Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I grew up thinking that my mother was a groupie who didn’t want me. It wasn’t much different that the home I grew up in where my rock star father and his wife didn’t want me either. At least they let me stick around, even if that’s all they managed. Everything I thought I knew about my mother was a lie. The rest was still true. After nearly dying, blowing up my family’s unsavory secrets in public, and running away to hang out with an up-and-coming band, you would think life couldn’t get more eventful for me. You’d be wrong. Life on the road was supposed to be about disappearing. Instead, I found myself and something else too. I found love and acceptance and I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world. *NOTE: The Groupie Journal is a full-length rock star romance novel with some bonus material added!

Download or read book I m With the Band Confessions of a Groupie written by Pamela Des Barres and published by Omnibus Press. This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1987, New York Times bestseller, I’m With The Band has been reprinted throughout the years, all over the world. This is the stylish, exuberant and sweetly innocent tale of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s. Beginning with Pamela Des Barres’ early obsession with Elvis, her own Beatlemania madness, and her fierce determination to meet the musicians who rocked her world, I’m With The Band illuminates the glory days of scintillating encounters with musical gods including Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, Mick Jagger and Keith Moon. A girl just wanting to have fun, Des Barres immersed herself in the drugs, danger and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. As a member of The GTOs (Girls Together Outrageously), an all-female group masterminded by Frank Zappa, Des Barres was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. She travelled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons and Ray Davies. She had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. A woman in possession of her own destiny, Des Barres blazed a trail for women’s life-writing, standing up for female voices and experience everywhere. From original diaries, told with great warmth, chutzpah and joie de vivre, this is a frank memoir that wears its heart on its sleeve, and recalls one of rock ’n’ roll’s most thrilling eras. This edition contains new material from the author, including her response to the vitriolic shaming of groupies, and a foreword by Roisin O’Connor, rock journalist and music correspondent for the Independent.

Download or read book Groupies written by Sarah Priscus and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-07-12 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What a thrill it is to read Sarah Priscus’ 70s rock, California-dreaming Groupies. This shimmering debut is packed with tenderness and awe against a backdrop of drugs, sex, rock stars, and high drama. Faun is a lovable, believable, and wonderfully drawn character who will remain in my heart and mind for a very, very long time." — Jessica Anya Blau, author of Mary Jane In a debut perfect for fans of Daisy Jones & The Six, Mary Jane, and The Final Revival of Opal & Nev, Sarah Priscus shines a bright light on the grungy yet glittery world of 1970s rock 'n' roll and the women – the groupies – who unapologetically love too much in a world that doesn’t love them back. It’s 1977, and Faun Novak is in love with rock ‘n’ roll. After her mother’s death, Faun, a naïve college dropout, grabs her Polaroid and hops a Greyhound to Los Angeles. In the City of Angels, she reconnects with her charismatic childhood friend Josie, now an up-and-coming model and muse. To make their reunion even sweeter, Josie is now dating Cal Holiday, the frontman of the superstar rock band Holiday Sun, and Faun is positively mesmerized. Except it’s not just the band she can’t get enough of. It’s also the proud groupies who support them in myriad ways. Among the groupies are: a doting high school girl at war with her mother; a drug-dealing wife and new mom who longs to be a star herself; and a cynical mover-and-shaker with a soft spot for Holiday Sun’s bassist. Faun obsessively photographs every aspect of this dazzling new world, struggling to balance her artistic ambitions with the band’s expectations. As her confidence grows for the first time in her life, her priorities shift. She becomes reckless with friendship, romance, her ethics, and her bank account. But just as everything is going great and her boring, old life is falling away, Faun realizes just how blind she has been to the darkest corners of this glamorous musical dreamland as the summer heats up and everything spirals out of control . . . Equal parts an evocative coming-of-age and a cutting look at fame, desire, and the media, Groupies is a novel that will have you turning the pages until the music- and drug-fueled end.

