The year 1969 was one of the most pivotal years modern history: the first moon landing; Woodstock; the Tate-LaBianca murders; the first trans-Atlantic flight of the Concorde; and the end of the 1960's revolution on the blood-soaked track of Altamont Speedway in California. The beginning of this negative synergy was in the form of a body found on the bottom of a swimming pool in southern England on July 3rd.
The founder, artistic driver and symbol of the Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, died under mysterious circumstances that night launching a bizarre string of celebrity deaths which included Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. It also signaled the end of music as an artistic endeavor and ushered in the era of big business. Brian Jones' Diary, explores this transitory time in history through eyes of a rock wannabee named Andrew Widgeon, who just happens to die violently in the midst of playing a Rolling Stone song.
A disheartened soul, Andy is propelled to an area between life and death where he comes face-to-face with his idol, Brian Jones, the founder of the Rolling Stones, as well as a gathering of persons who died at the same instant as Jones. The area appears to be a giant holding pen for all the unattained dreams of the 1960's with young Andy as the reluctant interloper.

Biographie de Kim Kinrade

Bestselling author Kim Kinrade was born and raised in Kimberley, British Columbia, on the B. C. side of the Canadian Rockies. He put himself through the University of British Columbia - where he received a degrees in Political Science - by playing guitar and singing in lounges.

During the 1980's Kim became one of the busiest pub performers in western Canada and also did a stint in Australia. Besides getting married and becoming a partner in a British pub he recorded two more singles and produced a video that aired on the Jerry Lewis Telethon. Moving to Halifax, Nova Scotia in the early 1990's Kim continued to perform professionally at night while looking after a young daughter and infant son during the day.

An Honourable Mention award in the Writers' Federation of Nova Scotia-sponsored writing contest spurred him on to write another short story focusing on his grandfather's exploits in World War I. This was expanded into his first manuscript, "The Salient."As well as having a long stint at one of Nova Scotia's premier resorts Kim has played in Europe, Great Britain and the United States making new fans with his unique brand of entertainment.
