New Maroon 5 Album!

If you like Maroon 5 as much as I do, then you will pleased to learn (if you didn't already know) that the band has released an album of remixes. Tracks include the version of "If I Never See Your Face Again" with Rihanna, remixed by Paul Oakenfold; and new versions of "This Love," "Goodnight Goodnight," "Shiver" (such an underrated song!), "Makes Me Wonder," "Wake Up Call," and more. The album is called Call and Response.

Little-known fact about Maroon 5 and Erin O'Riordan: lead singer Adam Levine's appearance in Instinct magazine, and the suggestion that guys might like to get him drunk and try to make out with him, inspired my short stories "Bat Mitzvah" (accepted by BENT ) and "The Hope" (my entry in the Oysters & Chocolate fiction contest . . . more on that to come).

If you would like more insight into the mind (and literary accomplishments) of O'Riordan, please visit www.aeess.com. The site is recommended for readers 18 + only. Of course, I would love it if you would also check out my romance novel, Beltane, at www.eternalpress.ca/beltane.html . You can get your copy for only $5.95, with NO shipping and handling costs!
