In a desperate bid to get back on top, a bitter, jealous one-hit-wonder rock star commits a nasty betrayal on a hot young singer/songwriter who is his greatest fan.

A rocking comedy drama with a zinger of a twist delivered with cutting humour and lived experience of the music biz.

A rocket ride through the perils of the hunger for fame; an addiction like any other with the attendant consequences of needing a fix.

THEME: The struggle to find self through the bubble of fame, at the cost of self-torment and the potential loss of a faithful loved one.

MESSAGE: Are personal integrity and loyalty more important than the artificial public persona created by the bubble of fame?

�ber die Autorin bzw. den Autor

School from age five to eighteen. Hated every minute of it. Total waste of my precious time. Learnt nothing. Parents plonked me on a piano at the age of eight. I took to it like a duck to water. By age of fourteen I was composing. By the time I left school I was deep into Blues, Jazz, Reggae, Funk, Soul and Latin American styles. After leaving school my dad asked me how I intended to make a living. I said I wanted to be a musician. He thought that was a great joke and told me to get a respectable, well-paying career behind me. He recommended the legal profession. I fell for it. I studied my butt off for a few years and actually managed to qualify as a lawyer. Six months later I quit to pursue a musical life as a contemporary pianist/composer. Mum was happy about it. Dad was not. I have played the piano in many formats in London, across Europe, Venezuela and the USA. A love of comedy led me to writing humorous verse, short stories, pulp fiction paperbacks, a novel and screenplays all with music biz themes.
