Speaking of Karina, a few days ago she stopped by my Amazon Author Central page and translated my profile in to French, German, Spanish, Italian, Japanese. My author page is now seen all over Amazon sites.

Now, for those of you who subscribe to my free newsletter, you were able to read some of my current thoughts on disability in sci-fi in our November edition . Here, I'm posting one response I got from a subscriber. I'm not including the writer's name here as I don't know if he'd like me to or not. Anyway, I thought some of y'll might find this of interest:

. . . thought you might be interested in knowing of a series by Tanya Huff. The Blood series is urban fantasy, and may not be the sort of thing that you like. Personally I think it's great. The reason for pointing it out is that one of the main characters has retinitis pigmentosa, but in an earlier stage. She had to retire from the police service due to effectively being blind at night. She has become a private investigator, but still has a volatile relationship with her old partner, who is still a police officer. The other main character is an illegitimate son of Henry the Eighth, and a vampire. He is also an author who writes bodice rippers. This may give you an idea of the humour to be found in stories that deal with the various horror genres.

Have fun
