Description
When it comes to the music industry, Rai Paley has seen it all.
Prima donnas, ingenues, bona fide legends and burnouts—as a veteran journalist, nothing fazes her anymore. But when she’s hired to interview talented but troubled jazz musician Gene Coltrane, he drums up a wild rhythm that drives deep within her carefully cultivated veneer. And it'll take all her willpower not to get lost in the groove.
Gene Coltrane is a rolling stone. All his life, passion for his music has propelled him through a spotlit whirlwind of fame, women, and more than his fair share of trouble without so much as a backward glance. But one look into Rai Paley’s eyes stops him cold. Now she’s the only light he can see.
With a mix of traditional narrative and intimate, interview-style vignettes, Studio City Songs tells the tale of these two shooting stars as they stop orbiting each other’s axes and crash headlong into the truth. Passion sears their every interaction, and resisting its pull only stokes the fiery love that is about to command center stage, changing them both forever.
Drop the needle and let the music play.
Advance Praise
“… an emotional whirlwind that pulls you into the deep connection between Rai and Gene, both electric in their own right. The chemistry between them sizzles from the start, blending their individual passions for music and life in a way that’s raw and intense. The interview-style narrative adds a unique layer, making their journey feel intimate and real. It’s a love story that hits all the right notes—equal parts fiery, soulful, and deeply moving. This one will stay with me for a long time.”
“… a beautifully crafted tale that intertwines music and romance. The characters are well-developed, and their journey is filled with passion, turmoil, and self-discovery. The writing is vivid, immersing you in the vibrant world of jazz. This book is a must-read for anyone who loves a heartfelt love story set against a musical backdrop. Highly recommended!”
