My best friend's latest novel was released this week.
MARLEY by Jon Clinch
Jon and I played/sang together in bars around Syracuse and Utica, NY from the age of 17.
He is one of America's premier writers.
His writing has the flow and feel of the very best songwriters.
Every line counts. Every word matters. It is ultimately lyrical.
It is done with a craft so well honed that you don't "notice" just how well crafted it is.
Like fine songwriting. The "writing never gets in the way".
It sings.
Buy a copy.
Writers face many of the problems (with drying revenue streams) that songwriters face today.
They need all the support they can get (and deserve).
