Hal Zina Bennett and The Puzzle of Visionary Fiction

by

I was fortunate to be able to discuss the genre of visionary fiction with Hal Zina Bennett, the multi talented author and teacher who inspired me way back in 2002 to follow my gut and call my writing what it is.

Follow this link for part one of our interchange at Visionary Fiction Alliance, my second home.

As always, thanks for stopping by,
