Pinyon Publishing and a great read!: The kind of stuff we read when we're not making music! Diane Marquart Moore and Isabelle Anders deliver "Chant of Death," a juicy read that Brenda describes as "blood, murder, drunk monks and the music industry, set in the swamps of south Louisiana...a few of my favorite things!"
