Unpublished Stories
Instramental Misfits Collection
Dive Bar Beauty Queen
This story is one you’ve heard many times before. However, it is not about the bad boy musician who meets a good girl, or even how they fall in love. It’s not about how they live the struggling musician lifestyle of fast food, sleeping in vans and crappy pay, or about the good girl who works her butt off running the merch table, booking gigs, networking and writing his songs. The happy ending does not even happen when she marries the Bad Boy as he becomes mega-famous.
The real story happens years later when she is divorced and forgotten.
Kat Williams finishes up the dishes in the beatup sink behind the bar, grabs a rag to wipe her hands off and walks onto a small stage. She picks up a beat-up old banjo and the minute her metal finger picks hit the strings, pure country music magic happens that makes every boot in the room stomp to her finger pickin’ rhythm.
Here’s the thing. Unlike every other night, not everyone in the audience is a local.

The Orchestra Pit
Stix McGee has never fit into a box. She’s the bass player for one of the biggest country music bands on the charts and her full figure, rockabilly style stands out in the sea of cowboy hats. That story has been told time, and time again, and holds little consequence to the journey that is about to unfold.
It takes one fateful night of drinking over a broken heart and Stix passing out on her couch that will lead to a friend discovering a secret passion laying around on her counter. They not only take a peek, they steal it and submit that manuscript into a competition hosted by some of the most prestigious music schools in the country.
When it gets accepted, let’s just say the educational scholars don’t welcome her sparkling personality with open arms when she walked into the room. They only judged what they saw before them, and that wasn’t a muti-platinum, grammy winning artist.
Little do they know, their judgements only fuels the fire and with the help of her crazy friends, Stix is about to shatter their boring mold like Mentos in a coke bottle.
