Follow the rollercoaster ride that Mickey suddenly finds himself on when things around him begin to change. Station rumors. Media circus. Pressure and tension set in. He makes a few quirky decisions and then the seatbelt loosens on his life over the next six days.
Family issues add to the chaos already created…are the media rumors true that his station is being sold to corporate suits, who have been his stated enemy for years? After all, his love of radio is all about personal ownership and control, that radio is really for the listeners. Those corporate suits have been dominating radio for years since the deregulation laws took shape almost two decades ago.
Follow the path that Mickey takes in uncovering these rumors, and what needs to be done to meet the perceived challenges head-on.

Favorite quote on writing
Anyone can write, but not many can express. The challenge of poetry is in creating the vision, then finding the right words to express it. I have written for over thirty years and find this to be the most challenging form of communication, and yet the most satisfying.

‘This novel has been quite a challenge. A very fulfilling one. I look foward to writing another.’
