Music & Fiction - Crime Fiction Inspired by Barry Manilow and One-Hit Wonders
I'm a big music lover, always have something playing in the background, so it's not surprising that I've found it's even more fun to write stories based on, and inspired by, music!
My recent story, "Some Kind of Friend," is based on the song of the same name by that favorite singer, Barry Manilow! It appears in the just released anthology, A KILLING AT THE COPA: CRIME FICTION INSPIRED BY THE MUSIC Read more of this blog post »

| If you like your mysteries a bit spooky and a bit out of the norm, then this series is perfect. So glad I discovered these books with the unusual but effective Det. Pendergrast. I'm reading them in no particular order, so enjoying each one. This one ...more | |

| The past-present timeline was what attracted me to this. A very different story, rather weird, strange, yet somewhat compelling. A unique way to present the unusual aspect of anatomical models and prostitution in the 1700s. I knew of the models, but ...more | |

Hi Christine and I LOVE the cover of your book! How precious. Thanks for adding me as a friend. If you have time, I'd love for you to visit my web site, jeanniebarber.com. I'm a novice writer so feel free to make any kind of suggestions, ideas or thoughts to correct it. I’m co-authoring a novel with Patty Wiseman, another friend on Goodreads. We’ve known each other for over 30 years. While you're there, please sign the guestbook, too! There’s also a link to our novel clairkelley@synthasite.com. Please feel free to visit it, too.
