This last Saturday, on June 27th, I got to meet one of my favorite musicians, Colbie Caillat! colbie1I’d included a reference to her and her song Never Gonna Let You Down in my novel Memories of a Ghost, and, when I learned she was coming to town, contacted her agent and told her about the book and asked if I drop off an autographed copy for Ms. Caillat. Instead, they invited me to meet her at the concert, where I could give her the book myself!

She seem genuinely excited to be mentioned in the novel, and said she thought it was “really cool.” She thanks me for the book and wished me luck, and then we were off to see the concert. (Which was awesome!)

It was a great night!

From Joe's writing

Mel’s face appeared on the screen. She was dreaming about high school again, walking naked through the hallways, looking for the class that she could never seem to find. Katy laughed, then pressed a pre-programmed button on the remote; Mel looked shocked as a pretty little Dianne Von Fursternberg wrap knit dress appeared around her naked form, and a pair of Jimmy Choo black satin mules formed around her feet. And, lo and behold, the very next door she tried was her home economics class.
