The Music City Mantra

This book is the second effort of this songwriter turned novelist. After retiring from his position as president and CEO of a seven-state insurance agency, he took up songwriting as his next career challenge and now has a catalogue of over two hundred songs, forty of which have been recorded by various country artists. After five years of jousting with the windmills of the greedy power-hungry, megalomaniac music moguls that come and go like tumble weeds before a prairie wind, he has once again retired, this time from the frenetic, backstabbing, dog-eat-dog world of the Nashville music industry, where the question is always “What have you done for me today?” and the mantra is “You scratch my back while I stab yours.” He’s now living the quiet life with his wife, Maelene, and their four cats in the serenity of the Woodlands, Texas.
