Nothing Is As It Seems…

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

Just a little taste of What Christian Science Fiction (Chri-Fi) can be…. In HILL OF GREAT DARKNESS, you read about the discovery of an event horizon, a black hole, hidden in the middle of the United States of America. Blackie (as the anomaly was code-named) had sat silently for a thousand years buried underneath the largest earthen Indian mound in North America at the Cahokia Mounds Historical Site, just east of St. Louis, Missouri. Awakened by the use of an…..

Review: Shadow of Tunguska, by H.C. Beckerr Leave a reply Shadow of Tunguska, by H.C. Beckerr (Archway Publishing, 2017) Shadow of Tunguska is book 2, “The Final Chapters,” of the Hill of Great Darkness series, and because it’s closely linked to the events of book 1, Hill of Great Darkness, I believe they’re best read in order. The series is set on Earth, the moon, and in space, in the not-so-distant future. Ugandan scientist Simone Sytte finds herself in the…..

The Demise of a Television Icon

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

STAR TREK HAS DIED!!!  I am deeply saddened by the direction that Star Trek has gone. It is now nothing more than a voice for the homosexual agenda and a toilet bowl of offensive language. (Deep Sigh Here) Yes, Trekkies, the adventure has ended and Discovery is its death. But, oh, what a long strange trip it’s been! The day was, a captain of a star ship was held by a moral code and…the show did as well. IT.HAS.ENDED. Yes,…..

THE LIGHT IN THE FOREST by H.C.Beckerr

H. C. Beckerr Blog 2 0

Taylon had always liked to look out at the stars at night from the top of the castle where she lived. In fact, for as long as she could remember, the night time sky made her think about adventure in far away places. She would wonder how the night time sky would look like if she were on an island far away in the great southern sea. Would she see different constellations? Different worlds…different animals? Stars and comets and planets…..

TWISTING TRUTH AND HISTORY=TWISTORY

H. C. Beckerr Blog, Writing 0 0

One of my favorite tools to use in storytelling is to incorporate elements of truth or history into the story. That being said, have you ever noticed that a half-truth is more convincing than a blatant lie? Just take a look at some of the things Satan has said and done…he’s really good at twisting the truth into what he would like to have us believe. Now, from an entertainment standpoint, any fictitious story that has some basis in reality is much…..

WRITING WHAT WE LOVE

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

I have always loved to read, and I have always loved music. I have also, for as long as I can remember, been completely mesmerized by the stars in the night sky…often wondering if there were any other civilizations out there for mankind to meet one day. While many of my childhood fancies have turned to dust (one of them being the idea of other civilizations in the cosmos….um…we can talk about that another time), the dreams of writing and…..

Why do we write what we write & how we write it when we do write right     A recent blog post posed the challenge; Write a statement about the purpose of your book. I didn’t take long to respond with; Doing what I was told couldn’t be done. I like a challenge and I like science fiction. What I don’t like are stories that have to use vulgar language and sex to sell them. Don’t get me wrong,…..

THE ROOTS OF SCIENCE FICTION

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

When I first started on the HILL OF GREAT DARKNESS story line I had no idea where it was going to take me. Like many people before me, I just started to write. I did know, however, that I wanted to stay Biblically accurate and true to my faith. I remember when HOGD first hit the streets and I started telling everyone about it; “It is a Christian-based science fiction story” I would say. Their oft repeated reply was; “How…..

FOUNDATIONS OF FICTION: TWISTING HISTORY

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

For me, one of the easiest ways to hook a reader into the story is to use a touch of truth in the mix. History is replete with story fodder and just begs to be used. That was the way Mr. Dan Brown created an incredibly readable novel a few years back with The Da Vinci Code. He took historical realities and twisted them into a fictional account of the past and then brought it into the present. While I was…..

ADVENTURES IN WRITING, PART I; THE BAD REVIEW

H. C. Beckerr Blog 0 0

Awhile back, my first adventure into the publishing scene had its first bump……. Yeah, you guessed it……. I got a bad review of HILL OF GREAT DARKNESS. Now, I don’t know about you all, but; I am loving every minute of it. I know…I’m just a little to the upside of insane. Translated that means positively crazy! But, hey…after all………………….. Not only am I a writer……… I am also a musician, public speaker, Bible teacher, and a mover of mass…..
