Love Tarot app launch day! And a video!

Today’s the day my new app goes live on iTunes! The Love Tarot app features tarot readings and romantic love stories with my award-winning Lover’s Path Tarot.

In celebration of the launch, here is the YouTube promo video for it, which is considerably more romantic than the Goddess Tarot app video. This video was inspired by The Lover’s Path, the illustrated novel that accompanied The Lover’s Path Tarot. (Just in case the embedding doesn’t work, here’s the direct YouTube link.)

Learn more about the Love Tarot app at www.Loverspath.com. Or, if you want to cut to the chase, you can download it from iTunes as either a free Lite version or a paid Full version. (Heads up: The Paid version is on sale at $1.99 until 10/4/09—regular price $2.99.)

FULL VERSION

LITE VERSION

Next up for me: Preparing for the upcoming gallery show, which will be about fairy tales. I’ll also probably be returning to work on my New Book, which is just about ready for the next phase of development.

But for tonight, I think I’ll raise an Appletini toward Cupertino, California.

The lovely soundtrack for the video is by Ensemble Mirable, Conversations Galantes.

The Art of the App

My latest Goddess Tarot app blog tour post is up! It’s all about creating art for an iPhone app:

Unless you’re versed in the programming languages C+ and Cocoa, creating an iPhone app is a mysterious process. Unlike websites, there are no Dreamweaver-like editors out there to construct your app with a click and drag of the mouse. That written, the popularity of the App Store has led to ample resources for those determined to code-or-bust — there’s even an iPhone Application Development for Dummies book available.

But what about creating art for an app?

What they don’t tell you about creating a tarot deck

I’m back from the West Coast — and have been greeted by a “to do” list that feels longer than my vacation. (Isn’t that always the way?) Nonetheless, The Goddess Tarot app blog tour continues anon.

Today, I have a guest post over at The Tarot Dame which is all about tarot deck creation. Oh, and there’s a giveaway too. I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out.

Once I have a chance to catch up (and catch my breath), there will be some new posts coming here. Really. This summer has been a particularly travel-intense one. I’m still waiting for my spirit to catch up with my body, if you know what I mean.

As I wrote yesterday, I’m traveling with my family on the west coast right now. Nonetheless, I’m virtually visiting Arwen Lynch’s tarot blog today, as the first stop on The Goddess Tarot app blog tour. I’ve written a post about tarot in the digital age — I hope you’ll stop by to comment! On top of that, we’ll be offering a giveaway.

(It’s just all giveaways all the time these days!)
