World-Building for the Real World: Strategies for Fictionalizing

World Building in the Real World:
Strategies for Fictionalizing the World We Live In
with Bill Cameron
**
World building isn’t just for science-fiction and fantasy. It’s just as important for fiction set in our everyday world. I’ll discuss strategies and potential pitfalls when using the settings we know (or want to know) in our fiction.
**
When he’s not tending his chickens, W.H. Cameron shapes unruly words into captivating people caught in harrowing situations. As Bill Cameron, he’s the author of the critically-acclaimed Skin Kadash mysteries, and his YA mystery PROPERTY OF THE STATE was named one of Kirkus Reviews Best Books of 2016: Teen. His latest, CROSSROAD, introduces prickly apprentice mortician Melisende Dulac as she navigates a new landscape that’s both alluring and treacherous.

BILL: “I will gladly give away a copy of Crossroad for the raffle, signed and/or personalized as the winner chooses. Given that we’re home, I will also mail it!”
