There is something magical about soulful crooning and the lyrics of rhythm and blues music from days gone by.
One line in a song could change your whole perspective on love and relationships.
Knowing that Freeman Thomas Books created THE R & B TRILOGY, a three book series of collaborative fiction titles with themes from one line in a soulful melody.
Lovers of classic soul music will remember the tune crooned by Teddy Pendergrass. Teddy sings “silly fool, how’d you lose such a good thing.”
What a powerfully introspective line, right? Silly fool, how'd you lose such a good thing?
Stories in this gathering of fiction authors will highlight good love gone wrong because of adulterous, neglectful, disregarding behaviors or similar situations which caused traumatic heartbreak and possibly violent outcomes. The twist is the bad guy is really questioning his or her motives and actions, and feeling somewhat remorseful. What does that lead to? You write it and then we'll know!
