Kansas City (both of them) native, Janet Fisher, now a professional songwriter and music publisher, has some new "truths" to tell about the music industry through her new book, "Music Horror Stories: A Collection Of Gruesome, True Tales As Told By Actual Innocent Victims Seeking A Career In The Music Business" (ISBN 0970356374).

From the opening band at Woodstock, to the girl who "couldn't" play for Bob Dylan, a reader becomes party to insider stories about the life of the working musician.

Fisher, who was raised in, and explored the beginnings of her music career, in KCMO and KCKS.
In the 70's she was a regular performer in the River Quay, Westport, and the Plaza, as well as colleges, army bases, and society parties. Since then, Fisher has been working in Hollywood, writing and publishing songs for film and TV uses, and has now author/edited this entertaining book.

The actual 208 page read is full of more belly
laughs and comic irony than one might think from the title. Anyone who has been employed by, or known someone employed by, the entertainment industry will definitely enjoy the pictures painted here.

Along with original "scary art," contributed by artist gak, the printing also contains an
invitation for the reader to enter their own Horror Story for possible sequels.

"My kid wanted to drop out of school and start a band. Then I left a copy of MUSIC HORROR STORIES
on his bed...now all he ever talks about is being accepted at a good college." quips the alleged
parent of an ex-wannabe.

"MUSIC HORROR STORIES" has its own self-titled URL website, www.music-horror-stories.com , which contains a history of how the book was compiled, and is also found at amazon.com.
