Throughout they day they encounters car theft, rumbles and drag races but that's the least of their problems. As everything seems to be falling apart they are forced to face the hard facts of life - things change and perhaps were never really what they seemed in the first place. This is a story not about chasing the light but running away from the dark.

The Devil on Kazoo
The Crumbs have three things in common: they're orphans, they're criminals, and they hate wearing shoes. The Crumbs don't consider themselves to be criminals because music should not be a crime. Their radio station is only illegal because the BBC won't play what the people want, after all. But for the four teenagers living on a rickety boat off of London's shore in 1967, music is more than just what comes out of the speakers. It's the very air they breathe and the rhythm their hearts beat to. But when a new youth-operated radio moves into the city and immediately threatens The Crumbs' business, it means war. The Crumbs must pull together and do whatever it takes to save their radio station or risk losing everything they've ever worked for. But what exactly are they willing to sacrifice in order to keep their boat from sinking?Complete
Laura's Illusion
The story is about a young woman who moves to Chicago to start a career and new life. She keeps running into a young man who is himself on the verge of a breakout career in the music business. From the moment they meet their lives are never the same again. But...are they really together or is it just an illusion? Inspired by music of AVA. Note this was my first book started in 2012 finished 2014. It's comical to look back on this silly story. Because it started me into writing I felt the need to share it...I'm painfully aware of how it reads. I'm fond of the beginning but very thankful of how much I've grown as a person in the last decade.Complete
