This just in from Becky Miller:

Now that the World Cup is over and we’re at the mid-point of summer, what a perfect time to carve out some quiet moments to read! As part of the Clive Staples Award, we’ve designated July Read Christian Speculative Fiction Month. I’d love to have you help spread the word.

And speaking of the CSA, voting  for this readers’ choice award will begin in August. A number of the nominations are books CSFF has featured, and several are books by CSFF members. What an opportunity this gives us to draw attention to quality Christian speculative fiction.

Currently we’re posting introductions of the the nominations at the award site – http://clivestaplesaward.wordpress.com/ . Stop by and take a look, then tell others. Special point of emphasis: to be eligible to participate, voters must have read at least two of the nominations.

If you’re a fan of spec fic (or just want a good story to read!), I encourage you to check out the nominations, which Becky has laid out with lots of intriguing detail, and head for your local library or bookstore. There’s some great reading here, including several books that I’ve reviewed over the last year — Karen Hancock’s The Enclave, Jill Williamson’s By Darkness Hid, and George Bryan Polivka’s Blaggard’s Moon, among others.

(I already know which book I’ll be voting for — any guesses?)
