I’m Writing A Novel – Father John Misty

Rock And Roll Valhalla…

Starting tomorrow I will be publishing a book I’ve written in the 2 months since I stopped my music blog. It’s a bit different to the Song A Day narrative I established in the 1000 posts and chats we had about them on SteveForTheDeaf but, Shucks! I missed you guys.

So please read along with the story as it’s published. Each chapter comes with a playlist of seven songs that soundtrack that installment. It’s a rock and roll tale involving pubs, indie kids, low level street crime, young love and the good old fashioned SteveForTheDeaf time paradox. There will be one chapter every three days from tomorrow until Suicide Week.

Set in 1999 and flashing back through the decade this End Of The Century tale is a coming of age love story for The Greeboes, The Crusties And The Goths.
