Bright Red Devil

by Ralph Bland

Set in 2010 Nashville, Tennessee, Bright Red Devil chronicles eight months in the life of Jake Maynor. Once the city’s foremost radio disc jockey, he has in a decade descended to the depths of occupational ruin and moral decay. Jake now searches for peace while confronting his personal demons and finding his way to a world without drama and turbulence. Along this path he deals with floods, lust, disgust with himself and the world around him, death, and a reoccurring case of unrequited love. Wandering through his existence while trying to right the wrongs of his colorful past, Jake watches his beloved Music City USA change and turn into something as strange and mysterious as himself. Growing older and weirder at all stops, he is forced to attempt to grow up at long last, one of those frightening things he never thought he’d have to do.
