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 »

| Nothing like a wedding to bring out the best in everyone. And in this second of the series, everyone is at each other's throats, which of course leads to murder. Plenty of suspects, I mean a LOT of suspects, which sometimes felt like it was going aro ...more | |

| Nothing more fun than a small, close-knit village full of everyone sticking their nose in everyone's business... and murder. This was a fast read; lots of interesting characters, and good twists that keep you changing your mind on who the evil culpri ...more | |

| An interesting take on the Medieval period where the church ruled and the worship of "relics" offered indulgences and time off purgatory or forgiveness. And where did the relics come from? Well, bought and sold like anything else, and the implied war ...more | |

The Manning Sisters: The Cowboy's Lady / The Sheriff Takes a Wife
by Debbie Macomber (Goodreads Author) |

| Not a bad read, though not my usual. Typical romance with a pari of opposites panting over each other, avoiding and not avoiding each other, and of course falling for each other. A decent story though I liked her series of books set in the village mu ...more | |

| Not a bad story but... the writing is why I downgraded this and usually don't do that. All telling, little dialogue and action. It took a whole (too long) chapter before there were actually a few lines of dialogue. I was intrigued by the story itself ...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. I look forward to your comments!Blessings,
