    James O Born's Interests
GeneralWith Walking Money, James O. Born was hailed as "the real thing" by Elmore Leonard; Shock Wave was called "a constant blitz of action" (The Miami Herald); and with Escape Clause, Born was celebrated as "the best thing to happen to Florida crime writing since Elmore Leonard hit the Sunshine State" (Chicago Sun-Times). Now Born takes it to the next level with a remarkable novel of corruption, fraud, and the messy business of murder by explosives. Since returning from Bosnia, ATF agent Alex "Rocket" Duarte has been slowly reacclimating to life in South Florida. But when a gunrunner's car explodes, Duarte's life kicks into high gear in a high-profile hunt for what appears to be a serial bomber. Teamed up with a lawyer from the Department of Justice who herself is looking into possibly related bombings in Virginia and Seattle, Duarte crisscrosses the country, following the bomber and hoping to anticipate his next move, but as he peels away the layers of deception, the lines between friends and enemies begin to blur-and the results are explosive. -field of fire book jacket

Music,
Captures your soul,
Releases your unease,
Calms your mind.

Music, the universal language,
The melody speaks,
The melody moves,
The melody soothes.

When things just aren’t right,
When you want no one in your sight,
When all conversation seems to result in a fight,
Turn on the music.

When things are going wonderfully,
When your happiness is improving steadily,
When you’ve achieved something finally,
Turn up the music.

For music comes in many types,
With many variations,
Different melody, harmony, lyrics and more,
Music has many surprises in store.

Music
Evokes various emotions,
Makes you dance or makes you rest,
It’s essential to this crazy mess.

Hey, James. Just dropping by to say hi, and to give you a heads up on my blog. I use it for the sole purpose of posting my short stories. Perhaps there’s one you’ll enjoy.

Anyway, have a better one than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow.
