Sinner's Creed (Hardcover)

Sinner's Creed
Sinner's Creed (Hardcover)
By Scott Stapp

Review & Description

Sinners Creed is the uncensored memoir of Scott Stapp, Grammy Award¬¬–winning leader of the multiplatinum rock band CREED. Raised by an abusive stepfather, Scott was always aware of God’s presence in his life, but it wasn't until years later, amid a life punctuated by sex, drugs, and rock ’n’ roll that Scott began to feel a need for God in his life.

During CREED’s decade of dominance and in the years following the band’s breakup, Scott struggled with drugs and alcohol, which led not only to a divorce, but also to a much-publicized suicide attempt in 2006. Now clean, sober, and in the midst of a highly successful solo career, Scott has finally come full circle—a turnaround he credits to his renewed relationship with Jesus Christ.

In Sinner's Creed, Scott shares his story for the first time—from his fundamentalist upbringing, the rise and fall of CREED, and his ongoing battle with addiction, to his recommitment to Christ and the launch of his solo career. The result is a gripping memoir that is proof positive that God is always present in our lives, despite the colossal mess we sometimes make of them. Read more

Review & Description

Genre: LGBT Contemporary
Series: Lucky Moon; Previous Book: Moonlight Becomes You

Rock star Nick Ventura has finally hit rock bottom. Jealous of his brother’s new love, he starts overindulging in his usual vices and winds up crashing his car into a department store in a drunken haze. Publicly humiliated and on the verge of jail time, he enters into a court-ordered rehabilitation program.

Nutritionist Luka Novak is flamboyant, effeminate, the type of gay man that bisexual Nick would normally sneer at. His sunny nature hides a deep hurt from a previous relationship. Luka knows he should be wary of Nick’s reputation, but he’s drawn to Nick despite himself. Their tentative friendship turns into romance, but Luka soon comes to realize that Nick's fear of losing his bad boy reputation means he'll probably never go public with their relationship.

Nick never thought he needed anyone, until Luka Novak came into his life. Now he has to reconcile his carefree past with the future he suddenly wants more than anything. And the first lesson he has to learn is how to become the man that both he and Luka need him to be, the luckiest man, rather than stay the boy he always was. Alone.

Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual situations, graphic language, and material that some readers may find objectionable: male/male sexual practices.Genre: LGBT Contemporary

You're the who? (Band & Stage Name Origins+Rock Connections)
You're the who? (Band & Stage Name Origins+Rock Connections) (Kindle Edition)
By John Darling

Review & Description

It must have been around 1957, I know I could not have been much more than five years old, when I saw my mom dancing around the kitchen for the first time. I remember that my dad, being of a sound religious mind at the moment, did not care too much for the sight. But my mom still danced. She said she loved rock and roll. The person that was making my mom dance was Elvis Presley—the King of Rock & Roll.

This began my introduction to music. Even though I am tone deaf and can’t carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it, I still have my mom’s love of music in me. I love all kinds: rock, classic, country western, show-tunes, and so on. If it has a beat or a melody, I usually like it. I suppose that with my early indoctrination, it would be inevitable that someday I would write a book about music, or more precisely, the makers of music.

I have written and published all types of work, from short stories to poems to articles but this book is truly a labor of love. In it I show how that the creative process, besides the writing, playing, and singing of music, includes the choosing of a name. Most of the time bands pick their names as result of pure inspiration, but the names can be chosen out desperation as well. You just never knew—until now.

Be sure to read some of the letters/emails I received from some to the bands in this book. They are listed after ZZ Top!It must have been around 1957, I know I could not have been much more than five years old, when I saw my mom dancing around the kitchen for the first time.

Review & Description

What would YOU do if your favourite rock star asked to marry you? Charming, honest, funny and sometimes bitter-sweet, this novel tells the story of one young woman’s entanglement with a rock star.

Slapper. Slut. Adulteress. These are hardly words that Sophie Penhalligan would normally use to describe herself. And yet this is exactly how she is behaving, all things considered, even if she isn’t quite married to Tim yet. Aged nineteen, she travelled halfway across the country to honour an invitation by her favourite rock band, Tusk, to join them for the last gig of their tour. And now her past is coming to tempt her... How could Tim ever stand a chance against Dan, the charming, handsome lead-singer? How could she?

Sophie, now twenty-eight and a budding newspaper journalist, is happily embroiled in a relationship with Tim, her boyfriend of two years. Until recently, she was confident that Tim would eventually propose—probably as soon as he could get his act together. But just as Tim’s persistent inaction is beginning to cast a cloud over their relationship, Dan’s sudden reappearance turns Sophie’s world upside down. Thus unfolds a roller-coaster of events including an ill-fated trip to Paris with Tim, a night of unfulfilled romance with Dan, Sophie and Tim’s engagement party gate-crashed by Dan, and Sophie’s professional secondment to accompany Dan’s band on their revival tour—at Dan’s special request and very much against her will.

And then, one fine day in Paris, Sophie suddenly finds herself engaged to Dan while her erstwhile fiancĂ© Tim is... well, doing whatever it is Tim does back in London. What is she to do now? Who wouldn’t give anything to meet their favourite star, let alone marry him?

Find out how Sophie gets into this impossible situation, and how she turns it around, in Sophie’s Turn, a modern romantic fairy tale. Sophie's Turn is the first part in the Rock Star Romance Trilogy Series. Part Two is expected for release in summer 2012.

Heartbreaker (Kindle Edition)

Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker (Kindle Edition)
By Julie Morrigan

Review & Description

All Johnny Burns ever wanted was to be in a band. When he and his best friend Tom Watson founded Heartbreaker, they realised their wildest dreams a hundred times over.

If the sixties was a naive and charming flower child, then the seventies was her big, bad older brother; darker, more worldly, less giving … and the eighties was his garishly-painted and promiscuous girlfriend. It’s no wonder against such a backdrop that things could become confused — and that dreams could turn to heartbreak.

When Alex Weston is hired to ghostwrite a book about the life of Johnny Burns and his band — from playing down-and-dirty pubs and clubs in the sixties, through the excesses of seventies stadium rock to eighties meltdown — even she isn’t prepared for the depths of excess, betrayal and guilt that she uncovers.

At the heart of the Heartbreaker story lies the tragic deaths of two members of a band at the very summit of its success — deaths wrapped in a web of secrets and lies. As Alex sets out to learn more and digs deeper into the past, she is forced to realise that she may have to confront Johnny’s part in the devastating events of all those years ago …
