A quotation from Christy Hall

The night before a deadline, I usually am in desperate need of a back rub. And new wrists. And candy. And little mice to secretly finish the job while I am sleeping.

Christy Hall (contemp.) American playwright, screenwriter, film director
(Attributed)

Happy (slightly belated) Publication Day! My translation of Spanish author Daniel Badosa Moriyama's epistolary story "Rest in peace, Master Pruner" is out now at The Orange & Bee!

If you ever wondered what happened after Pinocchio became became a real boy and grew up, this story is for you!

(This is my first published collaboration with Daniel, and it took 8 tries to find a home for this translation!)

Mélusine for #MerMay!

This hand-printed Art Deco-inspired lino block print illustrates Mélusine at her bath, spied through a keyhole. Mélusine was the legendary half-fairy ancestor of the House of Lusignan and royals including the Plantagenets, whose lower half became a serpent when she bathed. She married a nobleman but insisted he must never observe her in the bath; of course he did, and she left him. 🧵

Continuing on the theme of other worlds, I highly recommend Franz Schubert's Erlkönig, which draws on a poem of the same name by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

This version includes an English translation and an animation of the action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS91p-vmSf0

[CW: the song references a child's death]
