Storyteller: Short Stories by Rock Stars

Description

In Greg Kihn's 20 years as a professional musician, he has met hundreds of fellow performers who have chosen to express themselves by writing fiction. These are musicians and performers who are also genuinely talented writers, translating an innate gift for storytelling and an aptitude for artistic adventure to the page. Storyteller collects previously unpublished short fiction from a wide range of musicians from Grace Slick to Judy Collins. Ray Manzarek of the Doors contributes a "Jim Morrison Is Alive" fantasy based on Jim's last phone call from Paris only days before his death. Best-selling novelist Kinky Friedman produces his first short story ever. Many of these artists, like Pete Townshend, Marshall Crenshaw, and Mickey Hart, are already published writers of fiction or memoirs; others, like Todd Rundgren and Eddie Money, are published here for the first time.
