I've a few favorites in every genre of music except for country & western, elevator music, and classical guitar. My all time favorite is the choral version of the fourth movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. Then I like Kid Rock's sound too.

Frank Creed is one of my favorite people. He has a heart for God and is, in my opinion, one of a new generation of spiritual warriors.
M.L. Tyndall, Historical Romance Author
Frank is an amazing author committed to encouraging others and a whiz at conquering cyberspace for book marketing purposes.
Grace Bridges, Science Fiction Author
And for your entertainment, more endorsements are found in this video:
Frank is part-owner of The Finishers, manuscript evaluation services ranging from ghostwriting to mentoring. He's penned Flashpoint: Book One of the Underground (TWCP, 2007) and War of Attrition, Book Two of the Underground (TWCP, 2009), has several short stories and one novella included in Christian and secular anthologies. He is a freelance non-fiction writer (whose portfolio is profiled at Associated Content), presenter and speaker.
Besides literary criticism, Frank's speaking topics include crisis career-change, parenthood, internet dating, and life with a closed-head injury. Frank is also the founder of the Lost Genre Guild, a group devoted to the promotion of Biblical speculative fiction.
Can't forget the Flashpoint video . . . also for your viewing enjoyment:

I've not kept up here since a hospital stint in late spring, and now we're packing, and moving.
From Lafayette Indiana to the East Vancouber, BC, Canada.
Driving about 3000 miles in a U-Haul and our car.
With many housecats.
HELP!
I'll be back...

Hey, did you catch the number of times Obama got PWND in the pilot episode for the new V series? I nearly fell on the floor laughing.  Also, guess what song they had for the TV promo: "Uprising" by Muse. Coincidence? ;)

Hey, Frank, how are you doing? Haven't heard from you for a while. No doubt a result of your recent move.
I don't know if you've heard about this or not, but Brandon Barr and I recently sold another novel, which he hope will come out in February. One of the things we are doing is looking for authors who'd be willing to read the story and give us a one or two line endorsement of the book (providing they like what they read) we can put on the inside cover. Our novel is similar to "Flashpoint," which suggests to us you'd like our story.
If this sounds interesting, you can e-mail me back and I will give you a synopsis so you know what you're getting into, or choose to decline. My e-mail address is: lynchm@esuhsd.org.
Mike
