Show Notes, Episode 35, Mur Lafferty & Science Fiction

**
Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King**

Why would an author lock up her Switch gaming station? What is fanfiction? Where do we access free original sci fi podcast magazines? And which publications purchase short stories from authors? Mur Lafferty, our first guest author of Science Fiction and Fantasy, answers these questions, and offers keen insight into these worlds and genres. We learn about free science fiction and other original works available in podcast format by our guest, and through EscapeArtists.net. She also clues us into the backstory of her Star Wars books, short stories, novels, serials, and podcasts! An award-winning author, writer and podcaster, you will enjoy learning about her work, writing tricks, and perspective! So, (in the style of EscapePod introductions…) put on you magical glasses, it’s interview time!”

About Mur Lafferty

Mur is an accomplished author, editor and podcaster. She earned a degree in English from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and her MFA from the University of Maine’s Stonecoast Popular Fiction Program. She currently lives in Durham, NC. She is an innovator and dynamic creative energy in science fiction, fantasy, nonfiction and encouraging geeks and writers to embrace their identities and potential.

Her published works and awards are numerous. As of 2021, here is a brief summary of works: seven novels, six novellas, two anthologies, several short fiction works, serial works and co-editor of the science fiction magazine, EscapePod. She has even leveraged her passion for science fiction and writing skills into writing a RPG, a role playing game.

In addition, we can’t begin to sort out how many podcasts she has contributed to and/or launched. She has been hosting “I Should Be Writing” for many years.

In 2015, Mur Lafferty was inducted into the Podcast Academy Hall of Fame. She has been awarded The Astounding Award for Best New Writer (previously known as the John W. Campbell Award). And very notably, her novel “Six Wakes” was nominated for the Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards.

He was the only blind student attending his local high school, where he played percussion in the marching band and other music groups, failed as a wrestler, and studied while pretending to goof off.

As a professional, Peter has been an advocate for change and a better world. He continues that work in his blogging, books and podcasts. He has published two books of short essays titled Riding Elephants: Creating Common Group Where Contention Rules (2021) and Breaking It Down and Connecting the Dots: Creating Common Ground Where Contention Rules (2017), as well as a memoir entitled Breaking Barriers, Working and Loving While Blind (2012).

Show Notes, Episode 29, Kristin Smedley Interview

Co-hosts: Cheryl McNeil Fisher and Kathy King

An extraordinary interview with an author who’s mission is to change perceptions of blindness around the world. An effervescent advocate, author and innovator, Kristin Smedley, author of the popular book on NLS/BARD “Thriving Blind,” joins Cheryl and Kathy for a unique author interview on Writing Works Wonders. Kristin is the mother of two young men who are blind. The success of her book has led to a worldwide community of those affected by blindness including parents, children and more. In this interview, you will also discover more about the newest initiatives regarding navigating college, and entrepreneurship, and the upcoming release of her newest book.

About Kristin Smedley
With a fun-loving spirit and energetic personality, Kristin Smedley has guided her life in the direction of a career in teaching. However, when her two sons were born blind, Kristin walked away from the classroom to teach her sons how to navigate a world they could not see. This is part of the reason Kristin’s mantra is “Life is funny… sort of.”

With the right foundation and a multitude of resources, her children have achieved
more than most sighted children their age. Kristin has seen first hand that the grim statistics in the blind community, 70% unemployment rate, 14% college graduation rate, and 60% living in poverty, are a direct result of lack of access to the right tools and resources. She has dedicated her life to changing those statistics and making sure no other Mom has to sit isolated in devastation over a rare eye disease diagnosis.

In 2011, Kristin launched a nonprofit to fund research and resources for children living with the rare eye disease her sons have, CRB1 LCA/RP. Her efforts have sparked international research, OSA legislation, and support communities, Kristin has done a TEDx Talk in New York City to change perceptions of blindness.

In 2019, Kristin published her first book called Thriving Blind: Stories of Real People Succeeding Without Sight. It achieved #1 New Release and Best Seller on Amazon for paperback and Kindle and morphed into vi rant online support communities,
