Mythic Writers Blog

This week, my blog tour interview with Maureen McQuerry went online.  You can read it on my writing blog.  One thing in the interview really stood out for me, though, so I wanted to share it here.  When asked about mythology and her work, the author wrote, “Because myth involves archetypes, it has universal appeal across time and cultures and it speaks to longings that are deep within all of us.”

I think this is why I enjoyed her books so much–she really understands that longing that myth raises in us, and she does an excellent job of infusing her work with that nearly indescribably feeling.  Take some time to read the interview, and buy her books, too.  If you’re reading my blog, I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy Ms. McQuerry’s writings as much as I do.

Not much out of me this week.  I am leaving tomorrow for a weekend trip to Chicago for my cousin’s wedding, and the shoes I ordered didn’t arrive.  So I’m about to head out on an emergency shoe shopping excursion.

So…I just finished reading Maureen Doyle McQuerry’s Wolfproof.  (Finally managed to get a copy.)  It was so much fun!  It went so fast–I was completely pulled into this story.  I am looking forward to Travelers Market very much.  I will be interviewing Ms. McQuerry for her blog tour later this month.  I’ll post a link to it here.  I hope you’ll all read the interview and pick up her books if you haven’t already.

On that note, I am off to quest for shoes.  And then pack.  See you next week!
