I knew this was going to be a long stretch at the easel.
I started a new detective series.
12 plus hours of audible storytelling per book.
20 books.
Then I switched back to my favorite author, Laurie R. King,
and reread most of her Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes series
in advance of listening to the newest addition.
Looking back at it now,
I can hear the Scottish brogues of both narrators.
The perfect soundtrack to this stormy wind blown sea.
And, for one more note of synesthesia…
I give you…
Holmes Hole.
In the “Confessions of the Artist” department
I borrowed the crow from another composition
which I am working on that features the great big tug boats
anchored over by the gas station.
And I moved the pallet of chains a bit to the right
boy were they heavy.
But everything else is completely honest and authentic
right down to the tiny light on top of the pole on the ferry.
