Welcome!  I'm Chad Peery.  Please check out samples of my new books, Stealing Margo and Smoking Jimi.  Both are suspense novels written in the new Rock Fiction genre.  The stories are about musicians who are drawn back into the music world by mistakes of the past. Obsessive desire, in its myriad forms, along with an endless buffet of temptations and dangers spices the adventure.  But, ultimately, each book is about rock music and personal relationships. They were a blast to write, and even more fun to read.  Enjoy!

 

Yes, I drew upon my experience playing with  Steppenwolf and Bob Welch in writing these books.  See more by clicking on the tabs above.

Posing as the author I would hope to become, I sport a pipe given me by my adoring grandfather, and contemplate the meaning of a Brownie Instamatic. Look closely-- you can see it in the eyes, they are not those of a child.  As for the rest, it's pure kid.

I had the privilege of living in West Virginia when I was inspired to write the first draft of Stealing Margo.  My roots in the area go back to the 1700's when my ancestors arrived at Burke's Garden, near Tazwell in western Virginia.  That area is rich with Peerys, and is culturally the twin of its northern neighbor, West Virginia.  I'm also related to the Hatfields, and I'm happy to report that the little misunderstanding with the McCoys has been resolved for some time now.

 

In Stealing Margo I portray the West Virginia mountains as idyllic, magical, and surreal.  If you've never been there, I suggest you go see for yourself, especially when the leaves are changing. I guarantee you won't be disappointed.  Almost Heaven indeed! cp
