Play It Again

It all started with a house party that was never supposed to happen

School ends and the adult world beckons: university or work. But before lifelong decisions are made, it's time to celebrate. During an alcohol-fuelled house party, a jam session takes place in the back garden.

And it might just lead to a world never before imagined.

Aiden has no choice to make. Forced to support his mother and keep his home in order, he must do what he can to survive. He cannot afford to give art and expression his time. His is the world of the punching clock. Until he picks up a microphone and stirs up a passion he never knew he possessed.

Millie feels equal parts comforted and trapped, standing in her boyfriend's shadow. And she is more aware than most that soon the outside world will dictate the future of their relationship. Never did she plan on getting lost let alone in music. She had never believed it was truly who she was.

Rick's parents plan his life in meticulous detail while he hides his metal fandom in the garage with his drum kit. When he steps out of shadows, and into the company of others, he comes to see that he has more to share with the world than he ever could have believed. And it would be all too easy for it to slip free of his grasp.

Aiden, Millie and Rick's lives intertwine, thrown together by chance but forever united by music.

Play It Again is a coming-of-age novel which examines three very different lives tied together by the power of music.
