- Book 2 of 2: Things We Lost in The Night, A Saga of Love and Music in the 60s with Stark Naked and the Car Thieves
ENCHANTED, BOOK 2 OF THINGS WE LOST IN THE NIGHT CONCLUDES A FAST-MOVING, ROMANCE-FILLED MEMOIR of a young singer and his friends search for success in the 1960s music business of California and Las Vegas - if you liked memoirs from Carly Simon, Keith Richards, Patti Smith, Tommy James, and "The Wrecking Crew," you're sure to enjoy Night People.
In the final three years of Things We Lost in the Night, the band’s trajectory continues to rise as their latest record is expected to debut high on Billboard Magazine's Hot 100. In Hawaii, Larry encounters a life-threatening moment and an indelible romantic fantasy, experiences on this beautiful and exotic island during the Vietnam War change his life in many ways. The following homecoming trip to perform in Indianapolis is far less satisfying than he’d expected, and a national tragedy affects the hit record everyone expected.But the band’s appearance successes continue to soar as they headline in a Las Vegas nightclub with famous bands like Sly and the Family Stone and discover that their band has become the model for the latest supergroup, Three Dog Night.
Though the recording success they’d hoped for hasn’t materialized yet, the Flamingo Hotel has booked them on a long-term contract to play in a dance/showroom designed and built especially for them, the Sky Room. Here they perform for the biggest stars in the world, including Tom Jones and Elvis Presley, and play with internationally famous musicians who come to sit in with them. Larry feels he’s living a romantic fairy tale with his new wife and baby son and has been given a second chance to redeem the failure of his first marriage.
When the Flamingo’s owner completes construction on the new International Hotel, the world’s largest resort casino, Elvis Presley is booked in the main showroom to begin his legendary climb to superstardom in the city that never sleeps. Stark Naked and the Car Thieves are expected to open the Crown Room simultaneously in a venue similar to the Sky Room at the top of the new hotel. After another record release fizzles, the band is frustrated with their progress as recording artists.
Though they have been chosen by Capitol Records to record the theme song for a new major movie, Larry realizes their options are limited by the band’s inability to create their own original music, their own sound. But the disappointment continues when the movie fails to be completed, and forces are at work to implode the band. Larry is determined to find new ways to develop the band’s creativity. During a scheduling mixup that results in another trip home to Indiana, a crisis arises. His new wife and son are missing and he faces severe threats to his life and sanity as he attempts to salvage his family and keep the band together.
PRAISE FOR BOOK 1 NIGHT PEOPLE
"Whether or not you remember the swift intoxicating music of that era or the seismic shift of mores that burst from the free-love movement, [NIGHT PEOPLE] captures the beat of that misty time when the country suffered "a growing thirst for individual freedom, a desire to escape from an ever-darkening shadow of war, and a national hangover following the public murder of a young and popular president." -- C.D. Quyn, Steph Rodriguez, Manhattan Book Review"Larry Dunlap lived it. His memoir 'NIGHT PEOPLE' is a frank, funny, frenzied chronicle of the 60's West Coast music scene." -- Susan Shapiro, New York Times bestselling memoirist, FIVE MEN WHO BROKE MY HEART, GOOD AS YOUR WORD, OVEREXPOSED

Review
"Enchanted: Things We Lost in the Night is the second book in Larry J. Dunlap's romantic memoir series continues the story begun in Night People, following a band's climb toward national success on the West Coast in the 1960s. To get a sense of the flavor of the story, think Kerouac's On the Road, then add the best elements of rock star memoirs to the mix. The final three years of Dunlap's band's excursions and their rise to success are charted with an attention to detail and a "you are there" feel ..." - D. Donovan, Sr. Editor, Midwest Book Review
"This book and this series are for anyone who’s made a terrible mistake regarding people they love. It’s also a book for someone who’s been crushed beyond endurance by one they trusted, and how they go on. Larry Dunlap takes us on many journeys and does so with an intent to do justice to the trust we’ve put in him for the ride. The jockeying and insecurities and squabbles of the band, the vast distance from performing to recording and the players and influences in the process, Las Vegas during Elvis and Streisand’s time, native Hawaiian home life, love-making that makes you feel a nun by comparison—read Enchanted for all of this.
But the raw humanity of Larry knocked flat by loss and regret, and the f*ed-up place life becomes when he can’t even recognize himself—THIS is the beauty and the backbone of this book. And this why we read, to connect with someone who manages to find words for our crazy wordless lonely journey. Enchanted goes there...and I believe you’ll find yourself along the way." -Kindle Customer
"I think with this book I have put my finger on part of Dunlap's appeal as a writer to me. He is totally un-self-conscious in his transparency. Most writers, in depicting their inner world and outward adventures somehow convey an "I'm being so real with the reader" tone as if they expect a pat on the back for their vulnerability. Dunlap seems as surprised as the reader as he discovers contradictions, consequences of his ill-placed bravado, and other human foibles about himself on his journey through life and love. At times he offers the reader the chance to have the attitude of "I could have told you that, Larry", enabling us to feel superior, even reassured that we are better off with our safe and predictable lives even while we are envying his risk-taking and the living life large that he has embraced." -Kindle customer
