The Album that Marc Gunn has released (Or soon to be released) either way – It is available here.
I found the album very relaxing. The sound of his voice and the autoharp together just melds together so well. The first song is an instrumental Silhoutte of Lost Love, I found to be a very moving piece. In fact all of the songs with the exception of one to me really flowed through many of the incarnations of love. So Marc well done.

Oh yeah my one complaint. track #6 “Froggie Went A-Courtin’” to me just did not fit. Now the flip side of this is he does a beautiful rendition of “Heart and Soul” (in fact I did not know there were words to that song).

On a whole, I recommend this album. It is easy listening for a quiet night at home with that special someone.

Disclosure: I am a fan of the Brobdingnagian Bards and have played their music on my show before as well as Marc Gunn’s She said her name was Saffron back on episode 19
(He won best filk song in that contest.)Hopefully I will get a song to play in the next show … we will see.

I would like to post a review of something that has kept me from doing the things that I really need to do. (I could not figure a way around work)
The Runestone of Teiwas was purchased when I recently went to a local convention (Conestoga). I do not normally do reviews, but apparently people want me to talk about these things and I may have a couple of things to say.

I met M.H. Bonham at said con. She was actually one of the reasons that I went. I have been listening to her podcasts (The Prophecy of Swords and the SciFi Traveling Road Show) which I enjoyed greatly although one was not quite done yet and the other has not had an episode since December. There are still good interviews there and readings from authors of the small press variety. I found it enlightening to listen to. So yes – this is coming from a fan. (does that handle the disclosure thing…)

Runestone I found was an easy read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It gripped me most unexpectedly and in my opinion is written better than her first book Prophecy of Swords. The characters were believable in that they are in a fantasy world. But the world is nicely detailed enough that it does not get in the way of the action… and boy is there action. Lots of it. I should also note here that this book stands alone. You do not need to read the first book to follow the second.

This book is a fun read and escape for a couple of hours at a time. (It took me a month to read) the chapters are shorter than I am use to but they are in logical places to break at and keep the story moving along. I am not a writer but I play one on a podcast. And I look forward to seeing this story done in podcast format .

4 out 5 bookmarks (also how many bookmarks I have lost do to the fact that they kept falling out of my book and my puppy would eat them.)

Brand new music on the way from one of the Brobdingnagian Bards. Marc Gunn will soon release a solo effort called “A Tribute to Love” I will be reviewing here after I get a listen to it. But it is available for you to pre-order at the link above. While you are over there explore the site for other of Marc’s solo adventures. (His drinking songs for cat lovers is fun.)
