Names: A New Perspective Part 3

The last two weeks have been spent in a mad scramble to get people on board for the next phase of Names: A New Perspective. I really should have gotten this done a month ago, but I kept getting sidetracked by other things (Game of Thrones, finishing edits on Project Dharmayoddha, reading a ton of graphic novels, catching up on my monthly reading, etc), that it just didn’t happen on time.

But, I have the new schedule done and all worked out, and my thanks to everyone who has agreed to participate. The last few guest posts that have gone up have not been mentioned in any of the schedules, since I was mostly just winging it all, but now everything is set for the most part. This is the schedule that I will be referring to in the coming weeks, and I will also be expanding on this one as I contact yet more authors and bring them on board.

Here they are:

Once again, if you have any suggestions and recommendations for authors you would like to see featured on this series, do let me know in the comments. I started the series with just debut authors, but I’ve expanded it to include authors of all standing and interests, whether new or old, traditionally published or self-published, science fiction or fantasy, urban fantasy or horror.

And thanks once again to everyone who has helped make this series such a big success, the readers and the contributors alike. Goes without saying that none of this would have happened without any of you.

Cheers!
