Meet the Witches at SDCC!

We were very fortunate to be invited to a press roundtable at San Diego Comic Con and got to chat with the effervescent cast and producers of A Discovery Of Witches. But before we meet the witches (and producers), here’s a summary of what was announced at San Diego Comic Con on Thursday, July 19th:

• A Discovery Of Witches will premier on September 14 on Sky One in the UK.
• In the US, it will be available on streaming platforms, Sundance Now and Shudder. Later on Instagram, Sundance Now wrote that the series would air in early 2019.

The producers and cast were the same that had previously spoken during the panel in Hall 20: Deborah Harkness, Lachlan MacKinnon, Teresa Palmer, Alex Kingston, Valarie Pettiford, and Owen Teale.

But first thing first. Who’s this book for? This question is easy to answer. If you fit one of these profiles, The World Of All Souls is for you.

Creating The World Of All Souls

Sol in Taurus—The Bull governeth money, credit, debts, and gifts. While the sun is in Taurus, deal with unfinished business. Settle your affaires, lest they trouble you later. Should you receive an unexpected reward, invest it for the future.
Anonymous English Commonplace Book, c. 1590, Gonçalves Manuscript 4890, f. 7 v

On May 8th, under the sign of the Taurus, a new gift from Team Harkness is born. Its full name is THE WORLD OF ALL SOULS.

The wonderful authors, Claire Baldwin, Lisa Halttunen, and Jill Hough, and the magnificent artist, Colleen Madden, shared the creative process of putting the book together, what surprised them the most, what is like working with Deborah, and a lot more!

Discovering All Souls Prague by Aedrey G.

The driver didn’t speak English and I didn’t speak Czech, so this was going to be an interesting ride to the hotel. It was only early evening but I’d been traveling for the better part of the day; tired and hungry, I’d skipped impatient/frazzled mode and landed right into auto-pilot. I knew enough tourist Czech to respond to basic questions having memorized a few phrases before my trip so long as they were spoken to me s-l-o-w-l-y and repeatedly, but naturally got flustered when it came time to use them. Determined to be polite, I carried on with the conversation. While I remember most of my responses, I’m not entirely sure what his questions were so I’m guessing here, but as he seemed more confused than insulted, I breathed out a sigh of relief when I stepped out of the car.

All Souls Prague Giveaway

“Where are my red hose?” Matthew clomped downstairs and scowled at the boxes scattered all over the ground floor. […] In Prague, it was now the eleventh of March and the children and Pierre had yet to arrive.
—Shadow Of Night, Ch. 27 real-time reading

In Shadow Of Night, Diana and Matthew have just arrived in Prague, so it seems only fitting to celebrate with a few Prague souvenirs we collected last January.

On the Footsteps of Diana & Matthew – Prague, Malá Strana

Our insatiable wanderlust combined with our love for the All Souls Trilogy has taken us to a truly enchanted city where Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo live side by side in perfect harmony. Welcome to Prague, the city of a hundred spires!

By exploring Diana & Matthew’s Prague, you’ll discover beauty at every turn, especially when you’re committed to walking everywhere looking for doorway signs, sgraffito-decorated buildings, and secret passageways not marked on Google. Those passageways have become an obsession because, let’s face it, “beating Google” can be a lot of fun! Net-net: bring your most comfortable shoes to walk on uneven cobblestones, and a camera (or phone) with extra large storage because you’ll want to take hundreds of pictures.

In part 1, we explore Malá Strana, the neighborhood under Prague Castle.
