Each disc of course comes with the full digital text and a cover, and I've done some artwork for the disc itself- which I have drawn on every disc. I'll put an example up soon.

Music. I like listening to music when I'm writing or, more often, thinking about writing. During the writing of Troublesome Disguises, I found myself listening a lot to Liege and Lief and What We Did On Our Holidays, by Fairport Convention. Particularly, Reynardine and She Moves Through the Fair. Ah, Sandy Denny- what a voice she had. Great descriptive acoustic guitars, too.

McGuffins? No mystery plot is complete without one. They add a psychological charge, create a premonition, give a sense of foreboding. And often focus or distract the audience/reader's attention, when it should be elsewhere. A McGuffin is a catalyst. It affects the chemistry of the characters, but does not itself change. In that famous movie starring Bogart and Astor, it was the black statue of a bird.
