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 OF BARRY MANILOW.

My previous story, "Wildfire," is based on the old favorite song of the same name, and appears in the anthology, (I JUST) DIED IN YOUR ARMS: CRIME FICTION INSPIRED BY ONE-HIT WONDERS.

Such fun writing these! I'm looking forward to reading the new anthology too and hope you enjoy the stories! Put on an album/CD or stream while you read!
