Unfortunately, the genre «music novel» does not yet exist in this explicit definition. Not yet! This is unfortunate given there have long been movies that depict the music scene (e.g. Lady Gaga: A Star Is Born; Elton John: Rocketman or the successful TV series Nashville).

«The Songwriter» depicts the music business in Nashville in great detail and immerses the reader in a fast-paced story comprising love, integrity, friendship, resilience, hope and disappointment.

In the carefully researched and authentic love and music story, readers learn how record companies, producers and publishers pull the strings in the background, how recording sessions in the studio are performed and what problems the music industry has to deal with on a daily basis.

It also serves as a kind of travel guide with «top» insider tips from the author for anyone seeking music clubs, bars and restaurants in Nashville.
