  1. Thank you for stopping and liking today’s post. Your choice of books is impressive. To Kill a Mockingbird is an all time favourite of mine. The social justice message that emerged out of it is incredibly important to me. Also, we share a love for Mumford and Sons. I had the opportunity to see them on Austin City Limits recently.

    I look forward to being part of the caravan.

    Take care,

    Ivon

    • I Appreciate it, Ivon. Welcome. After I read “To Kill A Mockingbird,” it was obvious why it won a Pulitzer. That realization was quickly shadowed when I learned it was her only novel. Although maybe that adds to it in some way. Ah, you’ve seen them in concert. I wish I could say the same. They’re at the top of my “to see” list.

  4. Thank you for taking the time to browse my blog! I admire your musical tastes in Mumford & Sons and Gregory Alan Isakov. The photo you have at the top of this page is magnificent as well – so inspirational! Would love to swap novels some time when yours gets moving.

    • Isakov was one of the best musical discoveries I’ve made, and most recently, Ben Howard falls into that category as well. I’m glad you like the picture 🙂 It was taken in the Austrian Alps…absolutely breathtaking.

      Wow thanks for the book-swap offer. I think I’ll take you up on that at some point. What’s the gist of your novel?

      • I listened to Isakov a lot when working on my series (which I temporarily put on hold), especially during the emotional scenes. I came up with the ending scene of the main character burning down his house because of the song “If I Go, I’m Goin'” – it was bittersweet of leaving behind everything they knew but also the hope for a better future.

        Anyways, here is the gist of my current WIP (I currently have about 13,000 words): One year ago, the small, quiet town of Roscoe, Ohio was subjected to a horrific crime and it hasn’t been the same since. When homecoming queen Alice Halls was murdered in the high school weight room, the townsfolk and investigators are left wondering who could have killed this beautiful, innocent girl. Now a year later, Candace Callihan is covering the vigil of Alice as the editor-in-chief of the high school newspaper, The Beholder. The story doesn’t mean much to her until she has a stunningly vivid dream of who killed Alice. She tries to blame it on a tired sub-conscious but the more vivid they get every night makes her wonder if they could hold some truth. But what should she do when these dreams show that she is the killer? With a new detective in town poking around, a heartless new girl vying for her editor position, and a stud boyfriend quickly tiring of her escalating paranoia, Candace must race to put the clues together to solve the case or submit to the painstaking conclusion that she could be a murderer.

      • Wow, I’m intrigued and already interested in reading it. I look forward to a swap. When I double my word count I’ll be ready. It might serve as good motivation to write, as well 🙂

        Also, I’m not surprised you chose “if i go, i’m goin” for that one scene. The song is almost mournful, and still there’s something beautiful about it.
