I'm a writer: Songwriter, Poetry, new book published. Been in the music business since the mid 1970's, some friends are Barry Manilow, Robin Trower, Paul McCartney, Paul Freeman, John Footman and scores of A&R from Warner Bros and Capitol Records. Have a recording studio and publishing company called by the same name "RyanSongs Music". Have two new Music CD's out (Go to myspace.com/ryantrevor)
About the Book:
From the outback of a childhood disaster which exiles him across the Great Pond to England and then to the remote interior of Brazil, all within the span of his childhood, follow the adventure with Ryan as he encounters exciting situations and fantasies which move him into his young adulthood. As a Child of the 60’s, he becomes as big as life with the movement and the politics of that era, from the college protest rallies of the Vietnam War through the Hippie Movement at Haight /Ashbury in San Francisco. Having a father who was working as a CIA covert and a mother who was a conservative born out of the Church of England, the situations of being at the wrong place at the wrong time seem to occur more than not. Down on Backwards Trail sets an atmosphere of breaking the boundaries and allowing you to go home.
Thank you for the add. Love the music! Sent you a "add friend" at MySpace. Your book sounds interesting. Maybe after we get the website/podcast up and running you'd like to do an interview on my show?
Dear Ryan, Sitting here enjoying your music. Thrilled to have you as a friend. If you will go to my website on myspace, it is all authors and their books, come join us there too:

Your book sounds great, and I like the music as well. We are from almost the exact same era! (I'm just a little older than you are.) Thanks for the invite.
Thanks for being part of my circle, Ryan! I like your site, and the music. I've written in a lot of genres but I've never tried song writing. My oldest brother (now deceased) wrote many C & W songs and had a bunch recorded. I also have a nephew-in-law who writes songs. Must be something going around! Your book sounds good, too. I'll have to check it out. My new suspense novel was just released last month so I'm busy trying to promote it. Russ =www.russheitz.com.
Thx for the friend invite. I enjoyed your music . . . a bit of a trip down memory lane, in many ways. You mention Barry Manilow in your bio. Do you know Kevin DiSimone, one of his back-up singers of yore? I used to do some grassroots PR for Kevin -- very nice & talented musician.
Your book cover is beautiful!

Wonderful to be part of your friend circle. I've dabbled in song writing myself-- not for a career, just for fun. Of course, I have since realized that there is much more to writing a song than just words! That is the part that leaves me hanging! Hope to talk with you soon.
Arkansas is about as hot as Vietnam right now. Tomorrow my wife and I will head for the mountains. We will end up in Reno Nevada for the American Legion National Conference after a few days in Steamboat Springs. I flew the 141 from 68 until June 1970. After that I flew the RF-101, F-100, F-4 and F-16. The government has a way of turning something fun into work. Pilots these days have so many requirements that much of the fun is gone. Briefings take hours when real fighter pilots already know what to do. Everything they need to know outside of intelligence, target and threat information could be printed on a card. Debriefing takes even longer. I sometimes miss the flying for a brief moment, I don't miss the bs. I will check out your book. Best wishes, Gene
Thanks for the invite! I lived in Nashville and most of my friends were songwriters or musicians. I miss their creative minds. I used to sing in Reno years ago.
Hey Ryan...on a footnote, I have kind of a real pretty sad love poem that would make great lyrics for a song. Would you be interested in seeing them? Let me know...or you can view the poem over at www.authorsden.com/pennilynnsmith(weston) The title is: Oh, Lost My Love. Take care...Penni
Mr. Trevor, Thank your for your support and also for your service to your country. Although being a published author is a very satisfying feeling of accomplishment, the service to our country is one that will never be superceded. As my Marines and I sweat in the hellish heat of Iraq, we want all Americans to know that we are winning no matter what the media says. We are fighting this war with compassion in one hand and a knife in the other. Most Iraqis prefer compassion where as the insurgents prefer the knife. The burdens of freedom are what we bear and we stand tall and proud protecting the rights of humanity. Once again, thank you for your service and God Bless the USA.
I would like to invite you to join my Ning Book Marketing network. I have been a published author for many years and love to network with others who have a passion for writing and publishing.
If you get a chance, please visit my blog to read my special feature called The Author’s Corner. . http://www.kathleengage.blogspot.com
Have a great day.
