IN
A KID’S WORLD
Music & Lyrics ©
2000 by Barbara Reed
It
was too late to help her. Liz
knew it the moment she stumbled over her body. Now she was tormented by guilt. Had
she missed her cousin’s cries for help, or been too stubborn to hear
them?

HIGH
NOTES ARE MURDER
Music ©
2000 by Barbara Reed
Liz
grew up longing for a career in music but after ten years on the roller
coaster of cheap piano bars and one-nighters, she worries that Brogino’s
“Smoke & Choke” is as far as she’ll ever get.
When a late-night phone call offers her a chance for international
fame, she’s pulled into a whirlwind of non-stop excitement—and
non-stop terror.

SHE
SAW YOU COMIN’
Music & Lyrics ©
2000 by Barbara Reed
Before
dawn, Liz steps out of the overgrown bushes behind Germaine’s West and
turns to thank her informant, but he’s already gone.
No matter, she got what she needs.
She hurries to her car, makes a quick phone call, then slips inside
the club to wait for the killer’s return. The announcement she’d made
on TV last night would draw him out—all she had to do was wait.

THE
TEAR RETURNS TO ME
Music & Lyrics ©

The relationship is over, but sometimes Liz still longs for his love.

BEING
THERE
Music ©
2000 by Barbara Reed
Liz’s
close friend, Danny, pays her a stunning compliment after a performance. “Tonight’s the best I’ve ever heard you sing,” he
tells her. “It’s a level
most people strive their whole lives to reach, but you should know . . .
you’re there!”

THE CHILD IN YOU
Music &
Lyrics ©
1985 by Barbara Reed
Liz
steps onstage and faces expectant reporters and cameramen. Tonight
matters. All eyes are on her, observing, measuring.
The fate of the broadcasts—even her own career—depends on how
convincingly she can deliver this performance.
She raises the mike to her lips and struggles to erase the quiver
from her voice as she sings The
Child In You, the original song that reveals so much about the
feelings she tries to keep private.

(YOU WERE) RIGHT HERE ALL
THE TIME
Music & Lyrics
©
2000 by Barbara Reed
She’d
tried love before. So many
times, in fact, she was about to stop hoping for it.
Even her fiancé, Ben, had expected her to give up her dream to
follow his. She wondered if
she’d always have to choose between her love for music and her need for
a relationship--until someone surprises her by stating his feelings for
her.
