I've been blogging about Rock and Roll Love Story for about nine years and it's been available in Paperback and e-book now since 2010.

I get a lot of hits on this blog but I'd be lying if I said that sales weren't a bit disappointing. I don't know why that is. Almost 30,000 people have been to this site and the one that came before it and I am read all over the world. I seem to be very popular in Russia and Ukraine for reasons not known to me but most of my hits are from the United States.

There's only the merest whiff of politics in this two novel set but for some reason, my hero Ronnie James DeRenzo has developed into a kind of populist hero who defies easy button holing. There are cameos here by Bill Clinton and Donald Trump -- written long before the President-elect ever ventured into politics.

Yes, the paperback is expensive and there's nothing I can do about that -- it's a 500 page book and the cost of paper is most of that. It is discounted as much as my publishers and distributors will allow and I don't even make any profit off it myself. It is just available for my readers who wish to own a real book copy of it.

I hope you will take a chance on the e-book. It's affordably priced and you can download the free Kindle reader to your smartphone, tablet or computer.
