In this fascinating episode of The Christian Romance Podcast, we dive into the mind of sci-fi and fantasy romance author Karina Fabian. Karina shares the wild and wonderful inspiration behind her series The Madness of Canaan, where worldbuilding takes on a whole new level—because the planet itself is a character with its own desires. We talk about her unique writing journey, her deep-rooted faith that launched her storytelling ministry, and the power of healing through fictional love stories. From military life and psychic heroes to sweet contemporary side-romances, Karina blends speculative storytelling with real-life spiritual truths. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when an alien oracle falls in love with a man from Earth… this is your episode!

Bible Verse for Encouragement
Psalm 32:8 (NKJV)
“I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye.”
“Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.”
Karina’s Book: Madness Bound (Madness of Canaan Series)
Deryl isn’t crazy. He’s psychic. The voices in his head need him to save their worlds.
It’s not fun to be psychic when you can’t control your abilities. Unrestrained telepathy and the fear of using his telekenisis to hurt others drove Deryl insane. He’s found some relief in the high-society asylum, but how can he heal when the only person who believes in his powers wants to study him like a lab rat and a mysterious…something…draws him from consciousness to demand information on everything from architecture to medicine?
Then Joshua Lawson, a student of Neurolinguistic Programming, interns for the summer. He plays along, offering Deryl ideas to control his abilities. When they work, Deryl’s life makes a turn—but is it for the better?
He discovers that the voices in his head are real–aliens on either side of an interstellar war, and each thinks that Deryl is the key to their victory.
