This morning I asked the question, “What makes my book stand out from others in its genre?” It took quite some thinking to come up with a reason why people should buy my Soul’s Warfare sci-fi books more than others in the YA sci-fi genre written by equally—at least!—competent authors. 

Like other YA and adult novels, my stories are fun to read. Reasonably well-written. Recently, I listened to the Audible version of The Horned Edge. I liked it. Last night I listened to the Audible version of The Cave Chamber. At some parts in the books, I shook my head at the mistakes of a novice author. At other parts I glowed at my brilliance.

Overall, I was entertained. That’s good. But what makes my books outstanding?

I finally thought of some reasons why people should buy my books in particular more than other choices.

• The books’ science is real, and it advocates God’s creation rather than random evolution.
• I openly show my characters wrestling with Christianity and the concept of Jesus as Savior and Lord of the universe throughout their adventures.
• I proclaim a real hope both for right now and for our universe’s future.

So, in my marketing, I can emphasize these reasons to buy and read my books.
