Wow! Thanks so much for writing this book. Of all the books/info I’ve gathered on melody/song writing this one knocks it out of the park. I’m inspired and have a half written song that now I have more tools and techniques I am excited to complete my song and put writing as a top item on my daily to do list. The narrator on the audio book version was fantastic. Thank you. Cheers, Steph

Excellent and inspiring
