https://worldbuildingrules.wordpress.com/2015/05/16/favorite-new-writer-daniel-jose-older
A blog about creating imaginary worlds. About K. Stoddard Hayes. May 16, 2015. 8220;Ghost Noir:” Favorite New Writer Daniel José Older. Daniel Jose Older’s Half Resurrection Blues is from Penguin.

This little excerpt about his approach to creating the world and the characters is probably at least half of why I like his stories so much.

Annals of the Western Shore. That’s what we storyt...
