First Draft to Published

1.      It’s scary! For some folks, that’ll be a reason not to read it. But for the rest of you, come on—you know you like a good scare. 2.      The main characters are, as one review put it, “strong characters who the reader can care for even when they aren’t on the best behavior.” And, being aspiring rock stars, they’re not often on their best behavior… 3.      It’s authentic. Maybe not the supernatural bits, but the behind-the-scenes look at a local rock band draws on experiences I’ve had over ten years of playing guitar in local bands. You can almost smell the spilled beer and feel the jolt as the water leaking from the venue’s crappy roof hits the guitar amplifier and zaps the heck out of you! 4.      It’s human. The characters face the kinds of choices we all face on a day-to-day basis, and they make good decisions and bad ones, just like the rest of us. 5.      There are lots of music references. If you’re into rock music, you’ll recognize tons of bands and inside jokes. 6
