About
A slow scale of notes morphed into their own tune: something wistful, sweet, and simple. Fingers tinkled on the valves like stars dancing steps across a stage, cheeks ballooning out like a supernova about to explode sound across the room, the lips... The lips removed themselves from the mouthpiece, her pink tongue slowly licking the dryness away. But her eyes. Those emerald beauties were staring straight at me... * * *What is Auralye? A fantasy? A dream come true? The perfect woman?What Patrick Almont, failed composer turned music teacher, discovers nine years after seeing her first as a beautiful and innocent child in a play, is that Auralye is now a mature, sexy, and intelligent teenager in his class - everything he could ever have imagined turned into reality. But can this fantasy really come true, even at the expense of his entire career? Can Patrick Almont resist the allure of such a temptation as Auralye, or will the obsession and desire to declare his love for one of his own students destroy him? Hailing from Gisborne, New Zealand, Warwick Stubbs has spent most of his adult life experiencing an array of different jobs starting in Auckland, and ending up in Invercargill. Time down south allowed him to pursue a Bachelor Degree in Contemporary Music (Composition Major) while leading a heavy progressive rock band in between. After leaving study he continued his sampling of part-time jobs which would come to inspire a number of scenes for his first novel 'I am the Local Atheist'.Stubbs has written stories since a young age, poetry on occasion, but says the majority of his literary efforts during his late teens and 20s was invested in writing song lyrics, of which he has produced over 250. "Song lyrics, like poetry, provide a platform to create pictures in short form, but there needs to be a great deal more focus on what is being conveyed and how that fits into the canvas of music that sits behind it." A collection of some of these lyrics has been projected for the near future.
