Magical Mystery Time unfolds in Greater Hartford

Former Connecticut resident Brooke Halpin has authored a fifth book, "A Magical Mystery Time," that takes place in the Greater Hartford region during the Beatles years.

The book includes names of popular music performance places back in the '60's (The Galaxy Room, Flingo, The George) and restaurants (Ollie's Steak House, The Hearthstone, The Farm Shop, etc.).

Synopsis: From February 1964 to 1970, it was a magical, mysterious time when the Beatles were a powerful force that shaped an entire generation of teens throughout the world. Trevor Hampton, a character the novel, was one of those teens. Trevor was so infatuated with and enamored by the Beatles, that he thought he was a Beatle.

A Magical Mystery Time, based on a true story, is about Trevor's musical dreams and aspirations of becoming a successful rock and roller, who devoutly followed everything the Beatles did. But there were pot holes and dead ends on this obstacle laden long and winding road, that led Trevor to disillusionment and shattered dreams. Before he could move forward with his false identity and life beyond the Beatles, he had to get back to his past and resolve outstanding issues. 

Was he able to get off his magical mystery ride and come down to earth? Would he ever get beyond yesterday? A Magical Mystery Time will take you on a wild, unpredictable ride filled with rock and roll dreams and altered states of mind. It will also transport you to the magical 1960's, when peace and love was a reality.

The book is available at Amazon and iTunes Bookstore.
