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 »

Fun, fun, fun! I truly loved this! What a treat! Murder in Manhattan is a fun 1920s romp that gives you the feel of the period - fashions, nightclubs, bootleggers, and murders, too, all experienced by a witty young fashion writer. Even better, Mulhern ...more |

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.
