Booker T. Mattison Presents His Novel "Unsigned Hype"    [Add to My Events] Join Booker T. Mattison as he presents his new novel, "Unsigned Hype." Tory Tyson may only be in high school, but he knows what he wants out of life--a successful music career. And he's not going to learn about all that at school. So when school lets out next month he's not going back. He's finally ready to stop spinning old records at parties and start laying down his own beats--and the Unsigned Hype music contest is the perfect place to launch his career.
