It Really IS Rocket Science, A Rock'N'Roll Fantasy

By Brad Branham

Rocker-in-self-exile Blar Umlaut spots an enchanting goth princess in a snowstorm. The chain of events that follow lead to a revival of his career, a new band, romance, adventure, and dark hilarity with the trio of women he befriends. "The Lost Girls" need a bootstrap to break into the music business. Blar isn't certain whether he's helping because he's smitten or because it would be a crime to let their outstanding talent go unnoticed. Being merely human, it's a lot of both. It Really IS Rocket Science ... after all.

A small rock band called “The Lost Girls” and a rocker-in-exile join forces to form a new band called “It Really IS Rocket Science”. Join Blar, Tsika, Glycerin, Kpau, and a gang of other misfits as they try to make it to the top and figure each other out along the way. Adventure, comedy, drama, romance – kind of the way life really happens. Set in Portland, Oregon with travels to destinations all over the planet.

Set in Portland, Oregon initially and eventually leading to all parts of the globe; grounded in the modern music business; the story is about misfits making a musical life together and reflects that life is funny, tragic, wonderful, scary ... sometimes all in the same moment.

This is the first volume of a series following the life, adventures, romances, and antics of the eccentric and quirky members of a rock band.
