Golems & Bagels: I Have a Kickstarter!

I research a lot as a writer. Vampires. Golems. Sasquatch.

The thing I've researched the most? Bagels.

The publisher Crossed Genres launched "Hidden Youth," an anthology focusing on fantasy and disadvantaged youth. I was raring to go! I wanted to do something involving chimney sweeps base on the craziness in Dirty Old London.

Then . . . the bagel.

I found Maria Balinska's excellent book on bagels, grabbing it off a library shelf on a lark and found what I needed. Inside The Bagel: The Surprising History Of A Modest Bread, I found the plight of the downtrodden Polish street bagel vendor child.

But I'm K.T. Katzmann, so I added golems.

Bagels. Golems. A bagel golem? Maybe . . .

Pledge to the Kickstarter, because a good anthology is like a bagel: sometimes, you want one with a little of everything.
