Think soap opera or horse opera (the western equivalent), but on sci fi terms. <br /><br />Generally, there is no music involved at all, so the term "opera" throws people off. But there is music in mine, and intergalactic pop stars, hence I coined the term for my own book. Cheeky of me, I know.danika dinsmorehttp://www.danikadinsmore.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482116787671092642.post-18292000391718537162013-02-08T17:32:07.644-08:002013-02-08T17:32:07.644-08:00This is a hard choice because there are quite a fe...This is a hard choice because there are quite a few I would love to live in!

I found myself surrounded by faeries and suddenly the characters of Brigitta and Himalette popped into my head. The story came shortly thereafter, fairly complete, as if I had plucked it from the ether. I wrote the screenplay first, then later used that as an outline for the novel.</i><br /><br />This is Danika riding the mythic wave. Her gifts are clear. Her craft is supreme.
