The Brassbright Chronicle
This yearly event in Second Life to benefit Relay for Life opened to the public today. You can visit anytime to explore the fantastic realms, or attend special events, through May 10, 2020.
Celebrating its twelfth year, Fantasy Faire 2020 is the largest gathering of fantasy designers, enthusiasts, role-players and performers in the virtual world.
Over on my personal website, A License To Quill, I’ve started sharing some tips for getting through the isolation and social distancing many of us are doing right now. Since today’s tip is about free books and stories (including my own) and other forms of free entertainment accessible from home, I thought I would share it here, too. If you return to the home page of my personal site, there’s a few more “Social Distancing 101” posts I wrote about making use of food we normally toss out (going to the grocery store can be daunting!) I’ll continue a daily post as long as we are in isolation.
I really wanted to complete the full set of audio books. Now I have, with the help of Todd King and his pleasant, child-friendly voice.
Here is a little poem by Willard R. Espy, who wrote wonderful wordplay books in the 70s and 80s.
A short story I wrote last year has been beautifully performed as an audio story for Fantasy Faire radio by the talented voices of MadamThespian Underhill and Caledonia Skytower.
This second novel in the Brassbright series has become more than just a book-to-be. Down the Tubes is my own personal writer's classroom.
Clever readers find many ways to express their appreciation of an author's work. Some of the more creative outlets include fan art, fan fiction and cosplay. Last night during a storytelling event in Second Life, I was delighted to learn that my books have an avid fan.
I recently set up a book shop on Book Island, a region in Second Life that celebrates books, readers, storytellers, authors - if it's literary, it's here. Come visit!
