Venice, flashbacks from another lifetime, the impossible becoming possible. And love and friendship. That's what this episode is all about.

At the heart of it is "Venetian Rhapsody," a novel with a soundtrack about a grand love from another time that reignites in the wondrous City of Canals.

The collaboration behind this project is as magical as the story itself. Suffice to say that its award-winning creators are friends who live on different continents, and they've produced something truly special.

In this episode, you will meet author Tonya Penrose and classical musician David Bazo, who talk about the inspiration for this project, what they've learned from their transcontinental friendship, and so much more. Clearly, it's been a growth experience for both of them, and a fun, satisfying one at that.

As we mention in the episode, the book and the album don't come packaged together because the creators live in two different countries. However, you can order the book and album wherever you buy books and music.

I read the Kindle version of Tonya's novel, which also is available on Amazon, and I purchased David's album on Apple Music

Another really good way to purchase both is to go to the creators' sites.  Visit Tonya's website or go directly to David's store page on his site. For the latter, just scroll down a bit and you'll see the links. The album also is available to download from all the streaming services. 

Please enjoy the results of this remarkable collaboration.
