I’d love to review my own book, but that’s sort of against the ToS! 🤣
But *YOU* can review it—and I’d be so appreciative if you did.
Reviews really help authors get their books noticed. So if you’ve read it:
1. THANK YOU. ❤️
2. Please consider leaving an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. 🙏

I enjoyed my birthday weekend and even got myself a present: BOOKMARKS! They’re like business cards but more functional. 😄 I’ll make sure to have a few on hand at my next concert! 💃🕺

Ever since I published “Behind the Setlist,” I’ve been the target of these spammy emails. I guess it’s a rite of passage for an indie author, but if you’re gonna try to scam me, at least put some effort into it! Sheesh! 😂

Amazon has discounted the paperback by 8 cents! 🤣🤷🏼♀️ I have no idea why, but it’s telling that it can be delivered *tomorrow* with Prime. It’s “print on demand,” which under normal circumstances would mean Amazon would need a few days to fulfill an order. This tells me they printed one or more extras…

Wow, this review! 😍 They really understood Mia’s predicament! And I love the juxtaposition with “Almost Famous”… Mia definitely doesn’t want to be a “Band-Aid.” 😉
I somehow need to get Cameron Crowe’s eyes on this. Who’s got the hookup?

It’s Duran Duran Appreciation Day (DDAD), and today I’m expressing my appreciation not only for my favorite band but for the best Duran Duran archivist on Planet Earth, Andrew Golub, and this fabulous testimonial he wrote for “Behind the Setlist”…

The best day of the year for the best band on Planet Earth! I appreciate Duran Duran today and every day — and so does Mia, the protagonist in “Behind the Setlist.” They say to “write what you know,” so of course DD had to make it into the book. Happy DDAD2026, everyone! 🥰

Wow, what a coincidence… Today is National Book Lovers Day, and I just so happen to love my book. 😆
What are the odds? Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. 😂
You can love it too — in ebook or paperback! Both will be available this Wednesday; Kindle can be preordered now. 📚

Two important women in my life read an advance of “Behind the Setlist,” and I love that they both zeroed in on a part of Mia’s journey that was important to me from the beginning: figuring out where the line is between what you want, what someone else wants from you & who you know yourself to be…

I went to see Jane’s Addiction in 2016. I got attacked by giant silver beach balls, needed medical attention, complained to the band’s management — and ended up with a story I’ll never forget, about the kindness of Peter Katsis.
