For instance, Jet’s response to seeing her mother after her stroke was my response to seeing my Momma after hers. I also shared many good times (and bad) from my own life. I shared with my readers many characters who are loosely (and not-so-loosely) based on people I love, including Tex, Tod, Stevie, Ally, Annette, Nick, Reba, and Herb and Trish. This is the first series where I let my Rock Chick Flag fly and decided to write what I wanted, to hell with “the rules.” I started this series because I was living in England and very homesick for Denver, pouring out these words as a love letter to that city, my country, and the people I left in them. I hope you feel Ally does you justice because I think you kick ass and I know you can do anything (mostly because you’ve already done it).Īnd last, I have to share with my readers that this book was the most difficult book I’ve ever written. Kelita, when we were in that cave in Venezuela and you rushed ahead to spot that old lady in her clickity-clack heels (in a cave!), leaving me behind to watch where every foot fell (and fear the bats hanging from the ceiling), I was in awe. Second, I want to thank my best bud Kelly Brown who was the inspiration for Ally. So thank you, darlin’, for a great title that fits this book perfectly. I had other thoughts and other suggestions, but Ebony’s suggestion wouldn’t let me go. Ebony contacted me eons ago with the title suggestion and I loved it the minute I read it. Miss you, Kerrie.įirst, credit has to be given to Ebony Evans for the title of this book, Rock Chick Revolution. And lucky for me, I’m a member of hers too. My first fan outside my posse-I’m pleased as punch she’s now a member of that crew. This book is dedicated to Kerrie Gisborne, a reader who turned into a friend.
