The most fun I've had writing this novel has been the gigs. I know music is very hit or miss in written media, but getting into magic and emotion during performances has been engaging for early readers!

Someone topped Taylor for me last month?!
Well, I did have Gabrielle playing on repeat after hearing "5 fine frøkner" on a reel. Hadn't listened to it in forever, but it's a banger.

They followed Nica's truck across the foggy Golden Gate Bridge and exited near the Presidio, onto wide, sterile streets that judged his old sedan. Every house was bigger and older than the last, like a trophy case for the world to see.

When the band escapes to Bodega Bay, they stay at The Hedrinn. Katie and Nica geek out over movie stills and memorabilia from The Birds and other classic films.
But what spirits haunt these grounds? What will they discover?

It's so much fun writing a magic system that's deeply entrenched in music.
Every spoken word is a flourish. Every chorus is ritual.

🌙 The goddess, torn apart by her brother.
👻 The banshee, rising from a mound of fifteen-hundred corpses.
Developing the three main divine characters has been a chore, but worth it. Lots of research!

🦉 One of the biggest challenges for my story is the connective tissue holding myth and tech together. 🤖
At first it seems ridiculous. Even the MC dismisses what's going on. But her skaldic lineage ties her to her mother, who is now part of the AI code after a deadly ritual.
