Ludwig van Beethoven once said, “Music is the mediator between the
spiritual and the sensual life.” Music is the soundtrack to our lives and the background setting behind author JAN BORNSTEIN’s literary debut with Beyond Beautiful, volume one of The Song Trilogy (ISBN-10: 0976759098).
Jenna Bradford and Scott Tenny are rock stars. They live a life in an industry that is the ‘fast-lane.’ These two characters are giants of a music industry that keeps them both constantly in the spotlight. The author (JAN BORNSTEIN) is a master at character development. Jenna and Scott are real and believable. In a recent interview Jan Bornstein discusses these characters for her book, “Jenna and Scott are two successful rock singers each with their own set of "baggage." Scott is a very loving and caring man but can also be very controlling and has a quick temper. He has everything he could ever want in life but one very important thing is missing. Real love. Then he meets Jenna. Jenna is a very successful singer in her own right. Most of her relationships have ended because of her insecurities and fear but she doesn't know why. It's not until she meets Scott that she find the truths of her past. Together their love helps them overcome odds most other couples wouldn't encounter in a life time…Since I like rock music and know some musicians in the field, I decided to incorporate it into a love story.”
Love and relationships have their own drama so anyone can guess what happens when two rock stars fall in love. Everything is magified ten times what normal people experience. Two people wrestling with the present and the past as they try to find their own place outside of the ‘spotlight.' A place where there are no paparazzis, fans, managers, gossip reporters, groupies, roadies and fans.
Beyond Beautiful has wonderfully written dialogue that is sharp and tight. “I always watch and listen to people when I'm in public,” the author says. “You can learn an awful lot about people from both. There were times when I was accused of being nosey by listening to others conversations but it wasn't like that at all. I would often find out a lot of information about so many topics.”
Beyond Beautiful, volume one of The Song Trilogy has everything and more. There is pain, action, drama, heartbreak, love and best of all – ‘Rock and Roll.’ As Mick Jagger sang “It’s only Rock and Roll, but I like it.” And you will like Beyond Beautiful, volume one of The Song Trilogy!
