Yay, Rory Harper posted a bit about The Element of Fire on the blog Eat Our Brains, and even cooler, he posted an MP3 of the song Scott McCullar wrote for the book, lo these many moons ago. Scott was the lead singer and song writer for Los Blues Guys, and it's a fantastic song. (Scott's also a cartoonist, and has a great collection of library-related cartoons still available here.)
Still doing questions here, and about to run out to the post office.

Yep, it was lots of fun writing it, too. I really like the cover for the Lulu version of Element of Fire. Will likely buy it when I get a respite in my usual over-tasked life this weekend.
I'm going to load a higher-quality software tool for remastering the tapes, because I keep getting this weird phasing effect when I do noise reduction with the one I'm using now. Am planning to make available as many more LBG songs as possible, including as many of Scott's originals as I can.
And I hope to get a chance to hang with Jess a bit over the holidays, as she's one of my favorite people that I get to see rarely...
I think the cover turned out really well. I'm impressed with Lulu's print quality. The little spot of fire on the hilt of the sword came out in nice detail.