Download or read book Walker written by Christine Michelle and published by Moonlit Dreams Publications. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WALKER: I watched her from afar, despite the fact that my MC brothers strictly prohibited me from any interaction with my ex-wife. Her life was beautiful now, the way it never could have been with me. I thought I could beat the odds, deny the truth, and hide behind my club. After Poppy, I swore I’d never do that to another woman. Then Ressa came along and couldn’t leave well enough alone. REESA My best friend married into the Aces High MC – Sierra High Chapter. I spent a lot of time hanging out with her and a bunch of bikers as a result. The club had turned over a new leaf in recent years, becoming more family oriented where they had apparently failed other members before. Members like Walker and his ex-wife, if the stories were true. Having heard those stories, you would think I would avoid the man like the plague. He was an unapologetic cheater from what they said. The fact that he walked around with his heartbreak clear in his actions spoke to me more than the stories did. He didn’t want to get involved with me. I didn’t want to give up. Something in his broken soul called to me, and mine wouldn’t rest until his could too. Note: Walker was first introduced in Redemption Weather (Aces High MC - Cedar Falls book 1) by Christine Michelle. While you don't have to read that book first, it is a good starting point to find out what happened in his past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the readers who asked, and then asked again, and again! You guys are gluttons for punishment, and this is the book you wanted, so you got it! Welcome to Merc and Tiger Lily’s story. It starts where all stories should, in the beginning. This is the very broken beginning that won’t feel much at all like a romance, because it isn’t. Their road is bumpy, the ride is rough, and your heart might get a little bruised along the way. I hope you’re ready. You asked for this! xo, Christine Michelle BOOK DESCRIPTION: Tiger Lily When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of my wedding. I dreamed of my husband, my children, my future. When I developed a crush on the gorgeous boy who was my neighbor, he became the man in those dreams. When he took my virginity, those dreams were at the forefront of my mind, turning just another hook up - for him - into something more in my heart. Unrequited love feels like hell when you realize it’s unrequited. It feels worse when you see those two pink lines on the stick telling you that your one fantasy night turned into so much more. It’s unbearable when your love is forced to marry you, but never honors the vows he took. My heartbreak lasted for years. Eventually, things changed but our path to get there was never easy. Merc She was the girl I always overlooked until one stupid night, and the worst decision of my life, cost me my freedom. She was the girl who trapped me with a kid I never wanted. Slowly, as time moved on and another kid was brought about by another dumb decision on my part, I began to realize what I had been overlooking all along. She was fiercely loyal in the face of my betrayals. She loved harder than any person I knew. She was always there for me, even when I never gave her the same courtesy in return. Then, she decided enough was enough and I learned to fight for what’s important instead of taking what was easy.

Book excerpt: Steeped in sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll, Lick Me takes the reader on a juicy journey through the life and times of the infamous Cherry Vanilla. A wunderkind on Madison Avenue in the swinging sixties, Cherry soon found fame as a DJ in clubs in Manhattan and on the French Riviera. She starred in Andy Warhol's play Pork in London while gaining notoriety as a groupie, sleeping with musicians ranging from Leon Russell to Kris Kristofferson. Working as David Bowie's PR lady (and occasional lover), she played a major part in introducing him to the U.S. market. She was on the front lines when punk broke, one of the few successful women in the genre; her backing band was the Police, and she released two insouciant albums on RCA. Cherry's memoir takes us on a journey from the birth of rock to the explosion of punk, exploring every aspect of the music industry during its most electrifying era, with memorable detours through the sexual revolution, the women's liberation movement, and the theater of the ridiculous. But Cherry's life wasn't all excitement and high times. From unwanted pregnancies to poverty and public ridicule, Lick Me also takes us through Cherry's own problems, including sex addiction and OCD, and reveals how she dealt with them. Lick Me reveals the thrilling life of a woman who pulled herself up from humble beginnings and fearlessly lived her dreams.

When I saw the opportunity to have him, I took it, even knowing the consequences could ruin us both. It was a decision I’d never regret. June I left on a family vacation the summer before senior year with an ache in my heart. Tripp couldn’t come with us. He had to stay behind because if he gave up his prospect position with the Savage Vipers, he would never have another chance. I understood, but I also felt like maybe my leaving for the summer would be the end of us. Tripp I reassured June that her trip abroad wouldn’t ruin us. In fact, I was planning on making her my old lady once she got back. By then, I hoped to have my patch and it would be nothing to make it official. Then, I met Kim. It was one night. One mistake. It changed everything. The entire course of my life that I once saw with June fell away in an instant. *Note: This bonus book dives into the past of the MC President's life, when Tripp was just a prospect.

Book #2) Chelle I was a stowaway, on tour with a rock band, because my brother and I both lost our paying gigs when his band Seduction and Sacrifice imploded. David had been their bass player; and I'd been their merch girl and all-around gofer. Instead of going on tour as part of the opening act David ended up getting a spot with the road crew. He pulled me along since we no longer had a means to afford our crappy L.A. apartment. I pretended to be one of the guys and blend in. It worked until he saw me, saw through my disguise, and then changed my world. Evan That was no dude dropping stuff by my kit. Too slight. Too sweet. Too beautiful for anyone to mistake her as anything but the feminine perfection she was yet the morons on the road crew had referred to her as a dude named MJ. One look from her stopped me cold. One smile of hers skipped my heart. One laugh brought it all back into focus. Then, one test changed everything. Forever. The Infinite Everything (T.I.E.

The lying, cheating, scheming piece of crap bassist for my brother’s band destroyed my faith in men.

One jealous ex-girlfriend, one crazy infatuation later, and I became public enemy number one. Then I waited to see if he would remain my savior, or prove that I was right the first time around… You can’t trust a rocker. Why the hell had I done so twice? He was the reason for the second chance, and my reason for everything that followed. *Note: The Infinite Something is over 102,000 words, a standalone book (future books in the series involve other people), and is intended for adult readers due to strong language, sexual situations, and some violence. 2nd Edition - Jan. 5, 2021
