Forced to attend the Regent's celebration at Wolgast Castle, 1560 Germany, Sidonia von Bork, fears her magical abilities will be discovered and she'll be burned alive as a witch. When she discovers she is actually a member of an ancient shape-shifting race and the prophesied Golden One, she must face her destiny: to save the multiverse from the daemons determined to destroy all humans, and stay alive in the process.
Linda Bell Brighton’s Bio:
Linda Bell Brighton fell in love with myths, magic, and
monsters at an early age. On a thunder-storming day in the Keys, her father—in
his bass reading voice—brought The Hound
of the Baskerville to too-vivid-life. From that day forward, Greek and
Roman myths merged with Wonder Woman and Super girl. After studying medieval
and Renaissance literature in college, she now combines her loves by writing an
alternate history of the Witch Burning Times that she calls magpunk: real
history with myths, magic, monsters—and daemons, too.

Guest Post on Brainstorming Tarot Spread By Linda Bell Brighton
In the center put a card, either of your choosing or
let Tarot choose.
Deal cards around it in a rough type circle, not
necessarily clockwise or counterclockwise. Put them where they urge tells you
to. Deal as many or as few as you want.
First: Look at Major Arcana cards. They might
reflect the journey (character arc) the main character needs to go through or
the travels the character goes. Or the significant issues in the novel. What
you find here resonates through your interpretation of the rest of your cards.
Second: Look at the Court cards. These might
represent the characters or the characteristics of the characters. Perhaps
thoughts they hold. Maybe the acts they do or events they cause. Or
worldbuilding. Races with that trait.
Third: look at the minor arcana cards. These are
probably events in scenes.
Look at the images. Does the name or pictures give
you any ideas? How about the written description?
Do the cards keywords give you any ideas?
How about the action phrases for the cards?
Are there opposing cards (two cards with opposite
meanings)? These show conflict ideas.
Reinforcing Cards (two cards with similar meanings)?
Perhaps the side kick of Protagonist or Antagonist.
Court Card Pairs (the same rank)? This doubles what
their rank signifies, what their element is.
Minor Arcana pairs?
This can be the same event repeated, but with differences.
Draw an imaginary horizontal line through them. See
all the cards below the horizontal line as Past journeys, people or events. As
you go clockwise, the cards describe more the more recent past. If any card is
on the left line, that is the “ghost” of the character or some important past
event. Above the line to the left are future events. The first one above the
line is the next event. Going clockwise each is in the farther future. If any
card is directly on the line to the right that is a goal or some important
future event.
Compare the card in the center with every other
card. See if that triggers any ideas.
