Cole contacted me to ask if I had a story I could submit that more or less fit the theme. As it happened, "Red Eye" was a great match to one of the songs he was considering. I'm proud to be in this collection, alongside so many other great authors.<br /><br />The characters in "Red Eye" haven't appeared anywhere else, but who knows? They might!<br /><br />On the subject of the blues, I want to publicly thank Cole for the help he gave me on another story I wrote recently, for an anthology focusing on menages and music. I asked him for suggestions about iconic blues songs - the touchstones of the musical genre. I love listening to the blues but I'm very far from an expert. "Wild About That Thing" was the result of Cole's assistance, a story about a blues club in New York that is one woman's dream. It will be published this September by Total-E-Bound.<br /><br />Thanks, Cole!!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-57497924008834130872011-06-11T00:27:29.235-04:002011-06-11T00:27:29.235-04:00I was thinking of a postcard I recieved from a Car...I was thinking of a postcard I recieved from a Caribbean writer which quoted James Baldwin:<br /><br />"It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive or who had ever been alive."<br /><br />And that is the essence of the blues. The feeling that make you act a fool, the feelings that touch your heart, the feelings that twist your soul.<br /><br />When you read Too Much Boogie, you go to that place. It's like going to a blues festival.writerrfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718787347603614757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-25849238552043721472011-06-11T00:17:05.889-04:002011-06-11T00:17:05.889-04:00Also, the collection's power comes from the en...Also, the collection's power comes from the energy of forbidden sex, secrets, and betrayals, which are all things that comprise the blues.writerrfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718787347603614757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799451507801345644.post-90088747684382573422011-06-11T00:14:34.657-04:002011-06-11T00:14:34.657-04:00I recommended a scene, a theme or a song.

And Kevin added that mojo flavor that really seasoned the collection.<br /><br />Not forget Alicia, who is an incredible writer.
