David N. Alderman Stops By!

To start with, I am a writer. Not just of fiction, but of what I call edgy Christian speculative fiction - in general terms, science fiction/fantasy/horror/supernatural fiction with Christian themes and edgy content, such as sexual themes, language, drug use, and violence. Under normal circumstances, one wouldn't have to mention the fact that they write 'edgy' content, but in this case I do because edgy content usually conflicts with Christian fiction. At least that's been the general consensus among readers of both secular and Christian fiction. I won't even get into the dispute regarding Christian fiction coexisting with science fiction/fantasy.

A good portion of my life is devoted to writing, and in that regard, to self-publishing. Self-publishing is perfect for those who want to take control of their books and get things done on their own timeline and in their own way. It's also perfect for those writing in genres that aren't very popular yet. No matter how hard it is to market a specific book or style of writing, you must stay true to yourself. Let the world know who and what you are, and they'll never forget you. It's when you try to be like everyone and everything else that you get lost in the crowd.

So now you know that I am a self-published author of edgy Christian speculative fiction. But that's not me entirely.
