soon Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 A fashion model meets Johnny from the upcoming rock sensations The Westies Almost Famous meets Reality Bites and Spinal Tap, in this compelling and often injected with humor, fast-paced novel from Susan Holmes McKagan, Huffington Post front page writer/international supermodel and wife of Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver founding member and bassist Duff McKagan. In the early nineties, Scarlett, a painter and high fashion model, finds herself working in some of the world’s most infamous fashion capitals. As her adventure continues, she meets Johnny of The Westies, an up-and-coming band on the cusp of superstardom. What ensues is an unhinged ride of a novel following Scarlett as she navigates her life through fame, addiction, infidelity, and all the ups and downs of dating a legendary musician from one of the biggest rock bands in history. Susan met Duff after he was sober in the mid nineties, so if its at all autobiographical it aint about she and Duff. Or its her imagining that she met Duff when he was killing himself with vodka and then injecting the story with humour?? Also, this has got to be YA, right? Or I guess pulp like this is one size fits all now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tourettes2400 Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Wow, what a skilled and original writer I am sure this is going to be an amazing book. Punk as Fuck! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tori72 Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 So Susan writes fiction with never-ending hints to the bands and shortcomings of her husband? Hm. I just love how their books live on Guns n Roses indications. Not. I get it though. Probably all those celebrity writers hint to their most successful thing they ever did. Still, it’s getting old. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsOfSpiders Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I quite like the sound of the music by Duff, although it’s only a small clip so it could go down hill from there. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ludurigan Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 "ridin home" is the name of a song from Loaded's EPISODE 1999: LIVE album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Episode_1999:_Live izzy helped Duff write it (https://wikipediaproxy.com/wiki/Beautiful_Disease) and it rocks i am guessing it is the same song (probably a re-worked version) that is played by the "westies" on this release 8 minutes ago, soon said: Thats true. I think it was a couple weeks of prescription abuse and then he got sorted? weeks? i would say if it were "weeks" he wouldn't even bother mentioning it must have been long months? maybe a couple of years? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Is this, Susan writing novels, the equivalent of ''the wife'' taking up origami or Spanish evening classes? ''Something for the old girl to do in her spare time''. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 If you watched "Married to Rock", Susan was probably the most mature out of the bunch but she witnessed enough insanity going on for the past 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

''Something for the old girl to do in her spare time''. She's still working as a model and columnist and designing swimwear too, so that's not really doing her justice, I think. She has been keeping herself busy throughout her marriage to Duff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 Well, it came today and ilI feel like it was worth $35. Pretty sure I will never read the book though 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaya Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 I think she is pretty , smart and a pretty smart woman. I think the title should not have gone with a play on her husband's bands, but it was done purposely and he is her husband. Next step for them should be is to get her books made into a movie for Lifetime or Hallmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
