It Really IS Rocket Science, A Rock'n'Roll Fantasy - A Rock'n'Roll Fantasy (Paperback)

Rocker-in-self-exile Blar Umlaut spots an enchanting goth princess in a snowstorm. The chain of events that follow lead to a revival of his career, a new band, romance, adventure, and dark hilarity with the trio of women he befriends. "The Lost Girls" need a bootstrap to break into the music business. Blar isn't certain whether he's helping because he's smitten or because it would be a crime to let their outstanding talent go unnoticed. Being merely human, it's a lot of both. It Really IS Rocket Science ... after all. Blar is waking up after a decade of melancholy over screwing up his first band and first love. Tsika, goth bass player, has her own goals and priorities in band and life. Kpau, drummer and wild breeze, wants life to be a roller coaster. Glycerin, lead guitarist, is an enigmatic mystery even to her closest friend. Set in Portland, Oregon initially and eventually leading to all parts of the globe; grounded in the modern music business; the story is a dark comedy about misfits making a musical life together and reflects that life is funny, tragic, wonderful, scary ... sometimes all in the same moment. This is the first volume of a series following the life, adventures, romances, and antics of the eccentric and quirky members of a rock band.
