I was honored to share these stories with you as they were a lot of fun to write. There's a Chinese folktale about a musician who could recreate the sounds of the weather through his instruments, and his greatest joy was finding a fellow musician who understood what he was trying to achieve. Really enjoy the reviews on the site and honored to be included among them. I also hope to see more of your MagPie Tales soon.
