Writing

2006 The Accompanist
a novel by Robert L. Quinn

(ogmapress.com, 2006)

The story follows the career and loves of Moore Fitzgerald, a concert pianist, who sides with his artistic nemesis to learn the highest art.  From his cell in a prison for the politically-incorrect in Galway, sometime in the future, the accompanist reflects on his life of wasted promise and tragedies.  Tormented by his former lovers and dead child, he refines his own philosophy on life, music and modern times.
