Lammas, August 1, is the Celtic festival of the harvest. It was an element in one of my books although in the video below I don't discuss that so much as other aspects of Sky Daughter. It so happens that I also just redid the cover for the book. I had never been happy with the woman on the cover but just hadn't found the right one.
Maggie needed to have strength but even more strength she hadn't yet tapped into. She needed to look like a woman dealing with a lot of difficult things as well as figuring out who she was-- not just who she had been but who she would become. I think this cover finally says what it needed to depict. Covers are tough that way.
The video is discussing some of the dominant energies behind the writing of Sky Daughter, the things the story is about beyond, of course, a love story.
