My current rockstar romance series, Brothers of Rock, features the band Chasing Cross. The first set of the series is five books, following the five guys in the band. So why not meet the band and read about the first three books in the series?

The first five books in the Brothers of Rock series is as follows:

1 – All Access (Johnnie)
2 – Broken Sound (Davey)
3 – Bitter Farewell (Danny)
4 – Buried Notes (Chris)
5 – Last Song (Rick)

Johnnie – lead singer - He’s the unclaimed leader and hero of the band. He’s also in the first book – All Access – where readers get to know him, the band, and get to see Johnnie’s emotions as he has to make some life changing decisions in both love and life.

Danny – guitar - He’s Johnnie’s younger brother. He’s a little wild, always relying on the protection of his big brother. He’s the main character in book three (Bitter Farewell – coming June 2013) and for the first time in his life, he must face the world on his own.

Davey – guitar - In the second book – Broken Sound – Davey must come to grips with something potential in his past. A woman shows up with a baby and says it’s his. If that’s not heavy enough to deal with, Davey falls in love with a woman that isn’t the baby’s mother.

Chris – bass - Chris will appear in the fourth book and will have to face something similar to Davey. His life and his decisions are called into question and this normally quiet, partying rockstar has to find a way to grow up and man up fast.

Rick – drummer - In the fifth book, you get to meet perhaps the most complicated man in the band. He’s hiding so much emotion and hanging onto so many demons (especially those hiding at the bottom of a bottle), Rick finds himself struggling between trying to deal with his past, capture his present, and not lose his future. To top that off, he makes a life changing decision… life changing for himself and for the band.

Thanks for having me! I hope everyone gets out there and enjoys the Brothers of Rock series!
