Here's what Diane Donovan of the Midwest Book Review had to say about my latest book:
“Captivatingly dynamic, enhanced by lovely illustrations that bring these tunes to life, and thoroughly engrossing (no matter what the reader's musical inclinations), For a Song is highly recommended. It ideally will appear in every arts collection where music history is featured, and many a general-interest library. It's that wide-ranging, appealing, and attractive.”

Enhanced with an array of original illustrations, this highly amusing glimpse into Bayshore beach life has many tales to tell: a stray piece of real estate simply known as “The Wedge”, a sunken sign, one of the oldest forms of writing, the eternal search for lima beans, and a man who used the wedge to establish complete authority on any subject. It received an outstanding review from award-winning journalist Kevin Riordon of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Read about it here.
