Firestorm of Dragons (2008)
The first DragonEye, PI story included!

So you want to know about dragons? Run the gamut of stories about the mythological beasts in a "Firestorm of Dragons." Humorous tales of extreme sports with genetically engineered animals and pesky door-to-door salesmen with scales exist beside conventional stories of treasure and deceit, hunter and hunted, hatred and sacrifice. See how dragons exist today without most humans noticing or abandon all preconceived notions and imagine a dragon as a 1940's-style detective. Let your experience with dragons end with a trio of stories depicting possible ends to dragonkind - one uplifting, one poignant, and one heart-wrenching in its melancholy.

Leaps of Faith (2008)
Christian Sci-Fi. Finalist of 2002 EPPIE award for best anthology.

Believe in a future where science and faith live side-by-side? Leaps of Faith contains 15 stories exploring space, time and faith. Can an ancient religion bring hope to first-line explorers for whom each trip is potential suicide? What does it mean when a physicist finds God's face in the stars? Is there a "saint gene" and can it be reproduced to create miracles? What happens to your soul when your body is shattered into quantum elements and reassembled on another world? How will the Christian faith transform alien thoughts and traditions?

Read as time travelers seeking to change Biblical history and space travelers harvesting "angels" are brought to faith by their encounters. Experience tender romance and heart-pounding adventure. Laugh at the foibles of man.

Infinite Space, Infinite God (2006)
A 2007 EPIC Award Winner for Best Sci-Fi!

Interstellar exploration. Genetic engineering. Time travel. Alien abduction. The Vatican.
Explore the possibilities with Infinite Space, Infinite God, an anthology of fifteen stories about the future Catholic Church. Experience the Church's struggle to evangelize aliens and lost human colonies and to determine the soul-status for genetically modified humans, genetically-designed chimeras, and clones made from the Martian sand. Discover religious orders devoted to protecting interstellar travelers or inner-city priests. Experience technical advances that allow monks to live in solitude on the Moon and help one criminal learn the true meaning of Confession. Learn about the present and future advances that will affect Catholic doctrine in introductions by the editors.
Is there religion in your SF or SF in your religion? Either way you look at it, Infinite Space, Infinite God is fast-paced, absorbing fiction that makes you think. If you're tired of science fiction that ignores human faith or religious fiction where the technical elements are sacrificed for "the message," then ISIG is the book for you.

About Karina L. Fabian


Short form: I'm a mother of four who writes to keep her sanity. Of course, "keeping sane" means escaping into worlds where nuns run space search and rescue operations, where a psychic teen escapes the insane asylum and arrives on another planet, and where a cynical dragon private detective has to save the multiverse--again. Want to come play in my worlds? Welcome to Fantasy Island, Fabian-style.

re-evaluating my blogs   4/16/2009 - 10:35 AM
I've been thinking a lot about my blogs lately. I figure I spend 4-6 hours a week on them--writing, posting, cross-posting--but I don't get a lot of commentary or hits. I also don't feel like I add a lot of unique or useful information to the reader... (login or sign up to read more)

Interview with a Content Editor   4/13/2009 - 9:28 AM
Great books are often the result of more than just the writer's efforts. I was very impressed with the thorough editing job done on Magic, Mensa and Mayhem by the editors at Swimming Kangaroo. The book went through a couple of edits--one for content ... (login or sign up to read more)

Karina,

Sounds like fun stuff! Right now, I have a manuscript out making the rounds, but life stuff has prevented me from getting much writing time in recently. I'm planning to start a new manuscript soon, though...and really looking forward to it. :)

Blessings,
Sarah
