Chick Band is an erotic novel. It s a fun, frivolous romp behind the scenes of Boston, Massachusetts, with highly sexually charged characters that are struggling to emerge from the garage into a full-fledged, on-stage rock band. Their ascent smacks of the yearning of hopeful, would-be stars with all of their jealousy and black-handedness clashing and coupling with talent and naivete. From a short-story erotica writer, comes a novel, not to be scrutinized for lack of literary ingenious or its missing intellectual debate, but to be enjoyed for the light reading of explicit seduction and the laughable intrigues of misunderstandings and bed-hopping.
