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

Information, he knew, was the most valuable commodity that existed in the new century. Perhaps it would serve them equally well in 1977. He quickly located the laptop bag and set it on the floor beneath the window sill. Moving to the laptop, he loaded Website Extractor, a research tool capable of autonomously downloading huge amount of data from the Web, and programmed it to find everything it could relating to Carthage circa ‘75 to ‘81.
