Rough Music a new Musican's love story

A couple of years ago, I was recovering from an operation, and found that I was rather bored with the genre I used to write in. So while I was convalescing, I started to listen to music that I’d loved in my youth, in the late 70s and 1980's. I got back into country music again. So I started to write some stories based in the world of music. I didn't want to write soft edged, happy ending stories. Musicians aren’t choir boys and back in the days of long tours, there was a lot of wild stuff, drinking, sex and drug taking. My next story is more of a story of a marriage, (Beds and Blue Jeans, available on Amazon) between a young couple who live together, but who aren’t Love's Young Dream. He has a small band, and plays in the Nashville bars. His girlfriend is a young mother and they don’t have much in common apart from their baby. But they find a way of living together. The latest story, “Rough Music”, does not have the traditional happy ending. It is about a band who play country and rock and who are just breaking into the big time. The lead singer finds that his marriage is falling apart, because of his long months away touring and his own infidelities and drinking. He remarries, but is the second marriage going to be more successful? I know that many people won’t like these type of stories, but I feel that writing all the time about “happy endings” and “rakes tamed by the love of a good woman” is unrealistic. I like to write about people who are real, who do stupid things and good things, who aren’t “sorted out by the end of the novel”.
