About Me
My Beginnings
I've always wanted to have my own business. So often I've heard the phrase;
"Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life".
Music has been a great part of my life from an early age. My first instrument was the accordion. Just after high school I taught myself how to play the guitar. I was fortunate to get into a blue grass band with a group of friends.
The Full Moon Express was together for almost 25 years.
I started playing the piano in my early twenties and began to write my own music. I released and self-published my Castle of Dreams Acoustic Solo Piano CD in 2009.
Full Moon Express
My first self-published music project was for the band "Full Moon Express, with the CD entitled "Memories of the Past". The process of getting the CD self-published required a lot of time and research to complete.
The Next Phase
For the most part music was a hobby, my full time gig was working in the field of Information Technology, mostly in operations and support roles.
As the internet and social media grew I wanted to test the waters and put my music out there. Self-Publishing was the most logical step.
When someone found my piano music on the Internet and mentioned that their daughter starting dancing to the song Blue Butterfly. I realized that I had written a ballet.
The Castle of Dreams solo piano music grew into a chapter book series for mid-grade readers. Children making the transition from picture books to chapter books. Currently there are two book in the Castle of Dreams series.
I wrote the first book in order to tell the choreographer the story behind the music.
