The Enchanter's Theorem

So, Judith Tarr (author of: King’s Blood and Rite of Conquest, you should read them!) owns a Lippizan horse farm and also runs a camp for writers where not only can you go to write and not worry about the world, you can hang with and ride one of the glories. And in my case… she has graciously agreed to let me take photos of the horses, including her amazing Pooka.

No. Really. Her nickname for her horse when around photographers is Zoolander. I can’t WAIT to take pictures of him.

Anyway, am as horse mad as they come. Been that way since I was five years old and discovered the concept and glory that is Horse. More importantly, horses figure prominently in my new quartet, the next cycle in the Curse & Quanta universe.

Here is an opportunity for me to once more spend time with animals that I love above all others (sorry, cats), write accurately about my four Horses of the Sun, and best of all, take photographs of some of the most perfect horses on the face of the Earth.

This is the sort of experience that makes the difference between a good set of books, and a great set of books. It’s also the sort of thing that I like to think makes the world a more beautiful place. In the Middle-East, they say that the Horse is the child of the Wind, a gift from the gods to humanity. I say that without the Horse, we don’t have Civilization. Horses are Power animals. We still rate engines horse power. Recording and memorializing them makes the World a better place.

But y’know. I would say that. I am certifiably Horse Mad.

And frankly, everything I’ve done in the last six years that’s mattered? Is all because of the support of people like you. In return, I will send you gorgeous metallic prints of some of the most beautiful horses on the Earth, along with weird postcards and tchotchkes from the road, the weirder I can find, the better. I’ll also be keeping a supporter only blog for the trip where I’ll share works in progress and whatever’s going through my head being in the desert with the glories.

No. Really. I’ve got plans for weird side of the road knick knacks to send folks.

Can’t contribute? No problem! Spread the word! Every little bit helps! Use the buttons on the page here and let folks know what I’m trying to doing. It really helps.

And as always, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!

So, day before yesterday, my car, a 2001 Ford Mustang (it’s a convertible and I named her Andromeda Ascendant, full disclosure) would not start. Turns out that the fuel pump is completely gone, which is very normal in a Ford of this age (also normal for most GMs). To replace the pump and filter (because you don’t want to burn out a new pump), pay for labor and the tow that got the car to the garage, it’s going to come out to $1000 and some change once tax is factored in.

Yeah.

Momma could use some help.

I know most of you are bidding on things for Magick4Terri (which is far more important than this), but if you are looking for gifts for Yule, I could use the help.

So!

In no particular order!

Ursa Major by Angela N. Hunt

The original of this rather small painting (it’s only 11×14 – tiny for me!) hangs in my daughters’ room as a guardian and a reminder that in that constellation, there is a star named for my father’s nickname. It probably carries no weight with the international community, but it comforts me to know there’s a star named Poppa Bear.

As always, prints can be had at Imagekind.

Okay, not a photo, but the painting I am the proudest of, after Pegasus Rising.

The reference for the piece is Katie West's youreallowed. You can see it here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiewest/108938261/

I bought a print in a hot second when she was selling them and was so entranced by it that I had to paint.

The painting itself is not for sale. It's too precious to me personally and means...things I'm not comfortable telling anyone. It's that important to me. This, like Pegasus Rising and before it, The Wasteland, was a turning point in my work.

That being said, I am selling prints now. Here and on my Etsy (as soon as i can beat my Etsy into submission). And these are prints that I do myself, with my tiny giclee printer. They're not numbered, but they are signed.
