HOWL SWEET IT IS!! “The Wolf’s Moon” by Patrick Jones NEW #AUDIOBOOK RELEASE FROM #AUDIBLE #ACX!
NEW RELEASE AT ACX AUDIBLE! BUY NOW!!
The Wolf’s Moon by Patrick Jones has been on the market for the past three years and is still holding it’s own.
I sent copies to my brothers only to find out unless there are pictures with the words, well…you can imagine the rest.
Then, I met a fourth grade teacher who told me she no longer had time to read novels anymore. Rachel said she did miss that part of her life, but her kids came first-as well they should.
My plight was how to reach people who just did not read for whatever the reason.
After spending some hours talking with my wife, she suggested that we again look into an audio book.
Since I am a self-published author, the cost of putting the book on CD was out of the question.
HOW MUCH?? O M G!My wife, Sandy, suggested that we look into the possibility of an audiobook online. After all, one can read a book using a computer or a notebook, so why not to listen to one?
After quite a bit of researching, the company ACX Audible (owned by Amazon) was the choice. We were even allowed to pick the voice of the narrator.
Mark Westfield was the man picked for the job – and a great pick he turned out to be!
Mark Westfield, NarratorHe worked long and hard hours turning out what is now the finished product. Mark’s work is excellent!
It is one that I hope you truly enjoy.
Saying all of that, I know from your emails that you are all patiently waiting for the next installment of The Linden Chronicles.
Good news for my valued readers. Last night, the editing the newly copyrighted short novel, The River, was finished. Cover reveal to follow soon…stay tuned.
We hope that within the next three weeks it will be out for your reading enjoyment!
So you know, I started what was to be another short story but it took on a life of it’s own.
It now sits at over 70,000 words (without revisions).
The sequel to The Wolf’s Moon is well underway.
Well my friends, this is the update.
Continue to follow my website, The Linden Chronicles, for the latest news and many other items of interest.
One more thing: Thanks to all for the kind words, thoughts and all of your prayers.
It has been a rough three years, but you guys made it better!
To all of you, many thanks and love,

The Big Band Era
Great blast from the past! My son’s football team coach encouraged the kids to swing dance and as community services went to different events. This also provided great exercise for the players!

Swing was a verb that musicians used long before press agents turned it into a noun or adjective to describe both an attitude toward music and a special way of performing it. “Swing” suggests rhythm and a regular propulsive oscillation, a form of jazz that is still influencing music today. There are many instruments reinforcing the others, then other times, playing against each other and a solo instrument playing against a background. The jazz form traveled north out of New Orleans in the 1890’s and slammed into the Chicago scene in the 1920’s.
Fletcher Henderson
The beginnings can be traced back to Fletcher Henderson in New York and Bernie Moten in Kansas City. Fletcher and his brother Horace created the pattern for swing arrangements and was the first to train a big band…
