Music

Both my books make reference to various songs. For example, where Fleetwood Mac's Rumours is mentioned in Marianne! I wanted to include a few lyric lines from Stevie Nick's song Dreams, but in a book this is dangerous territory for copyright reasons and only song titles can be used. On the web they're freely available anyway, so here they are:

But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness
Like a heartbeat.. drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost...
And what you had...
And what you lost

I know author websites are supposed to have an 'about me' section, but I would rather skip that and let my books speak for themselves.  Thanks to YouTube though, I can at least point to some of the music which shaped me in my youth. The Toni Childs song, fuzzy and out of sync though it is, remains the one I want played at my funeral.

If you are past the first flush of spring-chickenhood, I hope these will bring back memories for you as well...  :)
