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

Why had she been so mean to Ben? She needed to be more understanding of his condition. She’d practically rubbed it in his face that she had a hot-and-heavy date tonight, and more or less treated him like dirt. She’d just been so angry when she’d walked into his dream. Seeing him making love to her doppelganger somehow left her feeling betrayed, but for the life of her she couldn’t really figure out why. Worse yet, why had it bothered her so much that he saw her as she really was and not as the hot fantasy chick she liked to portray in her dreams? She shrugged to herself, willing the thoughts from her head.
