Three months after the dramatic climax of Band in the Wind, the “Journal of Johnny Cipp,” has found its way to Maria Romano and Riet Carver. After reading Johnny’s tragic tale, they can understand all that happened in 1967. Now they have all the answers—or do they? Sound of Redemption continues this tale of love and loyalty, memories and mayhem, and racism, revenge, and rock and roll.

Praise for Sound of Redemption
“Sound of Redemption hits all the right notes, ringing true to the feel of Band in the Wind. As in the first book, Rostron’s quirky sense of humor, reflected in the playful dialogue between characters, lightened the mood of this otherwise serious and heart-wrenching story. His writing remains addictive, with great emotional engagement for the reader. Sound of Redemption is a tense, moving, character-driven story exploring one man's mission to atone for the wrongs of his past." Online Book Club Review - 4 out of 4 stars

Praise for Band in the Wind . . .

"This book is an almost perfect blend of music, nostalgia, a coming-of-age story...and tragedy! It really does have a bit of everything. Highly entertaining."

- Online Book Review (4/4 stars)

“Rostron manages to capture the mood of this tumultuous time—a feat that takes skill, a great memory, and the ability to put emotion into words.”

- Writers Digest Self Published Book Awards

This tale told by Rostron succeeds...massively. It is a story told with dollops of nitty and gritty but also some blasts and burns that will thrill you as powerfully as...well...as a power chord. A giant power chord, amped up with emotions, friendship, cruelty, hate, revenge, and love

- James J. Spina (contributor to Rolling Stone, Hit Parader, Creem, and Mojo)

“A must-read for book-lovers hoping to experience the lost, yet somehow lingering, days of 1960s American culture.”
- Michael L. Burduck, - Professor of English - Tennessee Tech University

Review

Praise for the Band in the Wind Series

"Real love for the music and the muses that make the music what it is: Rock music and the role it plays in the lives of a cast of oh-so-real characters and a story teller that has me gasping for an encore. This is a novel that soundtracks the life and lives of what it means to be in a band for life...and...death.” - J. J. Spina - Music critic/editor for W & WWD; contributor to Rolling Stone Magazine.

~*~

Readers won’t have to be from Queens, NY or have played in rock bands to appreciate this magnificent novel. Rostron’s beautifully-crafted sentences, as well as his mastery of plot, characterization, and structure, help make this book a must read for book-lovers hoping to experience the lost, yet somehow lingering, days of 1960s American culture. - Michael L. Burduck, Professor of English, Tennessee Tech University

"Rostron brilliantly evokes the time (The 60s), the place (Cambria Heights, Queens, NY) and most importantly the music. Most novels about Rock'n'Roll are filled with clich�s that just ring hollow, but this book just gets it right.” – DSpin – formerly of MTV
