What is a marcher lord? To summarize the article at marcherlordpress.com, a marcher lord was a knight who patrolled, defended, and sometimes even expanded the borders of a kingdom.
Jeff Gerke, Marcher Lord Press’s founder, is seeking modern marcher lords for the world of Christian publishing. These knights are the authors of works that lurk at the edge of what Christian publishers, and their primary demographic, are interested in. The stories would push the boundaries of speculative fiction while maintaining a Christian worldview.
Marcher Lord Press will be launching on October 1st with three brand new novels. One of the novels is the debut of a first-time author. Another is a standalone sequel; it shares the setting of a previously published book by the same author, but does not directly continue the story of that novel. Marcher Lord Press is running a launch contest that includes a trip to Comic-Con 2009 as grand prize.
The Christian Science Fiction and Fantasy (CSFF) blog tour is featuring Marcher Lord Press in its September 2008 tour (9/22-24). I plan to do a drive-by shooting of marcherlordpress.com and discuss the small press/POD publishing model. I hope you’ll join me. Be sure to check out the other stops on the tour as well:
