“Having Fun With Epic Fantasy”: A Compleat List — & SU News
Having Fun With Epic Fantasy — Always!
On November 1, I refeatured The Band of Brothers, on the Supernatural Underground. (AKA “SU”)
Lagurtha & her “band of sisters” (Vikings)
It’s one of my first posts in the Having Fun With Epic Fantasy series, which I began on SF Signal and have continued here. (The bulk are done, but I suspect there are a few more posts extant, hence the “continuing” verb tense. 😀 )
Because I like to think (ha! 😉 ) that it’s a fun series, I’m posting a compleat list of (links to) the posts-to-date, to better enable visiting and revisiting “as you wish.” (Channeling my inner The Princess Bride there…)
What Makes A Hero? #9 — & a Supernatural Underground Giveaway
Just before I leap into my listicle tho’, just a headsup that I’ll be posting #9 in the What Makes A Hero? series on the SU on November 15.
Heroes and sidekicks
It’s a bit later than originally intended, but my SU confrère, AK Wilder, is featuring a giveaway for Curse of Shadows her second AMASSIA novel — and if you haven’t checked it out already, the deets are all in the post:

Wow, eighteen posts all up: that’s quite a series even if I do say it m’ownself. 😀 Plus there are the related posts as well, like “A Quintessential Female Lovable Rogue.”
I do hope one or three folk ‘oot thar’ enjoy reading ’em even half as much as I enjoyed the writing thereof — because that’s the thing about epic fantasy imho: it’s just a whole lot of fun!
The epic journey goes ever on…
