Fallen For Rock
‘A thrilling and delicious story of love and self-discovery
woven around a broken romance that will make you turn page after page and cheer
to the end.’
Love, life, loyalties.
Nothing stays the same when Emily gets drawn into the world of rock.
Glossy and sophisticated professional high-flyer Emily has
no time for nonsense such as the rock music her ex-boyfriend Nate adored so
much. Yet when she unexpectedly comes into possession of VIP tickets—access all
areas—for new rock band phenomenon, MonX, she can’t resist the temptation.
The fateful gig turns into more than one night, and Emily
finds herself strangely drawn to this new and unfamiliar glittery world. However,
only weeks later, MonX and her own universe fall apart with devastating consequences
for all. When MonX lead singer Mike appeals for her help,
she reluctantly embraces a new opportunity. But she soon discovers that while
she may be a rock chick after all, a groupie
she is not… Or is she?
Just exactly where do her loyalties lie? And what direction
will her life take now that she’s left behind everything she treasured?

The Magic of Rock
‘It’s
the magic of rock,’ Nate’s voice whispered in my head, and I jumped. For a
second, I felt a little tearful. ‘The magic of rock’ was one of his favourite
expressions, but I had always laughed it off. Oh, if only Nate were with me. Maybe
the magic of rock would magically fix us, too.
The magic of rock. This is one of the key
phrases in Fallen for Rock. In fact, it’s what the book is all about. Falling
for the magic of rock.
Now, as you can see, Emily doesn’t get it.
At least not at the beginning. My challenge was to make her understand. So what is it, this ‘magic
of rock’? What does it mean? Well, let’s see.
It’s all about contradictions. Tough men
with long hair. Bad boys with golden voices. Loud music with complex harmonies.
Pounding rhythms and power ballads.
A good rock song is like a mini symphony.
It’s deceptive in its simplicity, and it gets people singing along. It gets
people involved with music. A rock
concert is a living, thriving body of musicians on stage and off stage. The
audience turns into a massive choir and percussion set. Everyone becomes part
of something larger, something unique and extraordinary, something that leaves
no room for everyday worries. For those two hours, the fans get swept away and
transported to another place where everything is (nearly) perfect.
A good rock musician is a skilled as a
classical performer, and in many more ways than ‘just’ performing. Rock
musicians doesn’t ‘just’ make music. They also know about acoustics and the
technology that makes it happen, for them on stage and for the audience in the
hall. And they’re performers—entertainers, sometimes comedians, occasionally
magicians. The show is about a lot more than ‘just’ the music. It’s an
experience.
Last but not least, rock music is ‘real.’ I
know, that sounds like another contradiction, doesn’t it? How can it be real
when the instruments are largely electric? Electric guitars, electric bass,
keyboards. But see, this is just superficial. The ‘electric bit’ only augments
the sound. All the playing is real. There’s no (or very little) sampling, no
automated drumming or chords. And the subject matter is real. More often than
not, rock music is about ‘real stuff.’ Bad days at work, being out of work,
drug use and abuse, falling in and out of love. Rock music touches people
because it’s relevant to them.
This is the magic of rock, all of it put
together. Powerful music with strong melodies; contradictions, and involvement,
and keeping it real. On stage, the whole thing is underscored by light shows
and stage effects that add drama and literally immerse you in that world.
Does Emily get it by the end of the book? You’ll
find out... Happy reading, and rock on!
