The moon. A creator of stories, of life and of memories.
The title and the cover of my book Moon Rising are inspired by the Moon. I write about this awesome solar being in Hopeless Romantic, and again in Moonset.
A golden orb in its own world. Set out on display for everyone to enjoy no matter where they live.
The moon has been the topic of many songs, stories and poems. There are some that talk about it and many have the word in their titles.
A thought provoking topic, guiding me to make a list of some of some of my favourite pieces of music with moon in the title. Many come with memories of dancing miles (and miles) to its tune. Many a reminder of loved ones getting up from the table during a meal to take a turn around the kitchen. Singing the words while they maneuvered around the chairs. Music and the moon. What a combination!
