Character Snippets of The Prodigal Band Trilogy–Links to Posts on Omegabooksnet.com Site

The following links to the OmegaBooks website link to ‘character snippets’ from The Prodigal Band Trilogy articles by character are posted below. The actual citation from The Prodigal Band Trilogy is highlighted with a description of the character in play. The book chapter is also mentioned–the snippets come from one or more of the three-books-in-one (Battle of the Band, The Prophesied Band, The Prodigal Band). The characters in question are the six band members:

Erik, the singer-front man

Jack, the guitarist-band leader

Mick, the guitarist-producer

Tom, the drummer

Keith, the bassist

Bryan, the keyboard-synthist

Of course, there are other important characters–their women, managers-handlers, bad guys and evil spirits and good guys and good spirits.  But those snippets will have to wait.

Being a ‘Non-Conformist’ Author: You Don’t Always Have to ‘Follow the Script’

In the mid-1990s I joined a local far west Texas writer’s group called ‘Texas Mountain Trail Writers.’ While working on the first printed novel I would call Battle of the Band, I needed ‘tutoring’ so-to-speak on absolutely what had to go into the novel to make it a legitimate novel, to market and sell the thing–that is, get some literary agent to ‘sell’ it to a big time publisher. No literary agent came a-calling, so I had to do it myself.

And this was what I picked up in all of these discussions and even annual writer conferences, which I will now list:

The Reality of Why I Wrote My Books–I Had To.

Divine inspiration–something!–caused me to go outside within the beauty of star-surging sky around midnight in the early 90s and receive a “message” to finally get those rock band characters out of my head and onto paper, and then computer. God? Angels? Spirits? Because it was not the devil or demons–the devil or demons would not want me to create a trilogy about a rock band fighting evil (and, after a miraculous event in 1997, accept Christ as Savior!).
