b'Stephen Shaiken is here to talk about his rock and roll novel titled Queensborough Rock - the story of a young struggling rock and roll manager Jack Bernstein who lives in New York City.
It\\u2019s the year 1971. Jack doesn\\u2019t have a fancy office in Manhatten. He doesn\\u2019t have a flashy car and back stage passes. Instead, he works out of a basement apartment in working class Queens and drives around looking for hidden talent in a beat down Volvo. The talent he does steal gets stolen by Manhatten agents he calls \\u201csharks\\u201d. To finance a demo tape for his top talent, he had to borrow from a loan shark and pawn a friend\\u2019s guitar. But the tape fails to land a deal and Jack is running out of chances. His last hope is an offer from a friendly Queens mobster. Jack is asked to manage his obnoxious nephew as best as he can. If he does, doors will open.
Stephen is a veteran writer of fiction, both short stories and novels and he says all of his work is based on his life, places he\\u2019s been and events he\\u2019s witnessed. So what was it that inspired this latest book Queensborough Rock? We\\u2019re about to find out!
