why i'm here

I am creating a Christian sci-fi book and in the process of researching other Christian authors have discovered the need to spread the word about Christian fiction. I did not think there were as many people out there interested in C sci-fi because I hadn't really heard of it. Upon going to the Family bookstore and finding only a couple books which could be labled C sci-fi or fantasy, I realized that if someone were interested, just going to a Christian bookstore would not reveal how many good books are out there. I have read Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti, but they were not exactly the style of writing I desire to read. I recently found James Somers and LB Graham. The former writes C sci-fi, and the later C fantasy. I haven't read any of their books yet, but at least there are some writers out there in this genre that have published works! I can't wait to get a large chunk of homework done so I can read them. I am currently reading Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card. It is a classic sci-fi book (so I am told), so since a friend had it I borrowed it until I can afford to buy one of the Christian author's books.
