Devoted to publishing, publishers and to those who craft the written word

As I told you before, I spend way too much time keeping my writing music fresh.

That's why I felt giddy when I discovered the band Rock Plaza Central yesterday. They combine everything I love in a gorgeous blend: storytelling, bluegrass music, the epic sweep of rock and roll and a small orchestra. On top of all that, the lead singer is a novelist.   

The band has created a bustling online community where you can check out songs or find shows on MySpace. They are role models for fledgling writers everywhere, and they make some beautiful noise.

You know you want to listen to this story: 

"The new record is all about robotic horses. Robotic horses who think they are real horses. For real. And in the end, the robot horses are going to give up on trying to figure out what they are and what they should be doing, and instead they decide to just ride off toward some lights they see in the distance, hoping that the lights will have the answers for them."
