Today I received my author’s copies of Janis Joplin: Take Another Little Piece of My Heart, the biography I wrote for Enslow Publishers. Another book out–the first of five or six bearing my name that should appear this year.
Here’s the back copy:
Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Janis Joplin spent much of her adolescence looking for a place where she belonged. In 1967, she found that place onstage, singing with Big Brother and the Holding Company, a band from San Francisco. Joplin became a household name after the Monterey Pop Festival, and her star burned bright until her untimely death in 1970 at the age of 27. Although she had a “tough girl” shell, she continually sought acceptance from those around her.
Despite her early death, her accomplishments and influence are felt throughout the music industry today. She continues to be an inspiration to musicians everywhere.

Yes, it’s always cool when the author’s copies arrive, although the author’s copies I’m really excited to see are the ones of Marseguro…and no sign of those yet!
Ah, that must be so cool!
