Tired Of Christian Fiction For Youth? Author Michael Storm Is. His New Novel Raises Bar - Again

June 3, 2009 - PRLog -- Vicky Sheldon is no ordinary crime fighter. At 16 she is just like any other Christian teenage girl dealing with the daily issues of appearance, grades, boys, God’s will etc. But she has one thing that sets her apart from her piers. She is seriously zealous for the Word of God. The world needs it and she’s gonna deliver it. For the task she has created a secret persona. An alter ego called Biblegirl.

Biblegirl is a crime-fighting, sin-battling, unbelief-quenching, hard-hitting spiritual dynamo, filled with the Word of God and not afraid to use it. Whenever danger and crime rears its ugly head Vicky will don her alter ego – and her homemade superhero suit – and go into battle with the Word of God as her weapon. This world being what it is her mission is on-going. Up till now it’s amounted to nighttime raids on the city’s notice boards to put up scripture verses.

But soon a dark nemesis named Phearann Pannick makes an appearance. Electronics genius at best. Psychopathic killer at worst. The disturbed young man is bent on revenge for the suffering caused to his immigrant family by political decisions when he was a small boy. The trauma has filled him with insane hatred which has followed him, shaped him and now controls him. Biblegirl’s encounter with this deranged soul is a fiery one, to say the least.

Orphaned at a young age, Vicky Sheldon lives with her eccentric grandfather in a small apartment over his little corner bookstore in the older part of Stoker Bay. His business is not a success and they’re often short of money. But Humphrey Sheldon loves his granddaughter with all his heart and does his best. She is all he has.

Until his retirement Mr Sheldon was a military engineer in the Special Branches. That meant he worked in hidden laboratories and underground vaults with ‘classified asset development’.

As Vicky grows and her extra-curricular activities show no sign of slowing down, Humphrey is compelled to put some of his old skills to work and Biblegirl’s ministry gets a boost of some very imaginative high-tech. Which will prove to be a lifesaver in more ways than one.

BIBLEGIRL is Michael Storm’s first book about Vicky Sheldon and her growth to heroics. With an often comical touch the story shows that it is not easy being a Christian teenage girl moving towards womanhood in a secular world. A subject that seems to interest Storm. With two daughters of his own, he knows the road. But with the Word in your heart and with Grace, daily fresh, growth and wisdom will come and the inspirational point in BIBLEGIRL is, if Vicky Sheldon can do it, so can you.

Michael Storm’s BIBLEGIRL is not to be confused with the character of the same name appearing in the Bibleman video series for smaller children.

“Vicky Sheldon lives in a dark and adult world,” says Storm of his character and her universe. “Kind of a Gotham City grittiness going on, with criminal geniuses, murderous psychos, burned-out hookers and a good healthy dose of brutal death. Doesn’t all end happily either. But there’s hope.”
