On Supernatural Underground Later Today — T Frohock & Magic In “A Song With Teeth” (LOS NEFILIM #3)
Later today, the second in my Magic Systems in Fantasy series will be posting on the Supernatural Underground (sometime earlyish on February 1, US Standard Time.)
This month I’m interviewing Teresa Frohock about the magic in her LOS NEFILIM series, with a particular focus on A Song With Teeth, the final novel in the current trilogy, which will be OUT on February 9!
Regulars here have no doubt grokked to the fact I am a Teresa Frohock fan, as well as a friend-in-writing, but even allowing for a certain degree of natural bias, I have to tell you that her A’s to my Q’s are absolutely “stonking.” (With thanks to the excellent Rosie Cooper for adding so evocative a word to my lexicon. 🙂 )

Meanwhile, here’s a taster:
“TF: For those who haven’t read the series, the nefilim work their magic through music, light, and movement by creating sigils. They experience sound accompanied by color—a form of chromesthesia—that enables them to use the vibrations of color to shape their sigils, which manifest their willpower into reality.
…
The world the nefilim inhabit is the very real world of the early twentieth century, so their magic is quite often dependent on the science and music of the period. As they learn new things, they incorporate this knowledge into spells. A good example is Carme’s fascination with the Devil’s Fingers [Clathrus archeri], a type of fungus that she mimics with a very nasty spell that she inflicts on her enemies. …”
And there is so much moar, all equally indepth and offering a wonderful insight into the LOS NEFILIM world.

I’ll be checking in again later this evening to add the specific link for the Q&A — & here it is!

But you can also just click on the main Supernatural Underground link. The Q&A should be at the top of the masthead for a couple of days, if you take that route — and only a very brief scrolldown, after that. 😀
Meanwhile, why not take a look at last month’s interview with AK Wilder, if you havena already:
