Blue Moon -- a story inspired by Clay Aiken but 100% fiction. The story takes place in the summer of 1999, when Clay is 20 years old. Clay is working as a YMCA camp counselor in the mountains of North Carolina. Yes, there's a girl involved. The story started out as very lighthearted but got more serious as I wrote it. It really did take on a life of its own. A central theme is Clay's fear of water. The moon is everywhere. And yes, he does get to sing--5 songs in fact, including gospel, bluegrass, country, and pop. Wish I could get Clay to record the soundtrack to accompany this story! There are actual quotes hidden throughout the story from Clay, Simon, Paula, Randy, and Gladys Knight. See if you can find them. Have fun. Let me know what you think of the story. Should there be a sequel??
