In this highly-anticipated sequel to Sorcery for Beginners, a diverse team of teenage sorcerers travels the globe, rescuing magical creatures from the evil Euclideans.
Many people have gone out of their way to compliment the immersive quality of the prologue to "A God in the Shed"...and I’ll gladly second them! The clarity of the fairy-tale narrative perspective mixes wonderfully with the personalities of the kid and the equally naive alien god...even before his ominous power goes on display, the tension I felt I as I read about the kids and the gods playing kid’s games together, waiting for the shoe to drop...it was quite simply exquisite!
I was hoping to ask: what inspired your depiction of the "Ancient Trans-Dimensional God" at the heart of your story? Did you draw from mythology, other works of horror, or even real-life experiences?
I just wanted to mention how much I enjoyed the opening prologue for Adagio: the juxtaposition of a Byronic Predator with his cheerfully professional psychologist hints at a world with many hidden layers...a underground community of monsters and magic and a music major whose melodies can mesmerize even a jaded immortal.
As someone from a musical family, I can’t wait to read more about Elma’s Siren-like violin melodies and how they can influence the world around her!
A Victorian-age vampire and a modern-day musician grapple with their identity and the pull of a dangerous woman. It is a song of mystery, magic and the unyielding power of love. Watch as they learn the tune.
A brilliant introduction and a fascinating format. The struggle between wondrous sorcerers and coldly rational Euclidians evokes the themes of childhood vs. adulthood, imagination versus dullness, self-expression vs. conformity...with small hints that the main conflict isn’t so simple.
A child slips through a portal into the land of the Fae and traverses the Otherworld with the help of a young elf, while her parents are left to deal with the changeling that was left in her place.
Amidst the gathering storm, rebellions and alliances are sealed and broken, gods cast lots on warring nations, and ravens whisper prophecy into the ears of druids. The renegade blade rises from ash, to burn through the endless night as fire.
