It’s my pleasure to announce this year’s Clive Staples Award finalists. Based on the reader’s survey, and listed in alphabetical order according to the author’s last name (with links to the CSA introductions), the top three books of Christian speculative fiction, published in 2013 by a royalty-paying house, are
* A Cast of Stones by Patrick W. Carr
* Truth Runner by Jerel Law
* Dragonwitch by Anne Elisabeth Stengl

Please tell me that even though you posted this on April Fool’s Day, that it is “for real” and not a joke . . .

Good — it will be hard for me to decide which one to vote for — but at least I don’t have to read them first!
Like them all for different reasons . ..

Raptor, this year a panel of judges will be selecting the winner from the three finalists. Here’s the announcement post that talked about this change — https://clivestaplesaward.wordpress.com/2014/02/17/2014-nominations-are-now-open/
I also plan to write a post in the near future about our judges.
