Calling all Fairport Convention fans!

A Bookface post from Kenneth Hite, a fantastic author and commentator, that sparked a call out to someone we all know and love...
"Kenneth Hite
Just finished WYLDING HALL by Elizabeth Hand; wondrous horripilation tale of faerie, folk-rock, and the auld magic, Fairport Convention opening for Arthur Machen. (In which the most unbelievable thing that happens is a rock band actually seeing any of the money when their album is rediscovered forty years later.) Anyhow, Hand has a prolix "about the author" section in the back in which she never mentions her also great novel also about faerie and art and obsession, MORTAL LOVE.
Just think about that for a second. Think about being such a great writer that you don't have to put MORTAL LOVE in your author bio. I promise you, if I ever write anything two-thirds as true and real as MORTAL LOVE I will never ever shut up about it."
