PERSONAL NOTE: The only pirate I like is Johnny Depp
as Captain Jack Sparrow which means should I'd appreciate if you'd
keep my books to yourself. Pirating shows a clear lack of respect
for the author—me. I'd rather not meet you on bad terms, so let's
not do that, let's not meet that way. Let's meet at a signing or
conference instead, or let's go have a cup of coffee or a drink.
Thank you for respecting the time and effort put into each book. I
appreciate it very much.

 

 

 

To my sister, my protector, my secret version of
Xena: Warrior Princess: Thanks for always being there, for always
having my back, for kicking bully ass for me when we were younger,
and for never giving up on me.

Whatever hand the future deals you—We got this. I
love you, Shelly.

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to put a little note in here letting
you all know that from this book forward, the series will not be a
standalone. There will be different heroes and heroines for each
book as the series storyline unfolds, tying it all together with a
pretty little bow. Well, maybe it won't always be pretty. I mean,
we are dealing with rockstars, mafia, and whoever else pops up
along the way.

And while this is not an angsty book, there is some
drama but not a whole lot. There are lots of laughs, antics,
shenanigans, and surprises along the way.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed
writing it.

 

Hugs and love to all,

Anne xoxo

IT TURNS OUT dreams really can come true. Who would
have thought a teenage crush would lead to this? Well, I suppose
the crush itself didn't do this but it was the starting point.
Just... wow.

I'm officially Mrs. Jesse Kingston and I
still feel like I'm living in a dream rather than reality.

Let me explain in case you don't know the
story. When I was thirteen I saw this band on one of those
contestant shows where they performed and ended up winning. They
were so, so good and the singer, Jesse Kingston, was seriously hot.
Instant girlie crush. It wasn't long after they won that show that
they signed a contract with some big deal record company in Los
Angeles. I don't know why, but I felt as if I was part of it
all.

Maybe because I was there from the start,
watching and cheering from afar. Though that wasn't really their
start. They started in Chicago, not far from where I grew up.
Anyway, I bought all the Falling Down posters, magazines featuring
them, and anything that had to do with Jesse Kingston. My room was
a fandom. I'm not too proud to admit that and my now-husband thinks
it's cute—though I never did tell him about all of it. He doesn't
need to know everything.

When the first Falling Down video came out,
I, Luciana Russo, Falling Down's number effing one fan, had a party
to celebrate. Truthfully, only a few people like Sera and Jace knew
what it was really for. Sera's my cousin but we grew up as close as
sisters and Jace may as well be my brother, we're that close. We
grew up together and played in a band together in high school. We
ended up drifting away from the band when my mom pushed me into
acting. It started out as a couple commercials and small television
parts, but when I hit seventeen I landed some really great
auditions and got my first big role. I can't say I hated acting
because it really was a great job. But music is my passion.
