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?

From the manuscript:
Alyth examined her nails, slow and unhurried. Without looking up, she said, "A skald threads the loom with her voice."

🧙♀️ The witch, burned and reborn.
🌙 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.

Ayy...new phone wallpaper.
I swear, my characters go with me everywhere. When I'm not writing, I imagine how they'd behave in situations I'm in.

Current chapter...
The true introduction of two divine characters.
One is a natural scene-stealer, so I'm balancing that with info she doesn't possess. And perhaps info she feels she should have had from the beginning.
It helps keep the spotlight more centered.

Changing reality and blowing minds, one performance at a time.

What a damn week.
Life burnout with work, family, and politics is real. My anxiety and depression have been pretty bad lately, but I'm trucking on.
While the words aren't exactly flowing, I am writing little asides in-universe. Been fun.
Morning vibes from Alyth & Lili...

Liliana and Torgrim Hrafnskjöld.
Priestess of the Horned Owl, bound to Mictlantecuhtli.
Forgotten Vanir werewolf berserker.
Their love shakes the world tree itself.
What ancient secrets will they reveal? How will they fight the machine?

It's been fun layering music, myth, and tech.
Very rewarding, but often exhausting.
For every magical beat, you need at least one grounding beat, if not more. I feel it keeps the story about the people that way.
But I do love how the band stuff is bubbling to life!

Alyth has gone through several revisions over the last couple years.
Red hair, green eyes, and impeccable style have stayed.
Banshee. Witch. A good time with a smirk and sharp wit.
She's the one who keeps the others safe.

Katie continued singing. Her voice reverberated through each timeline. The halo of light bent through both.
But when her vision snapped into focus, there was chaos.
