Long time ago...

Let me tell you a story. Long time ago, a 30-year-old lady sat on a MAX train after a busy day of work and listened to her MP3 player on shuffle. Somewhere between the Lloyd Center and Hollywood/42nd Ave stop this song came on:



The image of a vampire sneaking into a Romanian hospital nursery and saving a newborn on death's threshold with one drop of his immortal blood played in lady's head. When she got home, she pulled out her laptop and wrote out the scene. Thus was birthed the world of Legends of Carpatia. Fast forward 8 years later and a few stories from that world have published with the first novel coming next year. It's amazing what one song can trigger in the mind of a creative.

Last Monday, the writer got to see these guys live. They didn't disappoint. The well has been filled and more writing to come. Thank you Depeche Mode for being my muse.
