  • Dusky Blues

    Logic Pro recently had a tiny but big update – tiny in that it was just the addition of new sounds and big because it affected the entire sound library. While browsing the sound library I discovered the “Dusky Blues” sound pack and just had to what I could come…

  • Just Another Dude #NaPoWriMo

    This April marks the 30th anniversary of National Poetry Writing Month. When I signed with my literary agent for my novel Real Women Wear Red, she told me that my writing was “poetic, almost lyrical” and I wondered what that meant so I started exploring poetry and songwriting. When I…
