I’m so pleased to present a guest blog by Keith R.A. DeCandido, whose brand new story collection RAGNAROK AND ROLL has just been released by Plus One Press. Here he talks about the setting and how inspirational it can be. The first time I went to Key West, I was overcome by the magic.

Men of Urban Fantasy – James A. Burton
I’m very pleased to continue the Men of Urban Fantasy theme with author James A. Burton. His novels are incredibly character driven, with lush language and, as he discusses, more than your typical heroes and heroines. Heroes? by James A. Burton (aka James A. Hetley) Lucienne suggested that I write something about non-traditional heroes andContinue reading “Men of Urban Fantasy – James A. Burton”
