Acoustic folk/pop artist Tom Horn and I used to play together in a musical collective called the Rock Rangers. Sometimes we sing backing vocals on each others' tracks. That's Tom you can hear on One Down and Four Up (2007). You can hear me singing backing vox on his track Dog Day (2007) here: http://www.myspace.com/tomhornsongs. I love this song.

I'm working on a collaboration project with an aspiring author I met on MySpace in late 2006. Mark L Berry is in the final rewrite stages of his forthcoming novel Pushing Leaves Towards the Sun. In the novel, the protagonist, Lindy B Huskador, is a songwriter and her lyrics are integral to her emotional recovery after the death of her boyfriend.  I've written and recorded the music for two of the songs, "One Down and Four Up" and "From a Long Way Away", which we plan to include as a CD single within the novel.

The project has been evolving over time and I am now in the process of writing the music for the remaining seven songs, which we plan to launch as the 'soundtrack to the novel'. New versions of the aforementioned two songs, and a drum solo, will also be included.
