Travel Back In Time To Victorian England With Roland Colton
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Be swept away with Roland Colton, an author, pianist, attorney and world-traveler. His groundbreaking novel, "Forever Gentleman," mates music with the written word in a style reminiscent of 19th century authors. Some of the compositions in the e-version of the book had never been written (since they are composed by characters in the story). Find out how Roland came up with the idea for a music e-version and what process he used to create the amazing compositions. Roland discusses how he chose Victorian England (circa 1869-1870) as the setting and what research he performed for writing "Forever Gentleman" and how he immersed himself in 19th-century literature.
