Ann Brandt

ANN C. BRANDT is my alter-ego. I'm a former broadcast journalist now working on a daytime talk show in the Pacific Northwest and working on two other novels surrounding 80's metal groupies in NYC and LA. I'm also formulating a steamy romance series that centers around hockey. (If you don't think hockey is hot, I dare you to watch these guys on the ice. I mean, REALLY watch the way they move! Then, try to envision them out of those bulky uniforms.)

Steel Goddesses is a labor of love twenty years in the making. Characters are loosely based on people I knew or met while working in the recording industry in NYC in the 80's. The Steel Goddesses novels are my homage to the heyday of 80's metal and the women who took groupie-dom to new and dizzying heights. If you weren't lucky enough to live during that time, just watch Metal Mania on VH1 Classic and check out the women in those videos. I'm not saying those girls were groupies, mind you, but the plumage certainly is similar.

I love my life in the NW with my former hockey player husband, our teenage son (who does NOT like hockey), our crazysmart dog and wacky kitten. But I really love taking you on a stroll down memory lane, to the days of big hair, big makeup, spandex, leather and power chords. I hope you love it, too.
