Lunasa is an Irish folk music band–one of the best that I know. If you haven’t heard of them, you should check them out. I mean, at the very least, check out Kevin Crawford’s mad whistling: Crazy! Sometimes, when I wonder what I should do after I graduate, I get these starry eyed dreams of… Continue reading I <3 Lunasa

Climax (thank you Ennio Morricone)
Just passed the major climax in the middle of Bringing Stella Home. In a moment that I hope is as poignant to the reader as it was to me, I…well, let’s just say I’m glad I’m not my main character. I hit the climax doing a 1,765 word sprint, with this song playing on repeat:… Continue reading Climax (thank you Ennio Morricone)
Battle scenes are HARD

Genesis Earth soundtrack
Hey, Charlie made a soundtrack of my novel, Genesis Earth. Yay! First fan inspired creation! Anyway, here it is:
“You do watcha gotta do for Rock ‘n Roll, ya know?”
Check this out. Apparently, back in the 80s, U2 randomly decided to put on a show on the roof of a liquor store in the middle of LA. A free show. They played one of their best songs, “Where the streets have no name,” and then the police shut them down. This video is apparently… Continue reading “You do watcha gotta do for Rock ‘n Roll, ya know?”
