From the day he almost figured out how to use his stepfather's turntable, Dan Webster believed that he was destined for greatness.

He had everything he needed: a voice, a vision, a broken home backstory, a dangerous way with the ladies, a notorious band, a practiced persona, and an authentic addiction. Only one thing was missing-a stage.

Oh yeah...and one other little thing: talent.

Rock Star: The Life, Legend, and Many Deaths of Dan Webster is part biography, part satire, part true crime, and part mythology. This novel is an examination of the curse of creativity in the absence of having anything to say. Set in the beautiful and boring expanse of Northern Michigan, it's a story of life and death and rock 'n' roll outside the margins.
