So you’ve got to give people a reason to believe that magic and supernatural things are real in your book, and you’ve got to get the details right about the city. With urban fantasy, one of the challenges is that you’re writing in the modern-day, in an existing city where real people actually live. So while I love epic fantasy, and will continue to write new epic fantasy novels and short stories, it was time to add something new to the mix.

I’m so happy to have Gail joining me today to talk about her new book and other tidbits about her life, so sit back, enjoy, and help me welcome Gail to the blog…ĭeadly Curiosities is your first foray into urban fantasy, after writing very successfully in the epic fantasy genre. Martin’s latest urban fantasy Deadly Curiosities, and had so much living in her “brought-to-spooky-life” city of Charleston, South Carolina ( you can read my review here).
