SCBWI - THE BOOK

I'm pleased to announce that the 2017 edition of SCBWI's The Book will contain a new section entitled Copyright for Writers and Illustrators. Sample contracts will also be included with the article. Those samples are also available on this site.

More PDFs!

More PDFs from the Legal Issues in the Music Industry textbook have been added to the Downloads page. They include sample contracts & licenses, a description of the §106 rights & most importantly, the Four Roles in the Music Business. Impress your friends and fool your enemies by knowing the difference between the publishing and the label side of the business.

My first children's book


My first children's book
Otto the Octopus Goes to the Doctorpus is now available on Amazon.

Otto the Octopus loves doing everything a young octopus loves to do like skateboarding, riding his seahorse, searching for pirate treasure, ice skating (upside down) and swinging from the sea monkey bars.
He has 7 misadventures and breaks his legs, so he has to see the Doctorpus and the Sting-Radiologist who help him get better.
When his casts come off, physical therapy makes him stronger than before, so he can get back to playing tangleball and helping his mom cook minnow-stroni soup.
