Books by Jon Edwards

This book is written to acknowledge the Year of The Blues, 2003. The story is set in the south during the late 1950's. A teenager from New England joins the carnival and meets a girl while traveling through Alabama. They befriend an aging black blues musician and vow to get him recorded. Oblivious to the challenges of the southern culture and the music industry they are undaunted in their determination to get him a record deal. The perils they face bond them closer together as they travel throughout the south. The fact that it is written by a career musician lends the story more authenticity.

Brought up as female for fifteen years, Jon can remember feeling different from other girls since he was only five years old.
