Juicy News and Revelations

New song! Earth Has a Fever available at cdbaby!

Marilyn wrote a new song:  "Earth Has a Fever"  and it's not available at www.cdbaby.com/cd/marilynruckerandtheearth

Half of the proceeds from sales of the song will go to the wonderful Climate Buddies nonprofit, which is working to fight and ameliorate climate change.  C'mon, it's only .99 to help save the world, and you get a good song in the bargain! 

Sax and the Suburb won a Book Readers' Appreciation Group (B.R.A.G.) award for excellence!

Sax and the Suburb, which is now up on Amazon in kindle form and on the Barnes and Noble site on Nook, just won an award from the good people at B.R.A.G. They tell me this means that their readers and editors unanimously approved it as a good read! Woohoo! If you haven't read it yet, it's a mystery novel involving a community band, with a saxophonist sleuth named Miranda trying to solve who's trying to kill her fellow bandmembers! There's some snicker worthy moments, I guarantee it.
