I've been working with my favorite band in Colorado who have a recording studio in Grand Junction called Atom+Eve Studios. They've made great recordings of the songs from three of my books so far. My fans keep asking when I'm going to have them up on my website, and I keep saying "soon." Here's the problem. I want a cool video to put with each of them before I post them on YouTube, and I haven't got it done yet.

BTW, the song "Regrets Tree on Fire" is for my book of the same name scheduled for release in the summer. For those of you who know the characters in The Cousin Cycle, this is Bill's story. "Safe at Home Again" is Susie's song in Solstice Magic (A Calgary Stampede Adventure, #1). The trade paperback will be available on Amazon in just a few days, with the e-book to follow. "Who Am I?" is Brenna's song from How Not to Cry in Public, released on March 1st. If you prefer e-book format it should be available any day now! So please come back!

So what's the verdict? Should I get the songs up with a static picture of the sheet music right away, then work on my videos later as I can?

I promised you recordings of the songs I wrote for my books and I've delivered! Well, at least the first two. The music recordings for my other books are coming -- so this is an ongoing promise!

Here's the cover for the next release in the Cousin Cycle, REGRETS TREE ON FIRE -- and I love it. Illustrator Ben Hansen created an amazing front cover image, don't you think? It's about the same temperature as the novel!

I've changed publishers! Dollison Road Books will be handling my books from now on. In order to facilitate their new vision for my work, HOW NOT TO CRY IN PUBLIC and THE WISE MEN can no longer be purchased. The old titles can't be removed from GoodReads, but I hope you will come back and see the new editions as they are launched. Dollison Road Books has some wonderful new innovative ideas for my books that I know my readers are going to love. For more information, please go to http://DollisonRoadBooks.com.
