Joe Henley is the lead vocalist for the rock band
B E A C H S I R E N S
After the dismal release of their third studio album, Music to Die to, Joe fears of his band falling apart. He drowns the noise with alcohol and drugs until an unforeseen circumstance causes his life to shift trajectories. Unsure about where his career and life are headed, Joe falls into the world of film composing and encounters an array of artists along the way.
This novel is written for adults, young and old, but the overall target audience is young men. While social media has helped to revive the book industry, young men have been widely excluded from this phenomenon. Young men are beginning to devalue literature, losing their moral foundation, empathy, and creativity.
I wrote this book to have an edge. But at its core, the protagonist is lonely, sad, and afraid of taking responsibility. This is a story of transformation and accountability. This book explores what it means to be a young adult in the modern world, and the toll it can take on the mind when the whole world is watching you.
