About this title

From the Author:

Meet Glenda Mooney.
When people talk about the early days of rock 'n roll music, the same names always come up: Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Elvis. If I asked you to add more names to this list, I'd be willing to bet that all the performers you'd mention would be male. But contrary to popular belief, there were many women who played an important role in the dawn of rock 'n roll, as I discovered when I began researching my novel, "Phases of the Moon."

Glenda Mooney, the fictional heroine of "Phases," grows up in a coal camp in rural Southeastern Kentucky with dreams of becoming a musician. Over the course of the novel, Glenda finds and loses both love and fame, and most importantly, finds herself.

A joyous, lesbian-themed novel, "Phases" could appeal to anyone with an interest in Appalachian literature or the history of rock 'n roll music. "Phases" has also received much positive attention as a young-adult novel, since the majority of the story takes place during Glenda's teen years.

The character of Glenda Mooney has won over critics in both the gay and straight press. And I must admit that Glenda is my favorite fictional creation. I hope that you enjoy meeting her.
