Kelly Williams is a Dolly Parton–loving, sports-car-driving private investigator in Nashville who helps women.

Sisters in search of lost siblings. Wives determined to uncover affairs. Daughters haunted by men lingering outside their windows.

Clients trust her because she’s honed a specialized skill set.

Her latest client is Sarah Owens, better known as Seraph, the magnetic and polarizing lead singer of the indie sensation, The Garden Snakes. After a series of threats turns violent, she hires Kelly to identify her assailant.

Then, in the middle of a Nashville performance, Seraph is shot on stage. The ambulance carrying her disappears. The city reels and conspiracy theories – and reader’s heads – swirl.

Nossett lives in Nashville.

Macon, GA is a storied music town, home to Little Richard, Otis Redding, the Allman Brothers and dozens more. Angel “Cash” Ocasio, Jr. and his collective, Cash’s Juke Joint, is a worthy addition to Macon’s strong and funky musical lineage.

Ocasio’s debut album is The Road Home (Wild Ivory Records). It includes the single, “Trying to Understand.”

“Ocasio’s instrumental prowess stands out across the 11 tracks on “The Road Home”, but the songs never suffer from overplaying or excessive production. Sure, this record is a guitar junkie’s dream, but Ocasio’s smooth vocalizing and strong songwriting skills never take a back seat to his searing solos.” — Living Blues Magazine
