Hey friend, I can’t believe it’s already August… this year is flying by!
As I posted on Instagram and Facebook recently… the album I’m writing is taking longer than I anticipated because of how all-consuming Mythologie Candles has become!
I’m certainly not complaining, because I love it and I’m on a big mission, but the reality is that it has slowed down the album process. The good news is that I’m less worried about hitting deadlines and more focused on writing from the heart and that always turns out better in the end anyway 🙂
Recently I traveled to San Diego to my first ever Comicon event. It was a whirlwind! And jam packed as well!
I attended on the Friday, and was in the famous Hall H with the new Amazon ‘Rings of Power’ cast, showrunners, and the composer of the show, Bear McCreary!
The new trailer they dropped was really great, and they also showed several clips of footage only released for Comicon. I met with several Tolkien authorities and even a Tolkien scholar (he’s known as the Tolkien Professor — Corey Olsen), and they are all feeling very optimistic about the show. Time will tell!
Jed Brophy – actor in all the Peter Jackson films (LOTR + The Hobbit) and plays in orc in the upcoming Rings of Power show. You might recall his line in LOTR: “Ehhh!, what about them? They’re fresh!” Corey Olsen – The Tolkien Professor. He’s a Tolkien scholar and well respected in the LOTR community. Also founder of Signum University. I had a lovely dinner with him and several others!
This is Lauren, known as @laurendoescosplay on Tiktok and IG. She made a fantastic Galadriel costume and got to meet the “young Galadriel” actress at Comicon. I spent at least an hour with her standing in line for Hall H! This is Matt from Nerd of the Rings youtube channel. I had the privilege meeting with him and also at the Tolkien dinner as well. My youngest son, Archer, has seen nearly all his videos and named his tarantula after Shelob. Matt brought him a NOTR hat for him, so he was thrilled.
New Music
New Music Here’s the big news: I’m releasing a NEW version of Sleeping Giant this Friday, August 5th!
It’s a folk version, which I think you’ll love. Perfect vibes for Renaissance Faires and summer chill playlists!
If you liked the original Sleeping Giant but harsh vocals aren’t your thing, you’ll love this version as it’s just my voice on it. I can’t wait to hear what you think!
