Episode 14: ToryLynn Writer

Kghia is on her own for Episode 14, as Simeon is away, and she speaks with actual life and Second Life author and writer ToryLynn Writer. ToryLynn is one of the people behind "The INKsters", which is one of the largest support and resource groups for writers in Second Life.

Unfortunately, due to technical problems, the first 4 minutes of the interview were lost, so the podcast picks up with Kghia and ToryLynn discussing some of the many programs on which Tory works to support budding writers and poets.

The first season of Off the Shelf comes to a close with Episode 14. Kghia, Simeon, Otenth and Gabi are taking a few months off before launching our second season.
