Diane Patterson [author of You Know Who I Am (The Drusilla Thorne Mysteries)

Tarot for Writers
, by Corinne Kenner.
From a review of the book: Corrine Kenner, author of “Tarot for Writers”, explains that well-known writers, such as John Steinbeck and Stephen King, have used tarot cards for inspiration. She adds that Italian novelist Italo Calvino went so far as to call the tarot “a machine for writing stories.”
Really? I had no idea. But I'm not surprised.
In our class we just used the images themselves to inspire a 3-sentence story. This article delves more deeply into the meanings and symbolism of the cards, which can be interesting but isn't necessary.
To my astonishment, I find that there is a Tarot of Jane Austen Deck
.
And a The Zombie Tarot
.
The Science Tarot
. (Is that an oxymoron, or what?)
I'm going to stop now before I spend the entire morning surfing the web looking at weird and wacky tarot decks and leaving evidence to prove I did so.

A Jane Austen tarot deck?! Fantastic!
Thanks for dropping by and commenting! No, there are no performances on You Tube yet. Our drummer has a video camera, and tried to record everything, but something always goes wrong! There might be one song from a gig on our Facebook page, I think. The link to that is on the left sidebar.
