Development Pitch
This selection would translate to the screen very well. It has all the major elements of a movie and it truly is a novel that you visualize as you read it. Along with a constantly emerging plot it has the excitement and allure of classic rock music accompanying it. The song lyrics are there to read as they are an integral part of the story, and you can almost hear the thunder of the drums, the wail of the guitar and the raw emotion in the singer's voice. It can easily be adapted to a country music theme as well. With the large repertoire of movies being made about the music industry and rock stars in general, this novel would be an attraction to any age group and all genders who consider themselves fans of music. Lastly it is a timeless tale of love lost and regrets; who among us doesn't wish that we could go back in time and do something differently, but knowing deep down that we can't change the past; and further knowing that we probably would do the same thing over again.
