Author Information

FRED ADAMS, JR. began playing the guitar at the age of eight and has been playing professionally for over fifty years. He has worked with just about every kind of band, group, orchestra, and ensemble, and of course he has worked as a solo act since the eighties. Adams has written for Guitar Player Magazine, including Man Does not Read by Tab Alone, the Guest Editorial for the magazine's 20th Anniversary issue. When he's not gigging in Southwestern Pennsylvania venues, he writes fiction. His novels Hitwolf, Six Gun Terror, vol.1 and vol.2, and C.O. Jones: Mobsters and Monsters have been published over the past two years by Airship 27 Productions, with more to come. How would I characterize myself? I live in perpetual terror of boredom. Twenty Frets, No Nets is his twelfth book.
