Lisa writes, I’m a professional songwriter and wrote this song after reading Magic Breaks. Inspired by Kate meeting Semiramis in Mishmar, the song is written from a Matriarch’s pov and tells the story of a mother’s love for her son, his eventual betrayal, and her promised vengeance. I hope that you enjoy it even half

Complete the soundtrack
We are working on Magic Triumphs. Here is a sampling of some songs from the soundtrack. I need a new album or two. Any suggestions? 🙂
Inspirobot
Today I bring you Artificial Intelligence. Inspirobot.me will generate a special motivational message just for you. Sometimes it goes very right. Sometimes it goes horribly wrong. Here is the link. Have fun and feel free to share your cool posters in the comments on Facebook and Twitter. I don’t think the blog let’s us embed

Have to keep those baby cups clean.
The Music of Antti Martikainen
I bought this yesterday to add to my soundtracks to write with and I’ve listened to it six times now. This is such a perfect blend of East and West. Is this fun or what?
Grey Muggy Friday
I’m supposed to be writing, but we’ve had some personal stress and the book is coming out, which typically makes me a basket case. I drank a cup of stiff British tea. We’ll see if Bigelow can pull me out of my semi-comma. First, important announcement: Jeaniene Frost will be joining us in Atlanta for

King Arthur
Gordon took me on a date to see King Arthur and it was amazing. Loved, loved, loved. Loved everything about it. Loved that they didn’t do yet another rehash of Morgana, Lancelot, Guinevere, loved the special effects, the action, the dialogue. Excellent movie. Go to see in theaters if you can, because it’s big.
Artyarns Club – Thumbs Down
So I decided to treat myself to a “luxury” Artyarns Club. It’s one of those deals, where they send you yarn and pattern every month, and you make cool stuff with it. The club was pricey – $66 – but this is pretty much my only hobby at the moment and I really wanted to

Mass Effect: Andromeda
I was looking forward to Mass Effect Andromeda for years. Not exaggeration. The game came out. The game is beautiful. And that’s about it. Instead of a grand adventure in the galaxy far, far away, we’ve got a ship filled with lackluster characters, a meandering rehash of a plot with nothing except a new hairdo

Writing Questions
We’ve been working very hard, so the blog has been lagging behind. Someone emailed and asked if we did writing questions anymore. We decided to answer 4-5 writing questions – business or the actual writing, doesn’t matter – so ask whatever you want in the comments or through the email form on the website. Meanwhile,

Oh noes, it’s a Knitting Post
I broke down and bought the Artyarns Taj Mahal Shawl kit. Yes, I know. Expensive as hell. But it is so pretty. Meanwhile I am working on Lilli Pilli wrap in Tosh Merino light. My white isn’t quite as white as I wanted it to be, but I think it will be pretty. I’m tempted
