    In spite of the immoral odour that has tainted his big break, Jason is determined to prove himself, artistically and morally. We follow Jason's band into the studio to record their debut album under the tutorage of Rae, the devious executive at Aim Records, who 'fixed' their win. Having fixed the contest, Rae is now determined to 'fix' the band's career by dictating (by 'research') which songs they should record. The contrast is clear between this formulaic approach to music and Jason's natural feel for it. Holding everything together - the band and the contract, as well as his gruelling schedule at Impervious - Jason's struggles multiply when he discovers that Aim Records are not the success they are portrayed to be! Yet again, responsibility for organisation and create direction falls on Jason's shoulders; he is the band's only hope if their album is to be successful. This is, of course, where he proves himself. In the midst of the drama, secretly Jason is plotting his and Georgie's wedding. Together they are making preparations to welcome their first child into their musical world.

    This follow on story from the popular When The Sax Man Plays series follows the lives of our characters after the loss of Jason. When Georgie meets a producer who wants to make a film of her late husband's life, it is ironic that they meet on the fifth anniversary of Jason's death. Promising minimal stress and involvement for the rest of the family, she agrees to the idea only if she can oversee it. Christopher is adamant that he will also be involved. Aware of his promise to his brother to always look after Georgie, he knows her involvement in the project will bring back more than memories... Scenes are to be recorded in their Music House, and certain items put into storage years ago are brought out for filming. She hasn't lived in the property for years and when her new partner, Jeff, suggests that they build their own home together on the site, the house will soon be destroyed. Does she visit one more time and allow the ghosts of the past to envelop her? Christopher too is hesitant, but Anna convinces him that it is a good idea to do so before it is too late.

Yvonne Marrs

Invernesian Yvonne Marrs (1982-present day) has loved writing for as long as she can remember, moving to the London area at the age of 19 to pursue her dream of becoming a published author. Yvonne graduated from UHI (Inverness College) with an HND in Administration and Information Management, a set of skills she puts to good use to organise herself and her work - especially as she has her own publishing company, WTSMP Publications. Currently Yvonne has published several fictional series - the 'When The Sax Man Plays' series, the 'Football Crazy' series, the 'Aiden Lewis octet', 'Can't Buy Health' series and 'Undeserved'. Yvonne dreamt up the idea that formed the "When The Sax Man Plays" (WTSMP) series after falling in love with saxophone music, and being inspired by Leona Lewis' dream X Factor win. To throw an ordinary person in an ordinary job, with an extraordinary talent into superstardom is the story behind WTSMP. The central character, Jason Bottelli is such a person, although we soon discover he is far from ordinary! If you like your fiction easy going, entertaining, enthralling and heart-warming, you'll fall in love with the musical romance that is the WTSMP series. The ever popular "Football Crazy" series follows our central character, Aiden Lewis, as he rises through the football ranks. From club player to International sensation; through to his management career, leading England into the World Cup and then his brother's local team, the London Giants, from nowhere into the Premiership as the series progresses. Aiden's story continues with the 'Aiden Lewis octet', finishing with 'Undeserved'. There are standalone books as well as those in a series: 'Castiliano Vulgo' - a fictional work on 16th Century London life written using both Elizabethan English and Modern English. 'Inexorable' - a murder erotica written as part of the NaNoWriMo challenge in 2016.
