#FolkloreThursday Freebie: Rook Chant
Click the picture above to get a free ebook copy of my magical miscellany Rook Chant. What a lovely cover S. L. Johnson created from one of my fortuitous photos in Galway. I miss the rooks. Don’t hesitate — the offer’s good today only. Be sure to catch up with all the fun lore at…
Jane Bond? Chastity Flame!
I was amused by this tweet from Radio 4 wondering — at this late date — whether it was time for Jane Bond. I think Peter O’Donnell and I both would have the same eye-rolling reaction to that, not to mention a host of historical women! But wait, there’s more: CHASTITY FLAME is back! Well,…
Dundee Spring
Indulge me: here are some lovely things of spring. This girl: ‘Let me be in the picture!’ Nothing up her sleeve. I did manage to turn Elsa into a rock chick briefly… …which did not go over well. So I had to be a princess, too.

The hard part was stopping once I started… Thanks to the Short Humour site for being willing to host my nonsense. Thanks…
Sounding Out! Podcast #54: The Sound of Magic
Hey, that’s me over at Sound Studies: this is a briefer version of the paper I gave at the Digital Britain conference at Harvard.
Recorded Live: Fur Baby
I will be busy grading today — probably all day — so if you need entertainment, here’s a live recording from yesterday’s 2nd Sunday Open Mic at the Arts Center in Troy, NY. Yes, I really read this story on Mother’s Day. A bit on the dark and creepy side, so if you don’t like…
