Mitz
Mitz is a story about two people who find themselves living in a small, southern town, where life is as predictable as the days which are hot and muggy.
When Alex, a bachelor in his fifties, enters
into a relationship with the younger, attractive
Mitzy, he finds himself at odds with what he used
to be and what she wants him to be.
Tired of life and trying to hide his
associations from prying neighbors, Alex wants
nothing more than to simply be left alone with his
whiskey and jazz, but his reputation as a shady
promoter from Denver has him constantly
rethinking his friendships.
Wanting to please and wanting peace, Alex
is forced to make a decision that, like all his
previous, will lead him into an uncertain future.
Existential in tone with rye humor, Mitz is
a story that will give the reader an intimate
glimpse into the life of a man who has not only
been enriched by his actions but also impoverished
by the outcomes.

I really enjoyed listening to Brooks read his audio book, I like it when the author of the book is the one who reads their own book. They know just where to make their point. The story is about two neighbours who enjoy each others company, one is a little bit older and one a little younger. They enjoy the evening walks they take when it is a little cooler out side. The long talks they have, and a game of Bingogodda on some Friday nights. It is more about their friendship and about the past. Which each of us has a past. You will also get a chance to hear Brooks play and sing a song, he is a Great Musician as well as a Author. He don't play out very much any more if at all. If he has not took his song off his Audio book, he writes his own music as well. But he is just going to focus on his writing from now on, I hope you will enjoy his audio book as much as I have.
