Mistakes were Made

YA fantasy author Mette Ivie Harrison has an interesting new post up on Mistakes in Romance, comma, LIterary, on her LJ (metteharrison ).  I must say I agree with her and blackholly  that the Misunderstanding is not such an enjoyable mistake to read about -  of beloved Georgette Heyer's delicious romantic plots, it is definitely the least tasty to me.

The Witches of Lublin

The Witches of Lublin:  a new musical audio drama written by Ellen Kushner, Yale Strom (who's also our music director & composer & violinist) & Elizabeth Schwartz!  Long in the making, and now recorded and preparing for release to public radio stations nationwide as a

free Spring Holiday Passover radio special!

 

 

We're in Post Production right now with gifted, hardworking producer/director Sue Zizza, who is merrily editing the trax we recorded in November with our all-star cast,  including:

Tovah Feldshuh (Yentl; Golda's Balcony; Kissing Jessica Stein)
Simon Jones (Brideshead Revisited; The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy)
Barbara Rosenblat (Anne Frank Remembered; The Secret Garden; virtually every great audiobook you've ever heard)
Neil Gaiman (some writer guy with a nice voice) . . . and more!
 

Art by Ilene Winn-Lederer (also illustrator for for my children's book, The Golden Dreydl, a super-nice person and incredibly versatile, talented artist!).  This art will also be the CD cover for a 2-CD set that we're producing, consisting of the entire 59-minute audio drama, plus 11 new tracks of music from the show!  We'll let you know when it's available.  Meanwhile:
