"Everything Everywhere All at Once" meets "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"
(...in a 1990s record company!)
Aliens have hatched a rockstar. Brain extractions, falling body parts, and blood-vessel explosions are the norm. Alex's dream job has turned into a nightmare.
What should she do?
It's the 1990s. Alex arrives at Acht Records, her improbable blonde hair streaked stress magenta and anger black. Her first duty is to wipe blood off her boss's walls. It goes downhill from there.
Rock Gods & Messy Monsters is a humorous story about life inside a record company. Yet between the lines of satire and nods to science fiction, the book is a thought-provoking female narrative and social commentary on the corporate world.
Join Alex as she weaves through a comedic cast of characters and down crazed corridors of power, where her boss attempts to thwart her at every turn.
The New York music scene of the 90s never seemed so alien, yet so familiar.
Carol Anderson from the US Review of Books captures its essence perfectly: "The novel is so perverse it causes one to laugh out loud at the deranged storyline and detailed descriptions. This is truly satire at its best."

"A fast paced, entertaining comic treat." -- Kirkus Discoveries
A sterling example of modern absurdist observation and writing. - Midwest Book Review
Sets out to prove that work sucks with the aplomb and grit of a gladiator. And oh hell does the novel prove it, in more ways and with more reasons than you would expect. - Independent Book Review

"It's difficult to really pin down Rock Gods. You could take it at face value and chalk it down as pure abstract surrealism. You could also decode comma and quotation mark for deeply written philosophical wisdom. I think it's a little bit of both." - The Lit Refinery
