Interesing...
I suppose I should explain how I ended up here – close to 6000 miles from home...
Eight months after our final show at CSU, I left Fort Collins, to find something. I had no idea what, but I had the most bizarre and persistent feeling that I was supposed to be somewhere other than where I was – even if I had no idea where, or why. So one afternoon, with a backpack, a credit card, and my passport, I got on a plane.
I ran away – not the way I had intended, but ran away none the less. I'd meant to just leave – no warnings, no discussions, just get up one morning, and go.
But, I sorta got busted in the act of sneaking off...

More Teasing!
Then... in the middle of my 'moment', Courtney pops into my head, and although I expect pangs of guilt to begin jabbing me – they don't.
Thing is, I'm not in love with Courtney, and I know that. And, according to my dad, she knows it too.
I am... and have always been, very much in love, with Emma Greene – regardless of what we may have 'decided', years ago.
"Sometimes, Stanley Campbell," I mumble to myself, as I sit down at my desk, "you can be such a huge dweeb..."

Begain Again
I've decided I'm going to try to keep up with teasing you on this release. But... keep in mind that unless you've read the first two books, some of this may not make sense ;-)
This morning, a group of orchestra members are discussing our next performance – a fundraiser to help a local private school. As I listen, I'm scanning the suggested playlist, when something catches my eye.
"Say... isn't this," I ask, tapping on the page in my hand, "a song from the Batman movie?"
Martha laughs, and says, "It was part of the soundtrack, yes, but it wasn’t written for the movie."
As I stand, reading the music, out of nowhere, a thought pops into my head. I turn to the nearest computer, do a quick search, and once I find what I'm after, smile, and turn to the others.
"What are we doing about the lyrics?"
"We intend to perform it instrumentally. Why?" Martha replies.
"Guys, I have the most amazingly crazy idea..."

December 15th!!
Begin Again
is available on 15 December!
Here's a teaser!
"Four years, Stanley – it's been just more than four years since the two of you 'broke up'. I know what I said the day I 'lectured' the four of you, right after she left, but this has gone past all that. When are you going to quit screwing around, and do what needs to be done?"
"We’ve been over this, Dad... repeatedly. I can't make her do anything. No one except Emma, can make Emma do anything."
"Good point, son. But you can damn sure make Stanley do something..."
New GIVEAWAY (Christmas Special) coming on Dec 1! Watch for it!

A discussion about the stories (I hope), their creation, and anything else the readers want to talk about. And... maybe some teasers for each of the following books? Eventually... we'll have to discus
