Always Chasing Shadows: The Maxamus Zephyr Story

By Tarquin Stark

Maxamus Zephyr. As the principal songwriter and lead guitarist he was supposed to be his bands driving vehicle to success. His band: Capsaicin, however dropped into the pitfalls of superstardom... Drugs, egos and arguments, and they dissolved before they had a chance to fulfil their large potential. Max tries to suffocate his distain towards his own failures through all he knows... Alcohol and women. Two years after the death of his band he tries to juggle his love of the female of the species, spending time with his ragtag friends, dealing with the constant disappointment he causes his father, the thoughts of what could have been and finally the pressures to produce from his friend and manager to come out of the haze of obscurity and work through the writer's block that haunts him, to show the talent that got his band the reputation of the next big thing. The battling, the boozing. The fucking and the fighting. The inner demons and an inability to say it any other way, than the way it is. The rock n roll star with no rock n roll band, that has become a lost soul looking for fulfilment that is more than just temporary. Always chasing shadows is funny, bittersweet, and relatable. Blatant, in your face rock n roll, and if you're not into that type of thing then get the fuck out of here. ACS not only tells the story of this fallen fallen hero, but also covers many issues of everyday life such as relationships, family, sex, lost dreams, the way the modern world is going, and the blunt honesty of how a certain type of man talks when they are in the company of just other men. If this book offends you... Instead of complaining, just stop reading it.
