- When The Sax Man Plays: Part 1 - Making It: When The Sax Man Plays, #1
1
The first book finds our central character, Jason Bottelli, hard at work in his first job as Impervious College's Head of Music.

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.

- When The Sax Man Plays... And All That Jazz: When The Sax Man Plays
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.
