Showbiz. A word that simply sums up glamour - with a large-sized capital G.

Showbiz. A word that simply sums up glamour - with a large-sized capital G. Here is all that glitz in the story of two songwriters - a musician and a lyricist - who meet, start to work together, have a small success, then get 'conned' into writing a big musical show. The two are composers - one a young, serious Australian dedicated to writing music 'in the old-fashioned way', and the other an English lyricist with an apparently couldn't-care-less attitude but nevertheless in love with writing words to music. Set vaguely just after the Swinging Sixties, they live in a world where amusement and entertainment are centred around live stage shows, big screen films or early days television. It is a world before social media takes control - where people talk to each other rather than into a piece of electronic equipment and listen to music on vinyl discs or the more modern tapes or discs. It is a world of mysterious allure and dreams, and the two songsters fit into it perfectly. They slot into the alluring fascination of preparing a London West End musical, and the readers can follow their exciting, enchanting journey as they make their initial recording and then help develop, rehearse and stage the show.

Autorenporträt
The author has been a journalist all his life - local newspapers, freelancing with British national papers, then working in film and TV publicity before returning to provincial newspapers as a military correspondent. Forced to retire against his will twenty-one years ago, he continued with freelance and charity PR work. Now 90, for the last eight years he has been the sole carer for a wife with Alzheimer's, but now she has moved into a care home for full-time medical care and he has resumed writing. Although he had published stories before, The Songsters is his first published novel.
