June’s Featured Books
This month I’m proud to feature the books of my good friend Michael Kilman. Michael is an accomplished professor, author, and anthropologist, and he’s got some books you need to read.
First up is Build Better Worlds: An Introduction to Anthropology for Game Designers, Fiction Writers, and Filmmakers. Are you an aspiring storyteller who has an idea for a fictional world and want to develop it? This book is for you. It gives a crash course in anthropology and teaches you everything you need to know to create believable fictional worlds. I’ve been personally using it to write my latest story for Kindle Vella.
Next up is the Chronicles of the Great Migration series, beginning with Mimi of the Nowhere. He describes it as “A finalist in the 2020 Author Elite Best in Sci-Fi Contest.
In the bowels of the giant walking city of Manhatsten, Mimi survives, homeless, and unique as the only telepath in what’s left of humanity. Mimi has isolated herself for centuries, watching the few friends and lovers she let close die, as she endures.
Then, after decades alone with her gift, something interrupts her telepathy. She realizes she might not be alone after all. Mimi soon discovers a secret that has remained hidden since the walking cities took their first steps a thousand years ago. A secret that could cost her life, or worse.
Will she survive, or will the city ultimately recycle her?”
