Steve and Sue end up raising Steve's daughter with Malevolence that they named Leia. That's not a spoiler since the 2019 Mindfire novel shows that they raised her to adulthood. This is Sue's lullaby to Leia as an infant. I wrote the lyrics and made the music/vocals using Suno A.I.

From Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel, this song represents when the AR-MEN superhero team realized their teammates Steve Hamilton (Crusader) and Sue Sanchez (The Cat) had disappears and began an intensive search before determining that they had unwillingly time traveled. The AR-MEN are in 1992, so I used Trance/Electronic music for this instrumental made with Suno A.I.

This might be the happiest-sounding song I’ve ever written. It’s about the love story between Steve Hamilton (Crusader) and Sue Sanchez (The Cat) while they are back in mid-1930s North Texas (they're from early 1990s California) in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel. I wrote the lyrics. The music is my homage to 1930s pop/jazz musicals. All it needs is a tap-dancing sequence - lol! Music/vocals made with Suno A.I.

"The Shade" is a 1930s female superhero in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel. As my lyrics in this song show, she thought she was the only super-powered being around and used her telepathy sparingly to not draw undue attention to herself. She's kind of an anti-hero, not going by a strict set of rules, just a general morality. It made her an interesting character to write, especially once she meets Steve and Sue (who do follow superhero rules established by the early 1990s). I made this in 1930s Jazz style with female lead vocals from that time period.

This song from Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel is made in 1930s pop style. I wrote the lyrics to "The Next Step" to focus on the main superhero characters(Steve - Crusader and Sue - The Cat)'s dilemma in the story — being transported against their will to 1930's North Texas. I made the music with Suno A.I. and it's a pretty fun little tune to listen to.

The third main character in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel is a woman named Angela. She's also the supervillain Malevolence. A tricky character to write, it also made this song an interesting challenge for the same reason. Angela developed extremely strong telepathic powers that initially traumatized her enough for her to disassociate and form a new personality to control the powers.

That personality called herself Malevolence and this song is from her perspective not long after she came to be. The tie-in to the story is that she is Steve Hamilton(Crusader)'s ex-girlfriend. And she becomes Leia Hamilton's biological mother. This song is Malevolence's favorite music style: 90s goth rock. I wrote the lyrics and made the music/vocals using Suno A.I.

Steve Hamilton (The Crusader) is trying to make sense of his 20-something life, trying to balance odd jobs, a girlfriend, and being one of the leaders of The AR-MEN superhero team. His perspective is a variation of Sue(The Cat)'s. Ironically in his view, being a superhero is easier to deal with than "normal" life. This song's events occur before the time travel takes place in Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel. Steve likes 80s rock music, so that's the style of this one. I wrote the lyrics and made the music with Suno A.I.

Unto Dust: A Mindfire Prequel starts with 19-year-old Sue Sanchez (the superheroine called The Cat) in 1992. This is before the time travel takes place. She is an up-and-coming model who is secretly a member of The AR-MEN superhero team (thus the double life through the need for a secret identity). I wrote the lyrics for this song based on events in the book (which is complete, just needs edits and that may take a bit) and made the 1990s pop music and vocals with Suno A.I.

Sometimes, you just gotta do things different. Back in 1992, I wrote a lot of tunes and a number of them ended up being instrumentals. This one is called "Half Past Midnight" and it originally had a kind of surf rock feel. But after I uploaded it to Suno A.I. and started making some remixes, I was inspired to see what it would sound like as an upbeat, groovy Reggae song. And that's the one that worked best. Enjoy!

In 1988, I made lyrics for a song I called "In A Burning Cloud." I wrote the music on acoustic and electric guitar. The lyrics and mood of the song concerned the fears of nuclear war that were very prevalent at the time. I went into the studio with Tony Roberti and Leslie Steury and we recorded it. Tony played expert drums and had some spoken lines while Leslie lent some vocals. I played electric guitar, electric bass and sang on the original version (I'll put the link to it in the comments).

Recently, I uploaded the original version to Suno A.I. and decided to give it what I call "A Jazz Reimagining."

And let me say, you will never hear a prettier sounding song about nuclear war.  It turned out very smooth, give it a listen. Isn't it worth it for the thumbnail alone?
