I love the west coast, particularly California!  Each time I visit I bring back a boat load of story       ideas. Ebb Tide is the result of one of those California trips and a ride down the Pacific Coast Highway sealed the deal.  Imagine pulling over onto a shoulder and that (see pic) is your view!  Cali was definitely going to be the backdrop for my story about a self-made, adventurous playboy and his unique relationship with his straight laced attorney.

      Let’s see…light, crisp, contemporary jazz inspired me for this one.  On the surface Griffin and Evan have a light and breezy relationship.  Listening to Najee, David Sanborn, Paul Hardcastle,  and Boney James while cruising down that scenic highway is sublime.  These are a few of the songs that helped me bring clarity to Griffin and Evan.
