Muse

A "Love & Gospel Music" novel

By: Timothy Blaine

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

"Muse" is the third novel in Timothy Blaine's "Love & Gospel Music" series. The story centers around a frustrated, under-read, novelist and his relationship with a talented young singer he meets on a subway concourse in San Francisco. This person, this muse, sets our protagonist off on a wild adventure into a new city, a different kind of writing, murder, mayhem, his own complicated psyche, and the world of gospel music. "Was it soprano? No soprano is a woman’s range, I did know that much. Maybe it was some kind of rare tenor or falsetto, I couldn’t quite put my finger on it and I couldn’t for the life of me figure why a dude with a voice like that seemed obsessed with performing church music. Perhaps, the gospel angle was simply a calculated ploy to loosen the purse of burned out, ‘alms for the poor,’ weary pedestrians as they rushed by making a conscious effort to not make eye contact with the cities beggars." This kid was no beggar. - And meeting him was no accident. - Who was he? - More to the point, what did he want?
