Delays

Hi kids! Unfortunately, due to technical difficulties and time delays we are behind schedule. We are just finishing episode 5 and are up to Chapter 8. There are 14 episodes in total and podiobooks will post the book once 5 episodes are up, so here we go again. We hope to be done by early July. It takes a while to download and fill out all the information sheet that they require. In any case by this weekend the first 5 should be submitted so however long it takes them then to make the episodes go live and we should be up and running. Cross your fingers.

The Book

Ceil Clark is fed up with dating the twenty-something hipsters and slackers that litter the streets of Los Angeles nightlife like empty, discarded cans of Red Bull. Against the wise advice of her best friend, Lupe, she makes a pre-meditated decision to seduce, tag and bag her newest boss---Wayne Hayter; the cool and always collected thirty-something, corporate-loving, sports-car-driving, designer duds wearing, General Manager of the Porsche dealership where Ceil merely tolerates her
9 to 5 gig.

But when a deliciously cute, mysterious and vaguely wild-eyed musician by the name of Mason Philips begins to crop up almost daily in and around the parking lot adjacent to her job just to chat---Ceil is intrigued---though he is just ‘another loser in a garage band’. Suddenly, the stoic and unruffled Wayne Hayter has some serious competition to contend with almost before his flirtation with Ceil manages to get off the ground. But Mason Phillips---with his cheerful positive outlook, pit bull-like tenacity and an unwillingness to hear the word ‘no’--- has a couple of tricks up his sleeve to keep the ball in his court. By the end, Ceil’s only wish is to keep her hair from turning white before she has a chance to choose between her two dream suitors.

The Narrator

Born in Argentina, as an infant Anna Kelk and family immigrated to the United States. She grew up in downtown Los Angeles, was educated in Berkley, California, graduated from Phoenix University, and recieved her Masters from Victoria University of Wellington. Her background in the film and music industry is wide and varied; this includes showcasing bands and promoting live music events in the Southern California underground music scene, ie magazine 'Gotham' and working as an Assistant to the Art Dept- in the internationally acclaimed documentary "Ringers". Ms. Kelk now resides in Wellington, New Zealand with her husband.

The Inspiration

As an unpublished fiction writer who was once fully entrenched in the local L.A. music scene, I have written a humorous ‘Chick Lit’ romance that captures some of the out-of-the-ordinary people and events that I have met and experienced after many years of clubbing, drinking and debauchery. The novel is complete at 80,000 words and is titled “Crazy Gone Love”.

As I mentioned I have many years of Hollywood club crawling under my belt. Plus I was once the co-editor of alternative music magazine ‘Gotham’. I’ve worked briefly as a DJ under the moniker ‘Pebbles’ and I have organized local music shows with multi-band line-ups in the late eighties, one of those bands happened to be the pre-famous No Doubt, featuring a teenage Gwen Stefani on vocals. I have met many of my own personal rock heroes; everyone from punk saint Joe Strummer to neo-rockabilly legend Brian Setzer (incidents and names have been altered to protect me from the vengeful). I must stress that I haven’t any Pamela De Beers type experiences to reveal in a tell-all, but I do believe some of my experiences have been remarkable and possibly interesting to more than just me—possibly readers who have done a bit of night-clubbing, and can relate to the near-impossible search for love in such an atmosphere.
