We all love fantastical books. But how do fantastical books get made? Who takes all that raw material, polishes the edges, and turns the story into a shining jewel? We’ll explore this magical process, the making of fantastical novels, with Enclave Publishing creative director Jamie Foley.

Award-winning sci/fi-fantasy author Jamie Foley loves strategy games, gardening, and making lembas bread. She’s terrified of red wasps and uses them for lightsaber training. When not working as the Creative Director at Enclave Publishing, the typesetter for The Christian Writers Institute, or a suspicious monarch at Fayette Press, she’s probably drawing maps to Cair Paravel. Her husband is her manly astronaut preacher muse. They live between the Texas Hill Country and the family cattle ranch, where their hyperactive spawnling and wolfpack roam.

Chris Skaggs, founder and operator of Soma Games, helps us play video games for Christ’s glory while he takes us behind the scenes at his studio.
