Albert Einstein once said, “I see my life in terms of music.” Author Ian Shane has taken that philosophy and turned it up to 11. Growing up in a house filled with audiophiles, he has always loved music. It has been the centerpiece in every significant (and often insignificant) moment in his life. Jobs and people come and go, but music is the one constant in his life. Through forty-six songs from his collection, Ian curates the soundtrack of love interests, his battle with depression, and tracks shared with old friends and family. Sundry Notes of Music is a collection of essays: part journal, part confession, part manifesto, and all heart.
Ex-jock Jack and socially awkward Liz weren’t likely to become best friends, but they’ve had each other’s back since college. On a night both of their romantic lives implode, they make a pact; if they aren’t married in ten years, they will marry each other. With a year left before their deadline, Jack and Liz make a mad dash to find “The One” while navigating a minefield of modern dating complications. Despite their friends’ efforts to convince them that it’s a terrible idea, Jack and Liz devise an unconventional life partnership plan. However, a face from the past and hidden jealousies and feelings neither one will ever admit threaten their friendship.
What do you do when you hate your job, your wife just left you, and you’re amid a crushing mid-life crisis? Recreate your college radio station on the Internet, of course. Or at least, that’s what Danny thought. Now he’s finding it’s not so easy to go home again. In addition to the stress of speaking at a beloved professor’s retirement ceremony, he must juggle rivalries and romances from the past, along with modern complications, as he tries desperately to keep the wheels from falling off. For Danny, the only way forward is to go back in time. He uses the music of his youth as the liner notes to his finest hours, his most heartbreaking moments, and quite possibly, the road map of his future.

Erik rethinks his priorities when he meets a beautiful local singer/songwriter named Myra. As WLAM’s new owners are turning the station into his worst nightmare, an old friend makes Erik an offer he can’t refuse.
