As my novel wends its way through the publication process, I've come up with a sweet little playlist to go along with the book. Have a listen!

While You See a Chance by Steve Winwood. Released February 1981.
Yes, the novel is set in 1981 - 40 years ago! Great music from that time, at least I think so. And MTV launched on August 1 of 1981, so you can witness the infancy of some of these music videos.
I will provide teasers about the book and its characters throughout the coming months, leading up to the release of what will be my 10th novel (and 11th book), and the final (really ) book set in my beloved Switzerland.
