~AUTHOR'S NOTE ON SMOKING JIMI~
Most good novels contain intriguing plots with interesting twists and turns, but the great stories do more-- they sneak us backstage and introduce us to the ultimate rock stars-- the power trio of our hopes, fears, and desires. If imaginative books intrigue you, then I invite you into the world of Smoking Jimi. Note: by special arrangement with the publisher (and to thumb our noses at big-box price gougers) Smoking Jimi is discounted to $9.95! |

REVIEWS
"I don't give out many five-star ratings, but this one was really a gem. First of all, the author played bass with Steppenwolf, a band I have loved since I was 9 years old (and still listen to). This gave an incredible authenticity to the main character, a "has been" musician in 1999 who had been "almost famous" in the early seventies. There was a "jam scene" in this book that took me back YEARS and invoked the incredible and almost indescribable feeling of playing in a band and discovering the magic that comes with creative spontaneity. Aside from all that, the writing here was first-rate...very professional. The plot was clever and unpredictable, always keeping my interest. Looking forward to reading Chad Peery's other "Rock Fiction" book "Stealing Margo" soon."
John. S. Hagewood, Hybernation
"Peery has produced a hilarious, improbable stew of oddball personalities enmeshed in music, madness and mystery, and love that rocks the world."
Dan Barnett, Chico Enterprise Record.

It's 1999, and there it is on the table: fifty thousand dollars in cash. And there sits your crooked ex-manager, looking at you with the expression of a cannibal, telling you there's a million more for each of you. All you have to do is put your 70's band back together, play one easy concert in South America, and bingo, instant millionaires. What would you do? And who is this South American dude, what's he really after? Is he just a crazy, rich fan, or something more insidious? The Smoking Jimi van is loaded up-- it's time to grab your copy and hit the road!
