Work on the newest CD, Love, Light, and Water, is complete. It's on its way to the manufacturing plant and is scheduled for radio promotion in June. Stay tuned for its availability at CDBaby, Amazon.com, iTunes, etc.

Out of the Darkness, Into the Light is a finalist in two categories of the 2007 NAR Lifestyle Music Awards. Winners are scheduled to be announced on March 8.

The New Age Reporter 2007 Lifestyle Music Award Nominations were announced today, and both Out of the Darkness, Into the Light and Another Day in Paradise have been nominated in four categories: Best Contemporary Instrumental Album, Best Electronic Album, Best Cover Art, and Album of the Year!

The NAR Top 100 List for November is out, and Another Day in Paradise ranks at #4 in its first month of promotion. That makes three CDs in a row that have ranked in the top 5, and that's inspiring me to work harder at creating more music.

Italian publisher, EMME K Editore, publishes a great magazine, New Age Wellness & Music and New Sounds. They interviewed me and featured a song from Songs of Hope and Healing ("Love Will Find a Way") in an earlier issue, and they included the tune on their CD Sampler. Now, they're going to feature one of the compositions from Out of the Darkness, Into the Light. It's a beautiful magazine, and really quite an honor. Now, if I only read/spoke Italian!

DigStation is another option for downloading music as individual tunes. You can find Another Day in Paradise here

Another Day in Paradise is now also available at Amazon.com and
iTunes, as well as CDBaby.com

The new CD has arrived and is currently available at CDBaby.com, with more locations to follow. Another Day in Paradise won't be released officially until November 1, but it's available now (just go to the "Store" page). Just in time for the holidays!
