Sharing Old Articles

There used to be a web site called Suite 101 that covered many different topics for people. I wrote biweekly articles on the fantasy genre for a few years before they company went out of business. From time to time I'm going to post some of those older articles on this blog. I am working on new blog posts too. Coming soon.
