My Story in Uncollected Anthology: Magical Arts!

I’ve loved the Uncollected Anthology for years now, with an amazing group of writers creating some of the best urban fantasy out in the world today. So I was delighted when they invited me to be a guest author for the Magical Arts issue!

Of course I said yes, and the toddler who runs the writing machine inside my head immediately piped up with “Atlanta!” Which makes perfect sense if you’ve ever spent much time there, and if you’ve read my stories set there. It is a strange and wonderful city, and an ideal setting for a bit of fantasy.

Read on for more about The Findings of Magic now, with a release date of December 1, 2021. And be sure to keep an eye out for the whole Magical Arts anthology, because you won’t want to miss these incredible stories.

Here’s Dean’s introduction to Plurapod Pathogen, and read on for more about the fascinating/creepy origin of the novel’s pathogen. Hint: It has a solid basis in reality.

“Kari Kilgore in PLURAPOD PATHOGEN gives us the first book in her Empire Revealed series. This is fairly near future science fiction with a lot of twists and turns and great characters as only Kari can write them.”
