No stranger to the book world, Bogino is the director at a small but busy library in New York, a frequent contributor to Library Journal, an expert on Zombie lit and has published short horror, fantasy, romance, memoir and gay fiction. Rock Angel is her debut novel that will appeal to the emerging New Adult market as well as contemporary fiction readers. Music fans, those who grew up in the ‘90s and readers looking for a raw and engaging love story will find something in Rock Angel.
Shan is young, beautiful, talented and addicted to heroin in Rock Angel which follows her meteoric rise to guitar goddess stardom in the ‘90s. She is discovered in New York by a handsome, arrogant musical genius named Quinn and sparks fly between them when he hires her as lead guitarist of his band.
Although Quinn is accustomed to bedding a different groupie every night, he can’t ignore his deepening feelings for his new bandmate. From gritty Greenwich Village clubs to L.A.’s Troubadour; gigging and touring the country to the cover of Rolling Stone, Rock Angel is infused with the passionate music and intense sexual chemistry of Shan and Quinn. Shan must work out her personal demons and learn to trust Quinn enough to love him, but still remain true to the music that has always been her salvation.
