Welcome!

     Traffic to the blog has more than quadrupled over the past few days as a result of a big book giveaway I've done on Amazon. A lot of people read the book and then want to pop in to the blog here and look at pictures of the real people and places that I wrote about. If you haven't already, you can find those photos here.
     Several months ago, I wrote a two-part blog about the songs that I used as chapter titles in Feels Like the First Time. Those pieces were two of the best-received blogs I wrote last year, but now they are buried under months of other writing. So, I thought I'd re-post them here, just in case people that are just finding the blog this weekend are curious.
     I not-so-originally called that first blog Music From Feels Like the First Time. If you'd like to know more about why I chose the songs I did, click that link. As a moving tribute to a terrible 80's Charlie Sheen movie, I called the second half Music From Feels Like the First Time, Part Deux.
     If you read the book, you know how music moves me, and I did my best to explain exactly why I picked those songs. 
     By the way, Feels Like the First Time  is free for a few more hours on Amazon. I can never know for sure what the future will bring, but this is the last free promotion I have planned for this book.
     I will have a new short story coming out in the next week or so, called Lucky Man. This story is what came about when I sat down and tried to write an episode of The Twilight Zone. I'm pretty sure that's a formula for success, isn't it? Writing stories for a TV show that went off the air 40+ years ago? In any case, I really like the way it is turning out, and I love the cover for the story that my so-talented cover designer Linda Boulanger did. I'm eager to share it with everyone.
     Thanks for reading!
