When I first saw Jackie Joyride onstage with Run Devil Run that bass just thumped through my body, he had his head thrown back totally into his music and he generated incredible chemistry to the audience. How can you not want to write a book about someone like that?

She stated that looking over photos sparked the creative idea which built the story from there. Just wondering if you were the same or something else...<br />Just curious...<br />BTW... looking forward to reading this book...
