ABOUT THE BOOK
The Secret Lives of Rockstars: Book One
Saving the world, one tour stop at a time.
Eighteen-year-old Bitsy Butler has never quite fit in, not with the dragons who raised her, the druid who took her in, or even with the non-human members of the cirque noir punk band she thinks of as family. Her chance to prove she can make it on her own comes with her band's first big solo tour. It’s all going according to plan when an angel walks into a bar and demands help with his demon problem.
If she doesn't step up, a magical war will break out, threatening Arizona and all those who call it home. With the help of a human, a sexy dragon, and the members of her band, Bitsy must stop an angry mob of chaos demons before the band leaves for their next tour stop.
It’s nice to be needed, but Bitsy has no idea how to defeat the demons and she just might get herself killed trying. But then, at least one problem would be solved...
Fitting in doesn’t matter if you’re dead.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Suzanne Lazear spins tales of the fantastic. She’s
the author of the New Adult Elfpunk The Secret
Here's a little teaser excerpt:
“I’m Jake, Jake Messenger. I’d like to speak with you alone, if you please.”
My blood ran cold and everything around us ceased to exist. “Why?”
But I knew. There was only one reason why one of the Grigori would seek me out. Somehow celestials just knew when someone could work gates properly, especially the angels who walked the Earth. Anyone could make gates, but it took a linewalker to work them without it being suicide. Linewalker wasn’t a race, but an inherent ability. One I had.
Also, if the celestials – the angels, demons, and the like – needed help from outsiders, things were very bad. The kind which ended in running, screaming, and death.
I so didn’t need this right now.

This summer my husband and I tromped through England and Ireland for several weeks. It was a total planes, trains, automobiles - boats, ferries, busses, bikes - kind of trip. Plus we logged in a ton of kilometers walking.
Along the way we saw many sites already fixed in our minds through the books we've read, movies we've watched, and music we've enjoyed. For some locations, seeing them with our own eyes changed our perspectives, deepened our knowledge and respect of UK history, and others just
completely rocked our worlds.
Like just about every single bit of Ireland.
England was great, don't get me wrong. London and Big Ben, the Tower Bridge, Liverpool and our afternoon Beatles tour, the phone booths, double-decker busses, the tea, the accent...but Ireland went far beyond our expectations.
Green, it'll be, we thought. And it was. Rainy. That too.
But we didn't expect to be completely charmed. Bespelled. To fall in love with a place so completely. From the more relaxed pace with small town shops opening at 9:45am. Why not 10am? Who knows, but it forced us to slow down and enjoy our breakfasts and morning coffees.
Then there were the evenings spent in pubs alive with laughter, music, and great food. There were ancient ruins around every bend in the road and stories begging to be told.
I won't lie, it was fantastic to get home to our dogs, our own bed, our lives, but travel really is soul food and for a writer, it's doubly so.
If you're a scribe - get out of your comfort zone - travel the world outside your door and far, far beyond. Your stories and your readers will benefit from your wanderlust.

Today I'm helping to celebrate the launch of RIGHT KIND OF MISTAKE: BOOK TWO. This hot hockey novella series is one you have to read! In the emotional second instalment we find our romantic leads in a bit of a fix. Sexy as hell Cam Erickson is
impossible to resist, but Haylie's doubts keep her from jumping in
with her whole heart.
Check out the official blurb:
Unlucky in love, Haylie Keene can’t
believe she’s dating another hockey player--especially her ex boyfriend’s
former teammate. Sexy as hell Cam Erickson is impossible to resist,
but Haylie's doubts keep her from jumping in with her whole heart.
And when her ex makes a play to win her back, she’s completely torn.
Cam doesn't know the meaning of giving less
than a hundred percent, whether it's to win a hockey game or Haylie’s heart. So
when it looks like she might choose her cheating ex over him, he’s unwilling to
sit the bench while she makes up her mind.
When Haylie realizes
she might lose Cam, she knows she must fight to keep him. But can she thaw the
ice around his heart before the last buzzer sounds on their relationship?
