The Music Man JR. is family entertainment at its best - a bold, brassy show that will have the whole town atwitter! Master showman Harold Hill is in town, and he's got "seventy-six trombones" in tow. Can upright, uptight Marian, the town librarian, resist his powerful allure? The story follows fast-talking traveling salesman Harold Hill as he cons the people of River City, Iowa into buying instruments and uniforms for a boys' band he vows to organize. The catch? He doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef. His plans to skip town with the cash are foiled when he falls for Marian, whose belief in Harold’s power just might help him succeed in the end in spite of himself.

A FARAWAY PLACE, novel for 4th-7th Graders
by Peter Fields 20 Jul '18

20 Jul '18

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: contact: Peter Anthony Fields peteroctb(a)gmail.com *A FARAWAY PLACE, a middle grade novel, now available on Amazon.com* Peter Anthony Fields, former indie filmmaker, now playwright, announces the release of his first novel entitled, *A Faraway Place, *a fantasy/adventure for middle graders (4th grade through 7th grade). *A Faraway Place*, purchase through Amazon.com <https://www.amazon.com/dp/198333975X?ref_=pe_870760_150889320> Summary: Twelve year old Jacob Cobbs is about to embark on an incredible odyssey that will take him to a parallel earth where he must destroy an evil sorcerer king named Gerard. Jacob must accomplish this task before the king can steal Jacob's "life force", which would give King Gerard the power he needs to enter our earth and establish his new, evil kingdom. *A Faraway Place* is a thrilling, frightening, and spine-tingling fantasy/adventure about one boy’s’ journey to find within himself the strength, courage, hope, and determination to end the reign of an evil sorcerer and save two worlds from destruction. Fields, a resident of Kent, Ohio, says, "I absolutely loved reading books when I was a kid, back in the late seventies and eighties, and I always thought that it was so cool that authors would write some of the most amazing stories for kids to read. As I grew older, I found myself wanting to do the same-- kind of like "giving back" or "paying forward". I took the opportunity to do that when I was making my indie films, but I still had a longing to do the same as an author-- a novelist was actually my first choice for a profession during my formative years. I like to think of *A Faraway Place* as a kind of "throwback" to the type of fantasy/adventures that I read when I was a child, thirty-plus years ago." *A Faraway Place* is available to purchase as a paperback or Kindle edition through Amazon.com. Follow the link below. *A Faraway Place*, purchase through Amazon.com <https://www.amazon.com/dp/198333975X?ref_=pe_870760_150889320> Sincerely, *Peter Anthony Fields* *(a.k.a., Peter Gould)* *Playwright* *Official Website <https://peteroctb.wixsite.com/peteranthonyfields>* *Facebook Professional Page <https://www.facebook.com/peteranthonyfields8playwright/>*
