Sonitotum Bonus: For the Sake of the Song

This interview with Sean McGaughey on his For the Sake of the Song podcast is pretty different from my normal spiel… this time, I talk a bit about my songwriting in addition to my writing and “Brave Men Run.”

I hope you’ll enjoy some insight into the other major creative endeavor of my life… and by all means, subscribe to For the Sake of the Song for more eclectic inspections of singer-songwriters!

A Peek At Pilgrimage

Yvonne Blake, a character from \"Pilgrimage\" This is Yvonne Blake, as visualized with the help of a composite illustration program called FACES. Yvonne is a minor character with a big impact on several other characters in the follow-up novel to “Brave Men Run,” “Pilgrimage.”

I was just getting ready to write the piece of the book that includes her, and I needed to know her a little better. I created this image, which helped. Her hair is darker, longer, and more straight in my mind, but my version of the software has limited templates. Figure she’s wearing black jeans, a tee-shirt, and a plain denim jacket.

In any event, I thought I would share her with you!
