About the Book

It's now 2016. John Palmer, the founder of the world famous rock and roll group, The Jerusalem Blues Band, is looking to get back in the music industry. His band and his songs have been gone from the charts for about thirty some years. He cannot accept not being relevant in the music business any longer. He feels lost in his life and travels to California from his home state of Missouri to start his comeback. His self-esteem has been jolted slightly and he thinks of himself as The Man of Misplaced Destiny. It's this personal strife that motivates Palmer to get busy and make his dreams a reality. Palmer is now fifty-eight years old. He is single. His passion for fishing is fanatical. He moves to San Diego and meets a beautiful woman his own age, working as a waitress in the dining room of the hotel he is staying. Her name is Chloe Hill. She has two adult children, one in college in Memphis and the other in the military stationed in Germany. John and Chloe go on a date for an afternoon fishing trip and a long talk on the beach. They become companions, move in together and eventually get married. John Palmer decides he wants to call California his home for good. He buys a palatial home in Del Mar overlooking the ocean. He invites Chloe to move in with him and she accepts. It is there that he begins to feel he has created a headquarters for himself to start working on his goal of writing a hit song and get back into the music business after such a long hiatus. He has visions of having a reunion tour of the old band one day. That possibility has its own set of circumstances to overcome. He finds a way. Once settled into his new house, Palmer starts working in his home studio eight hours a day to get back in musical shape. He connects with a neighbor who is a musician, James Moses. John and James become good friends. They form a duo that John names Moses Alone and start gigging locally on weekends. Palmer is determined to reunite The Jerusalem Blues Band. He believes he has found an opening to accomplish this difficult feat. He first wants the band to perform a ninety-minute show at his old high school in Raytown Missouri to raise money for the school's music program. Palmer has been asked to give a speech there, possibly the commencement address at graduation. This would be a great place to have a musical reunion. The guys are not sold on the idea when he initially presents to them. He then closes the deal and convinces the old band members after a wealthy woman in Texas has offered to pay the group TWO MILLION DOLLARS to come out of retirement and play at her husband's birthday party. It is at this party that Matt Palmer introduces his new song, The Man of Misplaced Destiny. The song goes over extremely well and eventually becomes a hit single for the band. After the Missouri and Texas gigs, the band does a short tour of the cities they first played in the Southwest United States in the nineteen-seventies. All the shows are sold-out right away. John Palmer has written another hit song and wins yet another Grammy Award. After such a long time away from the music business, that is now very different from when he was a rising star, Palmer has reached his goal and has become triumphant. He is recognized as being a relevant shining star once again. He no longer has to think of himself as The Man of Misplaced Destiny. He is a world champion.
