Slacker King

This is the story of Max, a local music legend who will never venture outside his little city to become something more. He blames a past relationship, the suicide of his father to stay where he is, never becoming anything more than an over qualified pub singer. In one weekend, during a summer music fest, the shadows of his past crash back into his life (in the forms of a past love and the ghost of his father)desperately trying to force him into fulfilling his destiny and actually doing something with all of his talent before it's too late. But will he fight it? Would he rather continue down the path he's on, slowly wandering into nothingness while consuming him to the point where he leaves this world just another "what could have been" story? This book is a hard look at what happens when the distractions of life get in the way of talent, when genius is lost behind excuses and self made issues. Can Max actually overcome his "Slacker King" title and finally become something special?
