Creativity Friday: King’s Rose giveaway winner—and a tarot reading giveaway

It’s the start of spring break over here—meaning that Thea is out of school, and I’m tying up loose ends on the book proposal before vacation next week. At this stage of the game, I need to get the proposal done and off to my literary agent, for creative as well as practical reasons. So today’s post is going to be a quickie-but-goodie. I can feel the Muses tapping their collective feet in impatience….

A few links and things before I announce the winner of The King’s Rose giveaway—and announce a new giveaway. (Yes, a new giveaway! This one is for a tarot reading with me. Details below.)

* While I’m away, I’ll be keeping to my regular posting schedule. Some old-but-favorite posts have been bankrolled to go live in my absence. I do hope you’ll check in!

* Over at Carlyn Beccia’s Raucous Royals blog, she’s posted the next installment of her “The Tudors: Hollywood versus Historical” series. Fun! So far, I’ve only watched the first episode of the new season, but am interested to see how they develop Jane Seymour’s character—especially after all of last season’s Anne Boleyn histrionics. To paraphrase what I wrote in Doomed Queens, Queen Jane does seems a rather bland Mrs. de Winter after Queen Anne’s vibrant-but-dead Rebecca.

* Wonders and Marvels has reposted my “Art of Dying” piece, which will tell you all you ever (or never) wanted to know about beheadings. Many thanks to a neuropsychologist friend, who helped me out with researching it. (She wants to remain unidentified out of shyness.)

* Author Catherine Delors has been posting a lovely series on her blog featuring transcendental art from Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. Perfect for spring!

* If you haven’t checked it out yet, tarot artist Lisa Hunt has been recently posting about the creation of her highly anticipated Fairy Tale Tarot. She’s included photos of her studio and work underway. It’s a great peek inside her creative process, especially for anyone who’s interested in creating a tarot deck of their own.
