The intersection of faith and fantasy literature has long been a delicate balance to maintain, but author Sandy Solis has found an inspired approach with her Spirit Wings series. In a recent conversation on the Voices for VoicesⓇ podcast, Salas revealed the remarkable journey that led to her becoming a prophetic novelist with dreams that extend far beyond the written page.
Salas describes her creative awakening as a "Jehovah Sneaky" moment that redirected her artistic ambitions from music to literature. While cleaning up after a tornado devastated her family ranch in Oklahoma, she began writing what would become the first of seven (and counting) books in the Spirit Wings series. This divine redirection came after a moment of inspiration in church when she observed a young boy reading ghost stories and felt called to create high-quality Christian fantasy alternatives.
What makes Solis's approach particularly compelling is her commitment to tackling difficult themes like trauma and mental health through her storytelling. The protagonist of her series deals with significant trauma, providing readers with a character who demonstrates that recovery and victory are possible. As Salas explains, her books show that "if he can come out and have victory, you can too," making them valuable resources for young people struggling with their own challenges in an increasingly chaotic world.
Perhaps most striking about Salas's creative process is her description of partnership with the divine. Rather than meticulously planning each book's plot, she approaches writing in a linear fashion, allowing the story to unfold chapter by chapter. "I partner with the Godhead," she explains, describing moments of revelation where connections to elements from previous books suddenly become clear. This organic development has allowed her series to explore complex theological concepts, including eschatology, in ways that make them accessible and less intimidating to young readers.
The Spirit Wings series aims to compete directly with secular fantasy properties like Harry Potter but from an explicitly Christian worldview. Solis is deliberate about making her angelic characters and Kingdom of God elements more compelling than dark side counterparts, noting that most fantasy fiction tends to elaborate extensively on wizards and dark magic while neglecting the wonders of divine creation. Her approach offers young readers supernatural adventures without drawing them toward occult practices that Salas sees as potentially harmful.
Beyond books, Solis envisions a multimedia expansion of her Spirit Wings universe. Her background as a 3D computer artist informs her visualization of characters and settings, and she dreams of adapting each book into motion pictures, video games, and eventually even a theme park. Companion anime coloring books already exist for each novel, and the first audiobook is available with more forthcoming. This comprehensive vision reflects Salas's desire to provide Christian alternatives across various entertainment media that young people consume.
At 65, Salas approaches her work with the clarity of purpose that comes from decades of life experience. She encourages people of all ages to pursue their dreams wholeheartedly, wanting readers to have what she calls a "level 10 life" of satisfaction and fulfillment. As she puts it, "I want everybody to go for it" rather than reaching retirement age with regrets about paths not taken. This message of purposeful living permeates both her creative work and her personal philosophy.
For those interested in exploring the Spirit Wings series, the books are available on Amazon as paperbacks, hardbacks, and Kindle editions, with Book One also available through Audible. More information can be found at spiritwingsonline.com, which includes resources like a parent guide to help families determine age-appropriateness. With her combination of faith-based content, mental health awareness, and ambitious vision, Sandy Salas is demonstrating that Christian fantasy can be both spiritually enriching and wildly imaginative.
