"There isn’t a way
To be both known
And invisible
To be seen
And hide the secret stories
In a misspent sacrifice..."

"Strapped to a moving board,
nestled deep in the bore of the magnet,
I heard the machine beat out rhythms to dissuade my fear.

#SueCook interviews #author #EmilyMacKenzie about finding and writing in your muse. For Emily, the incredible land of Scotland, her home after transplanting from Canada, has become that very muse where chilling winds, enchanting birds, and incredible landscapes tinged with ancient rites brings her #fantasyfiction to light.
