Where the dead breathe and the immortal die: the ultimate battle between angels and demons collide in this epic Christian fantasy.
I wanted to write a Christian fantasy novel about angels and demons because angels and demons are cool. Angels and demons are unique characters because they are supernatural and have powers humans do not. Christian fantasy is an excellent genre to incorporate angels and demons because Christian fantasy lovers are intrigued by angels and demons. They fight in the Christian fantasy world unseen, protecting mortals, and Christian fantasy fans love to read about them. Christian fantasy fans obsession with angels and demons should not be taken too literarily. Christian Fantasy fans should never try to contact angels and demons. No one should. Ever. Writing dross about angels and demons just for the sake of writing about angels and demons is rather pointless unless you have a very good reason to do so, as I do. Christian fantasy fans would be bored reading about angels and demons in this way. The art and craft of writing Christian fantasy should not be taken lightly, and when writing about them you may want to ensure you do not anger any angels and demons. Christian fantasy fans and Christian fantasy writers do not want angry angels and demons coming after them. That would not be very nice. Not very nice at all, precious. So always remember, when writing or reading Christian fantasy to keep the angels and demons in perspective, remember that any Christian fantasy world-building involving them is, after all, fiction. Angels and demons should be given the respect they deserve; after all, even Michael the archangel did not disrespect Satan when battling over the body of Moses. They are Christian fantasy lovers best friends.

The Story Behind the Story
Ex-goth turned apologist, JC left home at 17 due to her father (a pastor) who used scripture to "prove" that God couldn't look at her, let alone hear her prayers. Needless to say, she didn't bother reading the Bible, until one day she accidently discovered the God of love in the pages of the Old Testament. Hoping to reach others who had been turned off by Christianity, she spent 10 years researching and writing Prophecy of the Heir -- a suspenseful, action-packed, battle-ridden love story, which is how JC now views the Bible.
