Into the Darkness
“Charles Hack’s Into the Darkness summons a close-range science fiction story, focusing on the personal challenges of space warfare among alien cultures with a steady pace and serious tone.”
—Lorehaven on Feb 3, 2023

A Crown of Chains
“A Crown of Chains creatively retells a biblical tale to explore themes of providence, racism, faith, and fidelity.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 27, 2023

Lander’s Legacy
“Lander’s Legacy stacks modern thrills and complex characters on a foundation of biblical what-ifs.”
—Lorehaven on Jan 20, 2023

We just hosted our Lorehaven booth at the Teach Them Diligently conference in Texas. It was amazing. We had James R. Hannibal, author of Wolf Soldier and the showrunner of the Lightraiders game franchise. We had Jamie Foley, who writes books for Fayette Press as well as doing marketing for Enclave Publishing. And we had our cohosts doing multiple interviews with other homeschooling publishers, authors, and vendors. You’ll get to hear each of those conversations in this episode.

Even better, we’re readying to celebrate Resurrection Sunday, inviting back a previous Fantastical Truth guest to explore the wonders of Christ’s victory over death.
