Quirky, Song-based Stories
We Will Rock You meets Rock of Ages
“‘A nostalgia-filled AOR romp for seasoned rockers. Hugely enjoyable and highly entertaining.“
Neil Daniels – Author and Musical Journalist
Warning: These storylines are proper implausible because they’re based on song lyrics. To get the best out of them, you should suspend disbelief completely (just leave it at the door – you can pick it up on the way out).
If you’re a Journey or City Boy fan, make yourself a playlist of the tracks and play it as you read. I hope you can visualise the stage-play these musicals could one day become.
Don’t Stop Believing

“I could certainly see Don’t Stop Believing as a musical play on stage; the dialogue has a sharpness and fresh wit. Ms Green has an unerring ability to draw characters that the reader “gets” really quickly – to the point where you have to know what happens to them.”

A failing marriage. A union separated by distance. An accidental encounter. Can the Edinburgh Fringe Festival work its magic?
Kathy’s life is a mess. Sure, the job’s great and her home is to-die-for, but she spends way too much time on the midnight train to catch a few fraught hours with her musician husband, Jimmy. While he’s away, Dan-next-door looks dangerously attractive.
On paper, Jimmy has it all. A talented wife, a successful rock band and nights in smart hotels. The gig at Edinburgh’s hottest arts festival is the culmination of years on the road, but the lack of harmony in his marriage makes him feel like a failure. He and Kathy fight to stay together, but events conspire to break them apart as they interact with colourful characters drawn to the Fringe.
In this rock-music-inspired tale, three love stories intertwine as each player is forced to take stock of their lives and discover what is truly important. And big bonus – not one, but three Happy Ever Afters.
Young Men Gone West

Warning: It’s not for the fainthearted – the inside of an 18-yr-old boy’s head and sweet, clean read do not good bedfellows make.
“A quirky, fun and rather raucous read with a big helping of originality. Took me a while to read the first time as I kept going to YouTube to discover all the songs used in the book, so I had to read it all again! Recommended!“

An innocent British boy. A gorgeous American girl. An alluring geometry teacher. An accident waiting to happen.
Harry hated being uprooted from a rainy British city to the heat of a New Mexican spring. But the heart of Rock music can’t hold a candle to the gorgeousness of Beth. Now they’ve graduated, she’s leaving him back in Smallsville; he doesn’t have the same pulling power as her enticing job in Vegas.
His buddy, Mike, is no comfort; his OCD is equally torn between gambling and their tantalizing ex-geometry teacher, Jean. Using Beth’s number (5705) results in a lottery windfall, and the young men go west in the oddest kind of adventure.
When Harry wakes up in handcuffs, he realizes Jean’s sleazy web of deception has left him on dangerous ground. Being kidnapped and forced to eat snails is no picnic, but he’s certain Beth is suffering an even worse fate. After hitting the jackpot, Mike goes into hiding as the net closes around them, but the Mafia and police all want a piece of Harry. Can Beth’s kindness lead to his salvation?
This outrageous, sleazy story is based on a Jukebox musical featuring eighteen of City Boy’s wickedly quirky songs (including some of the naughtiest). But if you can handle a bit of down and dirty, it has a guaranteed HEA.
The Day the Earth Caught Fire
A great example of how to write a jukebox musical with realistic dialogue, building on existing lyrics that drive the plot and characters forward.

“The pace was brilliant and the writing fabulous. Lots of twists and turns and a blockbuster of a story. The characters were so well written that they zinged from the page. A real page turner.“

A sexy Scottish mechanic. A spoilt American movie star. Expect the unexpected.
On paper, Robin McIntyre has it all – a movie-star wife, a flashy New York apartment and every boy’s toy he could ever want. Sitting in the private movie theater, with a very English butler serving caviar and champagne, he wonders exactly what this Scottish grease-monkey had done to deserve the life from hell.
Anamarina Storr knows she’s being a spoiled b!#@h, but gosh-darn it, she’s earned the right. As she pees off yet another hapless assistant, she wonders if she should have listened to her husband’s advice about forsaking the increasingly shady leading lady roles for character parts.
What neither of them realize, is that their whole worlds are about to catch fire, courtesy of a sassy biker chic and a sociopathic British spy.
Part romance, part disaster movie and part psychological thriller, it is glued together with great characters, twists, turns and an over the top HEA ending.
