Having Fun With Epic Fantasy — Always!<\/h2>\n

On November 1, I refeatured The Band of Brothers<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, on the Supernatural Underground<\/a>. (AKA “SU”)<\/p>\n

Lagurtha & her “band of sisters” (Vikings)<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s one of my first posts in the Having Fun With Epic Fantasy<\/strong> 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. \ud83d\ude00 )<\/p>\n

Because I like to think (ha! \ud83d\ude09 ) 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<\/em> there…)<\/p>\n

What Makes A Hero? #9 — & a Supernatural Underground Giveaway<\/h2>\n

Just before I leap into my listicle tho’, just a headsup that I’ll be posting #9 in the What Makes A Hero?<\/a> series on the SU on November 15.<\/p>\n

Heroes and sidekicks<\/p><\/div>\n

It’s a bit later than originally intended, but my SU confr\u00e8re, AK Wilder<\/a>, is featuring a giveaway for Curse of Shadows<\/em><\/strong><\/a> her second AMASSIA novel — and if you haven’t checked it out already, the deets are all in the post:<\/span><\/p>\n

Wow, eighteen posts all up: that’s quite a series even if I do say it m’ownself. \ud83d\ude00 Plus there are the related posts as well, like “A Quintessential Female Lovable Rogue.”<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
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!<\/p>\n
