Harmonic Deception: Does a tragic childhood excuse murder?

I've been a Jazz and Pop singer-songwriter my whole life with a burning desire to write about the characters I encounter in and around the music business, along with how they interact with the world around us... which lead to a truth-based, and very personalized crime series called the Liz Hanlon Novel series. Titles include Harmonic Deception and High Notes Are Murder. The unusual thing about these books is that the reader gets in on the process of writing, and performing the actual songs, plus gets to hear them with my recordings that can accompany the books. On Stage is the latest CD, and the High Notes Are Murder Soundtrack goes with the book of that name. That soundtrack is free with the purchase of High Notes ARe Murder. My the third book--another one I just can't wait to write--will take readers into the car racing world, but Liz will still be performing live, struggling with that career thing, plus discover the love of her life...or so it seems in book three.

After performingfor many years, I developed the memorable character of Liz Hanlon, a talented young woman who faces adversity, financial hardships, and sometimes life-threatening situations to chase her dream of success through the labyrinth of the Los Angeles music scene. With plenty of high-stakes intrigue, the series sheds light on modern-day journeymen musicians and their aspirations. I'd say this series is for anyone who's chased their dreams and found self-awareness...along with a deadly kick.

As the new year approaches, I've learned that this series and its music (along with the potential for new music that will come about as the series develops) is being considered by Sony Pictures for a 3-pt TV series! So I'm so excited I can hardly describe it. !!
