I wanted to talk a bit more about this idea floating around in my head, the one I mentioned yesterday in regards to swamp legends.

You guys may or may not be familiar with a character called Silver John, who was featured in a number of stories by Manly Wade Wellman. I found him in a collection of short stories called "Who fears the Devil". Silver John is a travelling musician, who goes around the southern United States, often encountering legendary monsters, and he carries a guitar with silver strings - which comes in handy occasionally.

Well, a couple of days ago, the beginnings of an idea connected to my MYTH series that would touch on some of the creatures of those legends - with the twist that some of them may have children who would come to the school. I was even considering having Silver John make an appearance as something like a "defense against the dark arts" teacher.

Any suggestions, ideas, or comments appreciated.
