Richard "Dick" Cooper

With his fifteen minutes of fame, and royalty cheques, long since run out, 70s rock star Poet Springs, now spends his days locked in his suburban basement trying desperately to avoid both sobriety and gainful employment.

It would seem that every time Poet ventures forth into the real world, terrible things happen. He's hounded by an international female revenge cult, threatened by mental patients turned kickboxing champions and all too often, he winds up in the emergency ward with minor brain damage; the result of coming in a distant second in various fist fights. Which may explain the sudden barrage of flashbacks from his band days: a past life populated by dwarf lawyers, crazed roadies, mobsters and groupies - and punctuated with bomb thefts, intermittent gunplay, Zamboni-jackings, acrobatic sex and occasionally – even music.

But if Poet’s past wasn’t crazy enough, his present troubles are just beginning. Take his wife, Erika who seems to be getting pretty chummy with hi-tech Baron, J.P. Mandel after being hired to decorate his Xanadu-like mansion. Even worse, Erika has come up with the crazy idea that Poet should get out of the basement and get a job!

With nothing to lose but his sanity, Poet must win back his wife, make peace with his past and stay one step ahead of both the neighbors and the cops. Which begs the question: You can take the boy out of rock ‘n roll... but can you ever take the rock’ n roll out of the boy?

As a former member of the popular 70s rock band "The Cooper Brothers", Richard Cooper brings his own real-life experiences to JUKEBOX, a comedic rock n' roll saga that offers a rare glimpse into the music business the way it really was.

Dangerous Days by Andy Halmay and David Stevenson




Actor and Stuntman David Stevenson and award winning playwright Andy Halmay teamed up to create the novel, and the script "Dangerous Days" an action book recently released by Rain Publishing out of Burlington Ontario.
David Stevenson has recently been hired on 'thatradioshow.com" as a host, starting out as a child actor Mr. Stevenson has many hits behind him as both an actor and stuntman.
Dangerous Days is available at local bookstores as well as online at rainbooks.com and Amazon.com
Anhedonia is a collection of short stories about people with obvious quirks, a morally displaced bunch of men and women out of synch in their own petty worlds and battling hard to maintain some sort of equilibrium. Their days are an abundance of either ennui or anhedonia; normal passions and interests are eschewed for macabre acts, strange follies and odd escapades. Many of the heroes of these fictions dwell on their peculiarity; ordinary everyday acts are sidelined in lieu of secret whims, perverted streaks. The old janitor of Kanashibari (a Japanese title) is far more interested in the strange goings on of the clandestine hospital staff than he is in his own meager life. The comical heroes of Insurrection On are like a futuristic Vladimir and Estragon; they cast away the shackles of their dull lives to become intimate with another, simply because that "other" appears different. In the title story a strange threesome dabble with dark ritualistic acts and fall apart only when their triangle is threatened by a wish to become normal.

The variety of stories (some veer into horror and science fiction) are an attempt to enlarge the peculiarities and foibles that are in all of us; chimera and whimsy refuse to give way to analysis or rationalism, moments of fancy tower over emotion or depth.

These contemporary urban gothic tales are rich in inventiveness and display a host of fractured souls, and every last one of them magnetic.
