“You can't fall in love with a man for who he is, and then expect him to change. Just love him, and if he's worth his salt, he'll give you what you need and be the man you need him to be.”

“It's amazing how we push against things, things that in our depths we know we want, we know are good for us, yet we continue to deny ourselves with a conviction unmatched. Maybe we do it because we don't think we deserve that one true, good thing. Are we worthy? It's the most extraordinary thing, to embrace the life you never saw yourself living." -Harley LeBeau, The Boots My Mother Gave Me”

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

“My sixth grade sex education class quickly came to mind, and I wondered why masturbation was discussed when addressing the adolescent male, but not mentioned once in the 'normal' sexual development of the adolescent female. Go figure. Boys got masturbation. We got our period!" - Harley LeBeau, The Boots My Mother Gave Me”

Cover Reveal for my latest contemporary romance novel, Let It Go, this Wednesday, March 13th on TotallyBookedBlog. Hope you'll stop by: http://totallybookedblog.com/
RELEASES March 25th on Amazon Kindle
VIGILARE - book #1 in my supernatural adventure trilogy is FREE today (March 6th) on Amazon Kindle. http://www.amazon.com/Vigilare-ebook/...
"Vigilare walks the line between a thriller and a supernatural adventure while safely anchored in a scientific discourse around blood that James put together so well that it's reminiscent of a Douglas Preston or Michael Crichton novel. With action, romance, a strong female hero and a likable group of characters, Vigilare reads like a good action movie." -Gabino Iglesias
If so inclined, let me know what you think with a review :) Happy Hump Day!

Hi Johnny! I will check out your tunes. I have to say this is the first time I have combined my songwriting with writing a book. I've heard of it a few times where author/singer/songwriter types will combine an album with a small book of short stories, poems, and stories behind the music. However, as far as a music soundtrack to a mainstream fiction, I think mine may be one of a kind currently. It only seemed natural to me.
This particlar book is semi-autobiographical about my experiences with an abusive childhood. Music and writing were my outlets. When I started writing the book, it was creative therapy (cheap therapy:)) in action for me. I went into this creative phase where all I wanted to do was write. Sometimes it was chapters in the book, other times it was songs. Therefore, it's my belief that the two were conceived from the same vein, so to speak, and that's why it seemed only natural to release them together. It was just there. Parts of the book and the characters inspired the songs, while some of the songs inspired the book and the characters. For instance, I wrote the track Jeremiah Johnson in 2008. It left such a massive impression on me that subconsciously, he became my lead male character in the book in 2010. They really go hand in hand, representative of my creative box at that time.
I'm writing my next novel, a mystery/suspense, Vigilare...and it will not have a soundtrack because it would be out of place for the context and my musical style. As for your original question, the concept of combining the two works great, when it's meant to be. I think if it comes natural to you and feels "right," then it's golden. But to try and make one fit into the other, I think that pulls away from the originality.
Looking forward to checking out your music! Cheers!
Hi Brooklyn, Like yourself I am a working musician and an author. I noticed that you do combo book signings with your music. How does that work out. I have my original songs on Reverbnation, an excellent independent music site, I'm listed as {Jersey] Johnny Flora. Does the concept of combining the two art forms work well.....Thanks Johnny
