Novel Crossing, a website devoted to Christian novelists (just found it!)

I just came across Novel Crossing.  Very interesting. 

They placed Trident's Flame among their novels and even gave me an author site:

Here is the write-up about Novel Crossing on their About page:


Let’s say you are an avid fan of crafting with felt fabric (guys, if felt fabric isn't your thing, and we assume it's probably not, than replace this analogy with the analogy of your preference). You love the diversity of felt, how it can be transformed into anything from a hair doodad to a Christmas ornament. You are ready to start your next felting project, and you learn that a large hotel is hosting a crafting convention, CraftCon 2012. You know that felt crafts will be a part of this gathering—but you aren’t sure where in the Sherahyiott Hotel to find your beloved art form. You spend hours popping in and out of rooms, coming across needlework, knitting, chainsaw art, and origami.

You even encounter several rooms where fabric arts are featured, but your beloved felt plays a small role. The Sherahyiott employees are good intentioned, but host big conventions like this every week and are unable to help you find what you are looking for. Finally, you come across the felt crafts room at CraftCon, but it somehow seems lacking and thin, a poor imitation of the art you embrace. Where is your community?

Now imagine that you love Christian fiction, the beloved “felt” in this story. And CraftCon is the Internet, an all-powerful tool that carries a number of shallow buckets but doesn’t always offer the well of depth and engagement we fanatics are searching for. This is why Novel Crossing, the Intersection of Fiction and Faith, was built.

Publisher websites are excellent for featuring their titles and authors. Book retailers have good, up-to-date, thorough book data and include reader reviews. Christian Fiction Online Magazine, Family Fiction, Title Trakk and others have features and interviews of favorite authors. Shelfari and Goodreads offer reader community options but cover all books and all genres. So where can an avid reader of Christian fiction go to find all that, across all publishers, at one Website? That’s Novel Crossing’s goal. Put yourself into any of the following scenarios and see what Novel Crossing has for you:

• Want to find your favorite Christian fiction author?

 Currently 800+ novelists can be found on the Website, including favorites Francine Rivers, Karen Kingsbury, Jerry Jenkins, Ted Dekker, and hundreds of others. More are being added each day. By visiting your Novel Crossing author pages, you will find bios, photographs, and links to their presence in the digital world, including Websites, Facebook, and Twitter options. Authors are able to customize their own pages as well, giving them ability to leave messages for readers, upload videos or new photos.

• Looking for a particular novel? Around 4,000 individual book listings are available to browse on Novel Crossing, including titles both new and old, their authors, and their descriptions. These books are published by Christian publishing companies, and we exercise caution when adding self-published books so that the Novel Crossing catalog will remain a trusted source of faith-based fiction.
• Don’t have a particular book in mind? All titles are categorized into genres, and featured titles can be found in those categories as well as through book searches. Looking for romantic suspense that isn’t thriller-heavy? Come take a look!
• Looking for Christian fiction news and entertainment? Check out any of our featured book reviews, unique-to-Novel Crossing author interviews, devotionals from favorite authors, features introducing readers to new books, by genre or topic, book club and librarian-specific elements.
• Want to create of bookshelf of your favorite authors or get a recommendation for a next fantastic read? Novel Crossing allows community members the opportunity to build “Read,” “Reading,” and “To Read” virtual bookshelves, and offers suggestions of similar books on the book item pages. As you add books to your shelf, review books, and comment on features, Novel Crossing is better able to connect you with authors and books you may love.
• Looking for the latest in book trailers or author interview videos? Novel Crossing features new videos weekly, drawing widely from the book trailers and author videos that help connect a reader to a beloved author or series.
• Hoping to purchase a new novel? Novel Crossing is not a retail site, but on any of the book pages there is a Buy Now link that will take you to a variety of retail options.
• Can I write for Novel Crossing? Check out our writer's guidelines, where writers and reviewers can learn more about contributing to the Website.

We may not be as colorful as avid felt crafters, but those who love Christian fiction are passionate about books and authors that find ways of combining story with the message of the gospel. Novel Crossing hopes to give that community of fans a place to gather, encounter others with similar passion, explore fantastic books and authors with tremendous servant hearts, and much more.
