My first children's book
20. 05, 16 16:04
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.

Finishing up the ancillary website for the Music Business Handbook and Career Guide by Tim Baskerville. This is the premier text in music industry studies, as is evident from its continuous publication since 1978. I'm grateful that SAGE Publishing Co. and Tim Baskerville approved my work for the 10th edition, and invited me to update the companion student website for the eleventh edition. Look for it in January of 2016.

Two Years Later

Two years ago we released the Complete Copyright Kit for Composers & Musicians, our first foray into e-publishing. Summer of 2008 saw the release of The Teacher’s Guide to Copyright in paperback, PDF, & Kindle editions. So, what’s next? I just finished the draft of Legal Issues in the Music Industry, based on the class I’ve been teaching at Loyola University since 2001. It covers copyright, music publishing, record labels, infringement, royalties, and a whole lot more. Unlike other books written by lawyers, it’s not boring. Keep tuned. - - - MJD
