There's a story behind every poem ever written and, given that the literary form is not known for generating big bucks even by the most gifted of poets, chances are strong that the raison d'etre behind most poetry has little to do with mercenary goals. This little book is no exception.About a year ago I thought I had written enough poems to fill a small second volume. However, I felt I needed one more entry, and one of a decidedly humorous nature. Several competent ideas occurred to me but I wasn't thrilled by any of them. On a morning walk with Maureen, my wife, our conversation drifted to a happy idea that energized me. I had found the premise for that additional poem. It had so much appeal for me that I decided that my title for this poem would make a perfect title for the entire book.
It's a crisp Saturday morning and John sneaks out of the kitchen with his coffee, Amazon Alexa and his Alexa Music Playlist Log Book so he can begin a day of woodworking projects he wants to finish before his Mom's birthday. He noticed her old bird feeder was looking a bit worn, so today's project is to make a new one for Mom. A week ago he added music to some of his existing playlists and with the help of this new prompted journal book, he added a bunch of new tunes. He made each list name distinctive so Alexa would not confuse the titles when he says "Alexa, play my playlist Garage Time" His new playlist "Garage Time" is very different from the one he made for after dinner this evening with his wife Lisa "Alexa, play my playlist Time for Dessert" - she's gonna love that one John was pleased with the music notebook because it gave him good ideas for new options and it reminded him of the names he made up for each playlist. Before the Amazon Alexa Music Log book arrived John would forget and keep playing the same playlist he could remember and that got old fast. He decided to find a better way to keep track of his over 25 great mashups and tune lists - and this log book is the perfect solution to this problem He even made one to get him pumped for Sunday football parties with his friends. Now, what were those birds in Mom's backyard? How big does this hole have to be? He should give her a ring and casually ask if the birds are up yet and figure this out. Measure twice, cut once his Dad would advise. And he can wish Mom good morning too. That's a good idea. Off to the kitchen to grab more coffee John gets the music started by saying "Alexa, play my playlist Garage Time" - Alexa responds, "Playing your playlist, Garage Time, on Amazon Music." John smiles as he hears the faint sound of Bon Jovi as he fills his coffee cup and prepares to call Mom. He'll play something different later - thanks to his new Alexa Music Playlist Log ------------------------------ Never listen to the same tracks over and over again from that one playlist you can recall. Listen to all the music you love by keeping track of all your amazing playlists with the Alexa Music Playlist log.

ALEXA MITCHELL is not the typical 14-year-old, she is the savior of the realm of Mankind. At least that is what BLUR a supernatural being from the realm of Aleris expects her to believe. But this is the last thing Alexa wants to hear. She is still on the road to her own self-discovery, so how in the world can she save millions of people? With magic Blur suggests, but there's just one problem, magic doesn't exist in Alexa's realm. Or at least she thought it didn't. Through Blur she discovers that magic not only exists, it was forbidden to be used in her realm ages ago. Still Blur and the powers that be of Aleris, expect Alexa to not only believe in magic but to awaken the use of magic in the realm of Mankind. Alexa feels overwhelmed by this unusual burden of expectation, but at the same time her curiosity to know more about her new destiny is too powerful to overlook. She soon discovers that she not only has the gift of magic within her, she could possibly be one of the most powerful wielders in the universe. As she embarks on this magical journey with Blur, they form a friendship that is key to helping Alexa connect with her powers. But her limits are tested as she goes up against creatures she never knew existed, and dark forces that can only be found in her worst nightmares. To save her vulnerable realm, she must stop the creatures of her nightmares from crossing over to establish dominion over its inhabitants. Just when she thought that was more than enough to deal with, she is informed that there is not much time left before her realm is breached. And in addition to learning how to connect with the magic within her, she also needs to find a time lord, a brute, a healer and a speedster to go on this journey with her. But convincing people that they are chosen to be a part of a magical journey in a realm without magic is a tough act to sell.
