Drinking With the Warlock's Son Filk Song  Download the MP3! (3.7 MB)
At Millennicon last weekend, I ran into Mary Bertke, who years ago wrote and preformed a filk song about Geoffray Gallowglass, Drinking With the Warlock's Son. She was kind enough to sing it for us again at a filk session later that evening, let Ortho record her performance, and provide us with the lyrics! You can read the lyrics here. |

For Ziplow Sci-Fi Shorts vol. II, Steven Ziplow turned one of my short stories into a radio play—and you can listen to it right here! In this comedy, a young man is caught in a tug-of-war between his military mother and artistic girlfriend (and he's the rope). Can he find a way to escape their war to control him—and control his own life instead? This story was co-written with my daughter Eleanore (meaning she wrote it and I proofread, edited, and stuck my name on it) for the 1996 sci-fi Mother's Day anthology Don't Forget Your Spacesuit, Dear. |

When I wrote the lyrics for St. Vidicon's Hymn, they were designed to match the melody of the tradtional church hymn "Old Hundredth" (origionally named for Psalm 100). Unfortuantely, many readers were unfamilair with this tune, and so weren't able to sing it. Even worse, they didn't get the joke.
At any rate, Deborah Rorabaugh, creator of Saint Vidicon's Online Shrine has provided a short MIDI of "Old Hundredth" so you can finally hear the tune that the lyrics of St. Vidicon's Hymn were meant to be sung to. |
