Worldbuilding Wednesday #59: Disability in Mystery Town
Meyari writing about one of her characters who is hard of hearing, and how this relates to her own experience. It changes the narrative because of the character’s different response to certain situations. Read on…
Welcome back to Worldbuilding Wednesday! This time I figured that I’d talk about my heroine for Second Chances, Kimberly Hale. I think she’s a neat character and well, she has a lot more in common with me than most of my other characters do.

Lou Morgan interviewed
Alchemy Press interviews Lou Morgan, one of the contributors to their forthcoming anthology of fantasy, horror and sf short stories, Urban Mythic 2.
Tell us a little about yourself and your writing.
I’m a novelist and short story writer, and I bounce infuriatingly between any kind of genre that takes my fancy. So far, that’s urban fantasy and horror for both adult and teen readers, because at the end of the day, I just like telling stories.
My first novel, Blood and Feathers, was an urban fantasy involving hellmouths and sarcastic angels with drinking problems, handguns and secrets, and which was nominated for British Fantasy Awards in both the best newcomer and best fantasy novel categories. The sequel, Blood and Feathers: Rebellion, picks up the story, and has also been nominated in the best fantasy novel category for this year’s BFAs.

The Grimbold Books Kickstarter – What It Means and Why it Matters
I’m reblogging this from Grimbold Books – and hoping to add my contribution to the Kickstarter! I’ve only funded (contributed to!) one Kickstarter so far, from Morbid Anatomy, and it was great fun. So come all ye fantasy readers and other bods…
The deployment of Professor Farnsworth is to celebrate the fact that the Grimbold Kickstarter is over 50% funded with 32 days to go – thank you to everyone who has generously made pledges so far, you’re all awesome. If you haven’t been able to support us yet, well that’s fine too, but if you can find it in your heart to spare a quid or two that would be lovely. Every pound brings us closer to the total and it really does make a difference.

Why it matters.
Aside from the fact that if you pledge you get fabulous rewards, you mean? And you do – pledging as little as a fiver will get you TWO free ebooks from the Grimbold back catalogue, many of which have been reviewed on this here blog, so I can testify to their goodness. The goodies only get better as you scroll down…
