Here are eight sentences from my current WIP, ONCE MORE FROM THE TOP, due for release later this summer. When we last left Maestro Liam Reilly, he had just discovered a photo on the bulletin board of the marina where he’d docked his boat for the summer—the face in the picture looked hauntingly familiar.
