Here’s to the rest of work still to come!
Sea Shanties from The Bloody Maiden
If you’ve read The Bloody Maiden you’ll notice some sea shanties appearing in the prose. These shanties were written & composed specifically for The Bloody Maiden by the lovely R. L. Davennor! We thought it’d be fun to record these shanties with me singing since Prudence & I have the same accent to give you a glimpse into the world aside from just prose… be warned I’m no singer!
