About the book:
An unlikely duo meet in Play It Again, a story of love, life and faith. Sparks fly when an ex-rock and roll junkie and a stuffy accountant rendezvous at a local resort, but neither are prepared for the emotional entanglements, family complications, and threat from the past that unexpectedly resurfaces. Set in the 1980s, this story brings two opposing forces together in a clash of romance and danger, while its musical undertones highlight the theme that God can turn anything into beautiful music. Play It Again is the much anticipated prequel to Tracy’s debut novel And the Beat Goes On. Find out where Mark Graham’s journey began in this, the story of his parents.

What others are saying about Play It Again:
“This is one of the best contemporary novels I’ve read all year. . . Not only was it well-written, but it was edgy in that the story dared to be honest. . . I can see this touching a lot of people who have thought about God but have been afraid to move forward.”
- Michelle Sutton, author of more than a dozen inspirational novels
“This book is hot property, and grabs your interest from page one.”
- Yvonne Pat Wright, author of From Spice to Eternity

25 Years Ago Today: Talented New Mystery Author And Music Industry Insider Loni Emmert

I’d like to welcome Loni Emmert, one of my fellow authors at Mainly Murder Press. Loni and her sister P.I. Barrington, California natives, fell in love with New England during fall vacations in Maine and New Hampshire, which became the settings for their brand new co-authored mystery Button Hollow Chronicles #1: The Leaf Peeper Murders.

Loni has spent the last 25 years working in the music industry and writing press releases and magazine articles. She is a member of Sisters in Crime, Romance Writers of America, and writes articles on writing, reading and other related topics.

Congratulations on the new book! Tell us, Loni, what do you remember from 25 years ago?

LONI: Twenty-five years ago today, I was a newbie in the music industry working at the fabulous Island Records on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, California. Many hats were placed upon my head as our office was busy and small, all of which provided vast and varied learning opportunities for which I am forever indebted.

My favorite duties were working backstage at concerts for our artists including U2 and Robert Palmer (RIP) and handling artist relations, radio promotion and marketing tasks. I was extremely young and dumb, but those were some of the best times of my life even though there was a lot of work and some stress. Better to be anxious because you have to take a call from Bono than because someone in the drive-thru wants a burger.

Even as a novice I understood the enormity of having the opportunity to meet and work closely with so many incredibly talented musical artists. I’ve remained in the music industry ever since – long live rock.

If you’d like to ask Loni a question, please feel free to leave a comment. Visit her web site to find out more about her books. Also check out her new mystery novel on Amazon and at Mainly Murder Press.

Life in idyllic Button Hollow, New Hampshire, is beginning to unravel for Sheriff Jeff Ramsey. A series of suspicious deaths has the elderly members of the volunteer Citizens’ Brigade up in arms, and their zealousness is complicating the Sheriff’s already intricate investigation. His personal life is also threatened when his wife receives a tempting job offer in Boston. As Jeff attempts to solve Button Hollow’s mysterious crime wave and protect the Citizens’ Brigade members from themselves, he learns that beautiful fall foliage cannot hide the corruption that lies close to home, and protecting his beloved town’s citizens may prove easier than saving his marriage.
