From Tornado to Theme Park Dreams: How Prophetic Novelist Sandy Solis is Changing Culture | Episode 216MERCHANDISE SHOP: voices-for-voices.org/3QnokLUSUPPORT VOICES FOR VOICES®:https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop/p/supporterSandy Solis never anticipated becoming a novelist. With musical talents and dreams, she thought her creative path would lead toward rock stardom – until what she calls a "Jehovah Sneaky" moment redirected her entire journey. After witnessing a bright young boy reading ghost stories at church, she felt a divine calling to create quality Christian fantasy literature that could compete with mainstream offerings like Harry Potter.When a tornado devastated her Oklahoma ranch in 2006, Solis began writing her first novel amid the cleanup process. Seven books later, her Spirit Wings series has evolved into a mission to provide young readers with supernatural adventures grounded in biblical truth rather than occult practices. "Most other fiction has all these details about the wizard and his clothing," Solis explains, "but the kingdom of God is up at the forefront. We don't want people attracted to that dark side."What makes Solis's approach particularly powerful is her natural incorporation of mental health themes throughout her storytelling. Her protagonist deals with significant trauma, offering readers a roadmap for their own healing journeys. This wasn't a calculated decision but emerged organically from the character's circumstances. "It shows people if he can come out and have victory, you can too," she shares, noting that readers have reported spiritual breakthroughs while engaging with her books.With a background in 3D computer artistry, Solis brings visual precision to her writing process, creating detailed character drawings and maintaining extensive notebooks to track continuity across her expanding series. But her vision extends far beyond books – she dreams of adapting each novel into films, video games, anime, and eventually even a theme park. At 65, Solis approaches these ambitious goals with the clarity that comes from decades of life experience, encouraging listeners to reconnect with their childhood dreams. "When I wake up in the morning, I've got that purpose," she reflects. "I want everybody to have that level 10 life where they're satisfied and won't regret it when they're thinking about retirement."Ready to explore Christian fantasy that tackles both spiritual warfare and mental health?
