Slavery in fantasy : guest blog
I first discovered Maria Zannini's blog through her Prudent Penny posts, though the stories of her cute Rottweilers are even better. As well as being a homesteader, she's a very talented writer and social networker, and I'm delighted to have the opportunity to guest blog on her site.
Maria suggested the topic of slavery in fantasy, which sounded great to me. Slavery can be a controversial topic, it crops up often in fantasy and it allowed me to refer to a Biblical epic.
What does the word “slaves” make you think of right away?
For me, a movie and a book come to mind. The movie is Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments and the book is Alex Haley’s Roots.
Read more here, and be sure to check out the rest of Maria's blog! You'll enjoy it.

I need to do some more Prudent Penny posts.
PS Your post is always getting some comments too!
It's going to be at least a year before I have a full-time job again. I need ways to save money. :)
