Cry “Havoc,” and let slip the dogs of war

Rally the Court, the dark goddess is not amused. The sometime pirate captain, Tee Morris has been on twitter making dismissive comments about the fact that his book Pitcher’s Pendant has over twenty reviews while my scribe’s piece Digital Magic has but fourteen. This cannot stand.
Those of the Court who have read the sequel to Chasing the Bard, it would please the dark goddess if you would review it over on Amazon.com. We cannot allow a mere pirate captain to lord it over the Fey.

The final choice of the Privy Council will now be made. Sive can still accept members of her Court, but the Council Members will now be chosen. Ten lucky people will be receiving emails from the dark goddess inviting them to join.
Thank you all for your time, effort and enthusiasm for Chasing the Bard. Even Sive has been moved by all the support. Hang in there, and stay subscribed to this feed to find out about Digital Magic Podcast and other upcoming projects.

Apparently this is what Americans call ‘shaking it’. Tee and I decide the internet is our personal playground and get into every show we can. Some silly, some serious.

Gathering the Court
Author: admin
Sive is preparing to unleash the full force of Fey on the world. Those that spread the word will be rewarded by the dark goddess with a place in her in court. Four episodes and word is starting to leak out about Chasing the Bard. However Sive is not the most patient of immortals, and time moves far slower in her realm, so in the next few weeks expect to hear more about her assault on the human realm. It might involve thunder….
Promo Four- hey nonny nonny

Promo Two- Mordant calls in
Author: admin
- In the interests on not getting on the bad side of a Fey lord I decided that Mordant’s voicemail would make an excellent promo. Honestly it was not his scary laugh… honest…. Feel free to take this and play it anywhere, in fact if my arm were twisted behind my back (which of course it isn’t) then I’d prefer it. I am sure Sive is gonna come out and give me a kicking after this one… here’s hoping Will and Puck don’t call in!

The sound of a tree falling…
Author: admin
- So Chapter One is up and now the hard stuff…. announcing to the world the kiwi is out there! So here is the link to my one page media release or if you want a two page version. If any of you want to interview me, mention Chasing the Bard in blogs or other podcast or write a review let me know. The Fey don’t like to be seen, but on the whole novels do. I may not have plans on world domination, but it doesn’t mean I want the tree to fall in an unoccupied forest- especially if Puck is sitting in it at the time… he hates that.
- See you next week with Chapter Two- you get to meet Sive’s fiance voiced by the delicious Chris Lester. Mordant might not be one of those trainable husbands methinks….
