MYSTERY AND MUSIC
High stakes mysteries with original music composed from the storyline
About the Author
It all started with music for me. After years of singing and playing music by the creative giants of the past several decades, I began writing my own songs. Most song lyrics tell a story, and after singing so many of those stories, I got the idea to write my own stories about a world that's often misunderstood: the music business!
​
Today's journeyman musicians have to be savvy and hardworking to survive. They're passionate and ambitious. The Liz Hanlon series takes readers inside the lives of singer-songwriter Liz Hanlon, and dozens of creative characters, offering a close-up of the actual songwriting process, and live performances. Hear the songs they write and perform on each book's "SOUNDTRACK," or chose individual songs or books from the download links above.
