Did a Pulp Fiction Vampire Novel Predict the #Metoo campaign?

In the vampire political thriller (yes that's a thing) The White Lily Society: Miami Bloodlust, a secret society of women, led by a head vampire (who happens to be the Vice President) compile an underground list of predators. Unlike the lists that have come about in the #MeToo campaign, in The White Lily Society, this list becomes a hitlist of sorts, leading to mass murders nationwide.

While the #MeToo campaign took place in the last few months, The White Lily Society, with its bizarre and kinda pulpy look at sexual assault from a somewhat pro-woman vampirish perspective came out months before Weinstein's criminal acts led to an explosion of women sharing their tragic and often violent personal experiences.

The idea fomented in the mind of the author for several months, and originally the roles were going to be switched, but after the 2016 election, changes were made to reflect this brave new Trump world.

So does The White Lily Society predict the outrage that came out of the #MeToo campaign, and its followup #Timesup?

See for yourself.

Top 10 Mistakes When Writing for Percussion

Top 10 Mistakes When Writing for Percussionby Sabrina Young
10. Indicating the wrong mallets for an instrument.Brass mallets on vibes? Try a hammer on a violin!

9. Writing the glockenspiel part as heard.You shouldn't have to climb a ladder of leger lines to read a glock part. Keep it in the staff.

8. When in doubt, adding more suspended cymbal.This is a huge mistake made by arrangers. Yep, cymbals add automatic intensity to a piece, but so can a bass drum roll, a rousing hand drum part, exciting mallet licks, or a hundred other combinations. Well-written percussion parts stand out in the band and church repertoire.

7. Better means more complicated, right?This is my main mistake. A percussion part can be simple enough for a middle school, but it is the ability to use the different tone colors of the percussion palette properly that indicates a maturity in writing, not that impossible part for the timpanist that has them playing timpani, gong, crash cymbals, and triangle in the span of…
