I’m excited to welcome acclaimed musician Jessamyn Violet to the podcast to talk about her novel, ‘Secret Rules to Being a Rockstar’, a gritty, glittery, queer YA debut about a teenage musician who jumps at a chance to play in her favorite rock band on their upcoming world tour, only to realize her heroes have their own agenda and might be leading her down a dark path.
If you’re into the 1990s Los Angeles music scene, in all its glory and decay, you’re gonna love this novel and episode.
Speaking of the 1990s LA music scene, in the last segment of the episode, ‘LA Weekly’ Culture & Entertainment Editor, Lina Lecaro, joins me to talk about that very thing as well as some of the women who were rockin’ the town and the world at that time.
