~AUTHOR'S NOTE ON SMOKING JIMI~

 
 
Most good novels contain intriguing plots with interesting twists and turns, but the great stories do more-- they sneak us backstage and introduce us to the ultimate rock stars-- the power trio of our hopes, fears, and desires.  If imaginative books intrigue you, then I invite you into the world of Smoking Jimi.  Note: by special arrangement with the publisher (and to thumb our nose at big-box price gougers) Smoking Jimi is discounted to $9.95 for the holidays!

BACK COVER:

 
It was 1999, the year we were supposed to party, but for Guitarist Brad Wilson, it brings the ultimate dare.  His ex-manager shows up with a bizarre offer-- reunite the band and play at a South American ranch for one million apiece. Once there, Brad finds their host to be a sadistic trickster whose dark perversions could cost his band their lives. Smoking Jimi is the ultimate road story-- a euphoric journey that becomes a headlong dash for survival.
REVIEWS:
 
"Peery has produced a hilarious, improbable stew of oddball personalities enmeshed in music, madness and mystery, and love that rocks the world."
Dan Barnett, Chico Enterprise Record.
"I don't give out many five-star ratings, but this one was really a gem. First of all, the author played bass with Steppenwolf, a band I have loved since I was 9 years old (and still listen to). This gave an incredible authenticity to the main character, a "has been" musician in 1999 who had been "almost famous" in the early seventies. There was a "jam scene" in this book that took me back YEARS and invoked the incredible and almost indescribable feeling of playing in a band and discovering the magic that comes with creative spontaneity. Aside from all that, the writing here was first-rate...very professional. The plot was clever and unpredictable, always keeping my interest. Looking forward to reading Chad Peery's other "Rock Fiction" book "Stealing Margo" soon."
John. S. Hagewood, Hybernation
 
 
 
 
READER COMMENTS:
 
John, Nashville--
I GREATLY enjoyed Smoking Jimi which I picked up on Smashwords recently and just finished reading on my Kindle.  I just purchased Stealing Margo and am looking forward to reading it this weekend.
 
That "Jam Scene" in SJ was absolutely fabulous.  Only a musician (and excellent  writer) could write something like that.  Just bloody brilliant.  Bravo!

I hope you plan on writing even more books like this in the future!

I added both of your books to the database on living social so others can learn of them, and I posted a five-star review of SJ which you can read at: http://apps.facebook.com/facebookshelf/books/2566862-chad-peery-smoking-jimi?ref=share-entity-2566862
Marie, Seattle--
This book took me by surprise.  The writer must have an incredible imagination.  The surprises never stop, and that's all I'm going to say.
Dre, Palmdale--
My mind is still buzzing from reading this story.  I don't think anyone has written anything quite like this, especially the music scenes!  And what happens in South America really brought back some memories, both good and not so good.  It's one of those books I wish was a thousand pages long.
 
Lori, Durham CA--
I wanted to write you to let you know that I couldn't put the book down!  It was a thrilling trip and I love when a book can take me to a different place! You have a gift of writing, paying close attention to detail with excitement to keep the readers hands turning pages as quickly as they can!  So, thank you, I really look forward to Stealing Margo.
