Rock ‘n Roll Heaven
by Shawn Inmon
Genre: Fantasy
35,000 words
Jimmy ‘Guitar’ Velvet isn’t even a has-been; he’s a never-was. After a short trip to the bottom of a river, Jimmy undertakes the adventure of a lifetime. The celestial bureaucracy ships him to Rock ‘n Roll Heaven, where he meets the true icons of rock ‘n roll — and learns that even ‘heaven’ is relative. But, what impact can a small-timer like Jimmy make on the biggest stage in the universe? If you remember the music of Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, Jim Morrison, Roy Orbison and Janis Joplin, you will find much that resonates in Rock ‘n Roll Heaven.
Rock ‘n Roll Heaven is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Amazon UK, and other online retailers.
