Yet another professional writer starts exploring crowdfounding.

Barbara Hambly, author of fantasy, crime and historical novels, since yesterday has a new section on her website offering PDFs of stories involving characters who have appeared in her books like the mage Antryg, the vampire Don Ysidro and the surgeon / musician Benjamin Janvier.

Here's a link to Barbara's announcement

and a link to her 'The Further Adventures of ...' page

This sounds like an interesting project. Thanks for the links!

My pleasure! She's one of my favorite writers and deserves more recognition, IMO.
Of course, feel free to spread the word, if you like. :-)

Indeed, I have scheduled a post about this project over on "Hypatia's Hoard of Reviews."

Thanks so much! I checked her site out a few months ago, and it wasn't terribly current. I am *VERY* happy to pay for stories from the books I liked as they appear.

You are much welcome! I'm very excited by her decision as well, hope the experiment goes well.
