When I published my first novel, 'Slammed,' I included lyrics at the beginning of each chapter from one of my favorite bands, The Avett Brothers. The overwhelmingly positive response from readers to those lyrics really surprised me. ”

Every single person that spent a few bucks to buy a book that I wrote deserves a big thank you from my whole family. ”

I'm very passionate about music and was excited to see that the majority of readers loved the inclusion of lyrics. ”

With the advancement in e-reading technology, I was curious if it were possible for readers to be able to hear the actual songs while reading the book. I contacted Amazon and discussed the idea with their Kindle team, and they were very enthusiastic about it. ”
