Song of the Week

Máire Brennan, “The Days of the Dancing”

It’s Monday again. Hi.

Not much to report this week; I’ll be working to finish this draft of Journey to the Water before the month is out. Since I’ll be working all day Tuesday, there will be a new chapter up on Patreon on Wednesday, and last week’s chapter will be here for free reading on Thursday.

Also, the Spring Primary election in Wisconsin (and elsewhere) is tomorrow! Don’t forget to vote!

I’m trying to read more independently published books this year, so if you’re an indie author or know one, you can recommend me your/their book and I’ll do my best to check it out! I prefer fantasy, sci-fi, and/or horror, and I try not to buy from Amazon if I can help it. I’ll be posting short, honest reviews on Goodreads, Instagram, and Facebook, as well as wherever I bought the book. I am Very Bad at social media, so this is my way to get involved with my community and support fellow authors.

Here are some petitions I’ve signed over the past week, and maybe you’d like to sign them too:

Via Just Foreign Policy: Demand a permanent ceasefire in Gaza

Via Win Without War: Call on Pres. Biden to pressure the Israeli government to increase aid now

Via Avaaz: Stop This War

I think that’s everything for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Song of the Week: Double Feature

Loreena McKennitt, “The Lady of Shalott” (poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson)

Emilie Autumn, “Shalott”

Happy Monday!

Here are two very different musical takes on the same figure in Arthuriana. I hope you enjoy them.

I’ll be back on Wednesday with another chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea. See you then!

Song of the Week

Loreena McKennitt, “The Mystic’s Dream”

Happy Monday! Today is my birthday, so I hope everyone is having a very good day. This week, we’re starting the next chapter of The Well Below the Valley, and things are about to get very serious for our intrepid investigators. I’ll also be on Twitch on Thursday.

My small family is going to be moving house in November. Hopefully, that won’t cause any disruptions to your regularly scheduled content, but I’ll be sure to post some kind of notice if I’ll be without Internet for any significant length of time.

I have a Ko-Fi! Blog content will always be free, but if you like what I do and want to help me keep doing it, please consider supporting me: https://ko-fi.com/madelinecrane

Song of the Week

Loreena McKennitt, “Penelope’s Song”

It’s Monday again. Funny how that happens. I won’t be streaming on Twitch tonight, as several forces have converged to give me too many things to do today, but I plan to stream Thursday evening instead. On Wednesday I’ll be posting the next chapter of Beyond the Frost-Cold Sea, so be sure to stop by again then.

On Friday and going into next week, I’ll be participating in the Global Climate Strikes, so there will be a brief hiatus while that is going on—I’ll have more information about that later this week.

Please enjoy this song, and have an excellent week.
