Here's an idea!
Futuristic, sci-fi, anthropomorphic, Christian, post apocalyptic/tribulation, allegorical bodice rippers.
It's an untapped market.
(I hope)
Yeah, you're right. That's one untapped market ya got right there. ;-)
You forgot the *SPARKLY* Vampires.
(No Joke. Over at Lost Genre Guild, one Guildsman attended a Christian (TM) publishing seminar and they said the next Big Trend in Christian (TM) fiction was Christian (TM) Paranormal Romances.
