Rainy Season Kurt Brindley

In Tokyo to escape a bitter past, love was the last thing Rich was looking for, especially with an alluring jazz club singer shrouded in mystery... Tokyo during rainy season, when the sun rarely shines and the days are hot, wet, and long, is the perfect place for a man like Rich, a man who has traveled the world trying to outrun a past determined to haunt him forever. Settled now in a street-side apartment, Rich spends his Tokyo days mostly out on the balcony where he leans against the railing, smokes his cigarettes, and watches the rain as it falls upon a sea of umbrellas flowing by on the sidewalk below. But he spends his nights at The Low Point, a mostly unknown, cozy little jazz club where he is left alone to smoke, write in his journal, and drink Japanese whiskey... a lot of it. With Tokyo, the largest metropolis in the world, Rich has become, if not happy, then at least content within his self-imposed solitude. That is until Miko is hired on to perform at the club. With her comes beauty, grace, a magical singing voice, and a large following that turns the once obscure jazz club into the it place to be. Also with her comes trouble... a lot of it. Rainy Season, a novella.
