Hi there GC fans! Chris here. It's been way too long since I've posted a blog here on the GC MySpace. Mostly because I've been incredibly busy for quite a while. I have a lot of things cooking right now, and I can finally tell you about one of the biggest things going on!

I'm appearing on a project called Roswell Six, playing acoustic guitar. The press release is below, and let me say that I am humbled and honored to be involved in this project! Working along-side such great musicians is a real treat for me, and helping to create something that will go along with a Kevin J. Anderson book makes it even better! Enough of my rambling, here's the official press release from ProgRock Records:

ProgRock Records has joined
forces with internationally bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson for
a groundbreaking crossover novel and progressive rock project, TERRA
INCOGNITA. Anderson has created an incredible fantasy universe with
sailing ships, sea monsters, and the crusades. The first novel, THE
EDGE OF THE WORLD, hits stores in June from Orbit Books.

Anderson says, "My work work has always been heavily influenced by
music, especially progressive rock -- but TERRA INCOGNITA truly takes
this into new territory." Anderson developed and expanded one of the
novel's storylines to form the basis of an epic rock CD, under the
band name "Roswell Six." He and his wife, bestselling author Rebecca
Moesta, wrote all the lyrics to the songs.

Accomplished keyboardist/composer Erik Norlander (ROCKET SCIENTISTS)
came aboard at the beginning of the project to write the music. His
wife Lana Lane, the "Queen of Symphonic Rock," provides the female
lead vocals. Bassist Kurt Barabas (UNDER THE SUN) and Executive
Producer Shawn Gordon from ProgRock Records round out the members of
"Roswell Six."

"This project checked off about half the items on my bucket list,"
said Gordon. "Imagine what kind of fantasy world I feel like I'm in
when I get to work with one of my favorite authors, favorite
vocalists, and favorite musicians. Hearing the story come to life is
really an amazing experience and I think there are going to be a lot
of new crossover fans from this project."

The CD's male vocals are by James LaBrie (DREAM THEATER), Michael
Sadler (SAGA), and John Payne (ex-ASIA). Additional artists on the CD
include David Ragsdale (KANSAS), Gary Wehrkamp (SHADOW GALLERY),
Chris Quirarte (PRYMARY) and Chris Brown (GHOST CIRCUS). Together,
the creative team has sold over 40 million copies worldwide.

TERRA INCOGNITA is a synergistic project unlike anything ever seen in
the publishing and music business -- an original novel and original
CD from the same author. Kevin J. Anderson is currently writing the
second novel in the epic trilogy, TERRA INCOGNITA: THE MAP OF ALL
THINGS. He is best known for his successful DUNE novels with Brian
Herbert, his many Star Wars and X-Files novels, and his original epic
"The Saga of Seven Suns."

"Terra Incognita" is the first release on ProgRock Records and can be
found at http://www.progrockrecords.com/artists/view.php?id=116. This
groundbreaking epic is available now for pre-sales; the CD will ship
in late April and the book by June. The street date for your favorite
brick and mortar resellers is June 2, 2009. Special bundling and
discounting is available on the ProgRock Records site, as well as an
