Musical JUDGING ATHENA news!

When I wrote Chapter Fifteen, “True Affections”, I scripted out Josh singing part of a song to Athena – this being on the first day of their honeymoon. Normally, I remove such lyrics due to copyright issues I don’t want to deal with. But with the particular song I had in mind, I just had to have it. So I reached out to the artist and low and behold, the lovely, talented Sima Itayim of Lebanon granted me permission! (Thanks, Sima!) It’s from the following excellent song, “Wonder Worker”. Which part? You’ll have to read the book or guess.

Here’s another great Sima tune:

When she’s not writing songs, she’s a heckuva political commentator and editor. Here she is chairing a discussion at the Cradle:

(uh… No)

And more recently, she joined Dr. Marwa Osman once again for an episode of MidEaStream. Please watch.

In addition to “Wonder Worker”, Judging Athena features mention of about ten other songs of one kind or another. Two other authors I know of have made “playlists” for their books. I might do that if I can figure out how. Stay tuned.

Sima rocks!
