2013 EDU: Virtual ability - Disabilities left behind

You aren't disabled in a virtual world
-
Virtual Ability
"Virtual Ability helps enable people with a wide range of disabilities by providing a supporting environment for them to enter and thrive in online virtual worlds. About half of our group members have one or more kinds of disability (physical, mental, emotional, or sensory) or chronic illness; the other half are temporarily-able-bodied  family members, caregivers, professionals, researchers, students, and others interested in disability issues."

2013 WRITE: Novelist discovered in Second Life

Colin Bell, known in Second Life as Wolfgang Glinka, 
is the first novelist to be discovered in Second Life
-
Colin Bell reading at the Waterstage
-
Colin Bell reads a chapter of his forthcoming novel at the Waterstage on Cookie
It’s 1967 and the start of the Summer of Love. Life will never be the same again for the young as they celebrate liberation and nonconformity, but also protest against prejudice, repression and war. In Brighton, Stephen Dearsley is tempted and intimidated by the way his generation is casting off traditional ways of dress along with the old ways of thinking. His hippy housemate Dys provides an open door into his own possible summer of love, but will autumn still find him in tweeds, or will he be in colourful loons and tie-dye? His ambition to become a biographer is fulfilled when he’s commissioned to research the life story of Austin Randolph, and the revelations of hypocrisy, class prejudice and homophobia lead him to make his decision.

 The free chapter is available  at:

The author's own story is as exciting and moving as the novel.  You can read about it, and how SL helped him as a writer here:
