\"Supelogo_2\"<\/a>Firstly, Saturday was 1 October and that means my monthly post on the Supernatural Underground<\/a>. This time I posted on a topic I’ve been giving some air time lately, that is, names in Fantasy literature.<\/p>\n

Only I gave it a twist and made it about fashion in names, which is\u00a0 a case of fiction following real life – yep, even when it comes to names. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The Big Idea Features the National Writers’ Forum<\/h3>\n

I’m a little late sharing this link with you, but Dione Joseph<\/a> reported on the recent National Writers’ Forum in The Big Idea<\/strong> — and I’m very pleased that she felt my masterclass on Building Fantastic Worlds was “utterly worth getting … out of bed [for] on a Sunday morning.” <\/em>To read her take on the Forum’s highlights, click on:<\/p>\n

A Guest Post Coming Up — Kristen Blount, Sirens, and “Queens and Courtesans” — An Anthology<\/h3>\n
\"Kristen<\/a>

Kristen Blount<\/p><\/div>\n

Sirens<\/a> is a Fantasy convention dedicated to “…the diverse, remarkable women of fantasy literature: readers, authors, scholars, librarians, educators, publishing professionals, and characters.”<\/em><\/p>\n

You have already met Kristen Blount<\/strong> because she contributed a guest post on “Raven: International Man Of Mystery<\/a>” just a short while back. So I’m very pleased to tell you that Kristen will be back on Thursday with another guest post, this time on a topic related to Queens and Courtesans<\/em><\/strong>, an anthology written and edited by women who have attended Sirens. All proceeds will also go to support the Sirens convention.<\/p>\n

So do check back in on Thursday for Kristen’s guest post — I’ll make sure there’s information on how to acquire your very own copy of Queens and Courtesans<\/em><\/strong> as well. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
