.

2. Talk to a clerk or manager about a specific Christian fantasy title, either asking if they’ve heard of it or why they don’t stock it, or commending them for having it on their shelves. You might even put in a plug, saying you hope they carry many more titles like it.

3. This one has several parts. Click over to Latest In Spec (or when the call for news goes out, email the information to me) and leave information on your Favorite Book Store—name and address. When the issue with your book store releases, print out the entire copy and take it to the book store to give to your store manager. It really does work.

Here’s how you become eligible for one of the various prizes several of our authors are donating. After you visit your book store, come back here to A Christian Worldview of Fiction and leave a comment with this information.

1. Who you talked to (clerk, manager)
2. When you visited the store.
3. What book you purchased, ordered, discussed. Or which issue of LIS you gave them.
4. What response you got.

That’s it.

You may enter as many times as you wish. The more the merrier, I always say!

Have fun.

Here’s a list of suggested titles (sorry, sci fi’ers. This really is a fantasy challenge).
