Hi !
I had hoped to share a video with you today, but these things always take longer than I anticipate. The video is being converted to MP4 and then I'll upload...which could take hours. I will post about it on social media, so be sure you follow me on Twitter or Facebook to be notified.
What's it about? As I've mentioned before, I've written a new cozy mystery that is currently in edits with my publisher. (Which reminds me, I need to send it back.) In this "world," the amateur sleuth
has a degree in folklore, and she love folktales, mythology and fairy tales. To incorporate her knowledge and interest in stories into the book, I've done lot of research. In doing so, I've come across fascinating and wonderful tales, lore, and more. I thought it would be fun to share some of these tales, especially the ones that you might not have heard of or read. Because I'm a die-hard romantic, I decided to start with tales of love, and call the video series, Love Lore. Clever,
huh?
The first video tells the story of Cupid and Psyche, and at the end, I share some of my thoughts about Cupid (why is he depicted as a kid so much?) and about the story. I have plans to share more stories, especially ones I hadn't heard before. This is what makes research as a writer so fun. I basically get paid to read and research fairy
tales!
