Myth & Magic Episode 108: Hotel Fen #podcast #fantasy #writing @neilmach @meriscorner

For those who followed my 18 Reads of Christmas series, you’ve already met Neil Mach, novelist, podcaster, and the host of the Myth & Magic show.

My Years in Music via #SpotifyWrapped

I always look forward to #SpotifyWrapped as it pretty much sums up what I’ve been up to in the last couple of months. And sometimes Spotify has interesting things to say, too! 🤣 Without further ado, my Spotify 2021 stats: Minutes Listened: 19,883 – That’s roughly 330 hours. I listen to music a lot. Top

The State of November: NaNoWriMo, Hotel Fen II, Holiday & New Year Plans

Wow, November’s gone by in a blur. I’d had a number of things planned, but other things – good things! 😊 – happened along the way and derailed me. While I’m not yet able to announce what those things are, let’s just say that they’ve taken priority, hence my lack of replies in the past

Wow, it’s the end of October already! It’s been a really busy month for me, between all the changes and developments at work, the efforts on the writing front, and some other stuff offline. I managed to update my blog daily for the entire month, meet many lovely new people, attend several writing and writing-adjacent

New Songs Alert!

That’s right, songs, plural. To wrap up the spooky season, two brand new Hotel Fen songs will be released back-to-back this October 31 and November 1! 👻 Let Me Be tells of a woman longing to see the person she loves once again. For those who have read the book, this might be an unexpected

#WIPWednesday: Four Thousand Miles

Not a new book, but a new Hotel Fen song! While it isn’t the only one in the pipeline — I’ve already finished six other songs for the book soundtrack, outside of Elevator and Writings on the Window — this happens to be the latest one I’m working on. If you paid close attention to

#TeaserTuesday: Hotel Fen the Musical?

I’ve been joking (and you know jokes are half meant 😉) that I would love for Hotel Fen to be adapted as a musical someday. I’m a fan of musicals, and that’s reflected in the way the songs for the book have turned out, so it’s really no surprise to those who know me that
