About this ebook

Pumping gas in a small Colorado town in the summer of 1964 is hot, grimy work -- especially if you want to be a rock 'n roll star, like Bobby Masters and the members of his struggling band. When fate lets them chase that dream of screaming girls, spotlights and maybe even a guest spot on "American Bandstand," they don't hesitate, even though it means pretending to be "The Romeos" -- an already successful band with a hit record on the radio. After all, who will find them out as they roam from Wyoming cowboy bars and battle-of-the-bands contests to playing a beach party at a tiny Nebraska college? And if they build a scandalous reputation for playing a raunchier song than "Louie Louie," so much the better. Until the guys run headfirst into a curvy sorority girl who just won a darkest-tan contest at Daytona Beach. A liberated woman before her time, Susie turns the boys' 1960s notions of romance inside out. "The Romeo Boys" is a coming-of-age story in that jarring time when rock 'n roll was innocent, but the nation was not.

Peter Roper

A Fellow and Past President of the Professional Speaking As- sociation, Peter is claimed by many to be the UK’s leading expert in ‘Natural Presentation’. He has presented to well over 400,000 people internationally and for a wealth of different organisations. Peter specialises in working with both individuals and organisa- tions to enhance and enrich business development skills. Peter had a very successful corporate career with organisations such as Lombard North Central and Arval PHH. After being awarded Sales Executive of the year for a consecutive 6 years he went on to become the youngest ever Divisional Director of PHH reporting to the European Board. Peter created a strategic Division with a turnover in excess of £38 Million, employing over 200 people and winning numerous national awards. From 1996, Peter went on to establish four new businesses of his own; two of which he says have been fantastic failures - and fortunately two others which have been stunning successes! During his career he has learned the power of essential business development, networking and presentation skills, which apply to any career-path. Based in rural Shropshire, Peter is the “Honorary Chairman” of the family business Positive Ground Ltd.
