All Flowers Die, the story of an idealistic musician whoafter inadvertently causing the fatal heart attack of his fifth grade teacherforms the rock band Brian's Sandbox as his vehicle to inspire fans to seize life's opportunities. All Flowers Die is set largely around the music scene of mid-eighties Boston. The realism in the descriptions of now-defunct nightclubs such as the Rat and the Channel, and the characters who populated them, have left many readers guessing if this novel truly is fiction. This attention to detail has prompted 106.1 FM radio disc jockey, "The Buddah," to hail the book as "the definitive Boston rock novel," while adding, "All Flowers Die is a must-read."
However, All Flowers Die is not merely a rock n' roll novel. Emerging from the musical aspects of the book is a highly engaging story with sharp, crisp dialogue delivered by believable characters.
Stone has capitalized upon his extensive musical background in the promotion of All Flowers Die. He has written and recorded "We Can Go Home Early," a song from Brian's Sandbox's repertoire, that is highly pertinent to the theme of the novel. The song, has been posted at the popular music Internet MP3.com www.mp3.com/brianssandbox where it is drawing enthusiastic listeners.
