The Catholic Writers Conference Online provides Catholic writers with a prime opportunity to meet and share their faith with editors, publishers, and fellow writers from across the globe.

Life is good.

God is good.

Our garden brings no small measure of unadulterated joy.

Relevant Fiction Reviews: Dystopian Series

Relevant Fiction Reviews

I missed the boat on The Hunger Games and other popular dystopians, coming late to the party with mostly Christian-themed dystopian novels. Here are those that I’ve highly enjoyed!

I’ve listed my review for the first book in each respective series.

I Am Margaret Series by Corinna Turner

I Am MargaretI Am Margaret by Corinna Turner

This was my first foray into a dystopian world – one with a Catholic underground, a brave and reckless hero, and a strong and virtuous heroine. Well-drawn characters and enough tension and action to keep you turning pages long after you should have set the book down. I don’t believe my heart has ever thumped like that during a novel’s climax. Can’t wait for book two!
