BIO: Singer-songwriter Carol Selick traces her coming of age in tumultuous \u2019Sixties & early \u2019Seventies in a new autobiographical novel, \u201cBeyond the Song.\u201d Beginning each chapter with lyrics she wrote & still performs today, Selick breezily describe development of her alter-ego, Carol Marks, as she rebels against her strict suburban upbringing & joins the counter-culture, hoping to make it in the music business.

\n

Along the way she lands in a series of dangerous situations & narrow escapes \u2013 hitchhiking in California at the time of the Manson murders, attending anti-war demonstrations that turn violent, and nearly being arrested when her boyfriend is nabbed in a drug raid.

\n

In her journey, she also meets two important mentors who help her sort her priorities & take her goals seriously. One, based on Music Hall of Famer Rose Marie McCoy, helps her develop her considerable talents;& the other, a fictionalized psychoanalyst, helps her establish the self-assurance to stand on her own two feet as well as realize that much of her father\u2019s over-protectiveness stems from losing his family in the Holocaust.

\n

The author, who was raised in East Brunswick, eventually graduated from Rutgers & currently lives in Monroe, now performs a repertoire of jazz, rhythm and blues, pop, and her own work. Selick taught piano and voice for many years, & her recordings include \u201cLife Is Believing in You \u201cand \u201cJust Gonna Think About Today.\u201d She appears as a vocalist with her husband, jazz trumpeter & vocalist Gordon James, & performs the bluesy vocals on his 2019 release, \u201cCome On Down,\u201d which has been described as \u201cpiping-hot New Orleans fare.\u201d
