When twenty-one-year-old Greg Bounder, a brash, wealthy college student, meets his one-time singing idol, Sally Testata, at a Scranton bar, he seizes the opportunity to create an exciting career for himself by managing her comeback.
With the half-million dollar inheritance from his grandfather, Greg intends to restart the career of this forty-something, washed-up singer. But first, he must convince her, his conservative Philadelphia family, and all the doubters that he has what it takes to make it big before he blows through his inheritance. With the help of his gay brother, Marcus, a DJ in New York-and a lot of money-Greg orchestrates Sally's return.
The result is a whirlwind year in New York as their hit single "Grind" climbs up the charts, but Greg soon finds that Sally might be more than he bargained for. While struggling to reap a return on his investment, Greg needs to figure out how to keep Sally clean and out of trouble, and keep her from grabbing the wrong kind of headlines.

Off the Charts!: A Novel
Chapter One
A twenty-first birthday is supposed to be a momentous occasion, but I had no idea just how momentous mine would end up being.I was out with a couple of buds celebrating my coming of age, and we ended up in a dive called Fat Bo's. We stumbled into the place a little after seven, laughing about I don't know what. The hoped-for big celebration didn't look promising.
I bet it hadn't changed much since the miners had been in town. Three walls were a peeling, faded red paint and one wall was brick. It was dimly lit with a few swinging overhead lights with red bulbs, and crooked sconces haphazardly lined the walls, many hanging by one screw. It was a neighborhood bar with older guys wearing Steelers caps and flannel shirts and drinking beer, and hardly a woman in sight. A few guys clacked balls around the handful of billiard tables scattered around the large room. The bar itself was long, the entire length of the back wall, and curled around to a dark corner where, sipping a beer, one larger-than-life woman-big blonde hair, big tits, big round ass on the stool-caught my eye.
We took in the scene for a few seconds before I turned to Rick Puccio, my ridiculously bulked up friend and fellow wrestler on the University of Scranton team. "What exactly is the attraction of this place?"
