This download is complete cover to cover including the beautiful and whimsical art by Jon Griffin. Part memoir, interview, deep thought and research, The Cosmic Path to Melody and Lyric is a personal look at creativity in songwriting, from a songwriter's mind, the minds of some other songwriters, research and just plain pondering. How do people pull songs out of thin air? Is there a Cosmic stream that we all cast our lines into, or do you just stand there waiting for a good one to jump into your bucket? I do not promise to answer any questions, but I do open some doors to consider and wonder. For more on the content and some of the illustrations, Click "The Cosmic Path" on the menu.

The Hurricane Line is a blue collar novel, a tragic comedy based loosely on factory that was once in Arkansaw. This story is based on true occurrences and splattered with fiction. It's about outsourcing and it revolves around the lives of several close knit factory workers plotting to save their jobs. A somewhat grotesque but happy ending. Loaded with music, comedy, tears, and tangents. Working on the final edit.
