Spotlight On Lee Martindale #Imaginarium
SPOTLIGHT ON: Lee Martindale
How did you get involved in the upcoming Imaginarium convention?
I was a writer guest on Steve Zimmer’s Literary Track at FandomFest for three years, and consider him one of the best track-runners in the business. When Imaginarium began as a gleam in his eye, I couldn’t NOT be involved. Hence my serving as the inauguural Imaginarium’s ToastMistress.
What is your latest release and what genre is it?
Bard’s Road: The Collected Fiction of Lee Martindale. Primarily fantasy.
Quick description of it.
Twenty-nine stories from nearly twenty-five years of slinging short genre fiction for a living. Includes hard-to-find reprints and four never-before-published works.
Something unique about it.
Includes all stories-to-date from my Copperwood Bard and Trade Town universe. And one story has made grown SCA-fighter types cry.
