Inspired by Chuck Miller's post today concerning a "theme song" for his character the Black Centipede, I decided to throw up my own here. I've mentioned this to a few friends before, but if I could give Challenger Storm theme-music it would be this piece (and please: listen to the whole thing and try your hardest to separate this adventurous tune from the obvious connections we've all come to make with it). There was many times while writing "The Isle of Blood" when I would turn to this music to give me a boost:

Christmas, Another Review, and Some "Stormy Weather"
A belated Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, from Challenger Storm and MARDL (and me, naturally). I hope the holidays were truly joyous and filled with wonder for you and yours.
Another review of "The Isle of Blood" is up over on Amazon.com, this time from reader Michael Brown. So far, I haven't heard anything too negative about the book... I guess I've done something right, and I'm glad to hear all the positive feedback for my debut work! Work continues (somewhat slower than it should be) on the follow-up...
Meanwhile, here's a tidbit for you: the version of "Stormy Weather" that Storm is listening to during the book's epilogue. Now, I didn't set out to make a pun or anything with the song's title, I just needed a song that would be popular and new during the year it was set (late 1933, to be exact) and wanted something with that melancholy feel that only old-records can provide. A quick search or two later and voila! I had my song. And I've loved the song from the first time I heard it.
