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!

Veronica Myler and Lucy Merritt were seated on either side of him, as his right and left hands. Edwin Grackle, a longtime Society member and not at all coincidentally a local police detective, had been granted a seat at the table and sat opposite him. Like most in the room, however, Grackle couldn’t even begin to guess the Society’s true motives in finding Gavin Young.
