Rock 'n' Roll Saves Lives is a novel that takes the reader on a thrilling rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of being the world's biggest band. The story revolves around The Rosemonts, a band that has reached the pinnacle of global fame. But what only a few people realise is that their existence is a house of cards; a confidence trick they're desperate to keep under wraps.
The story begins in Stockholm, Sweden where Anders - a disgruntled university student - is desperate to become a musician. More than anything, he's frustrated that current musical trends don't reflect his tastes. But, in trying to reinvent the past, he sets into motion a chain of events that have consequences far beyond those he could ever have imagined. As they navigate the tumultuous world of the music industry, The Rosemonts discover that staying at the top can be just as challenging as getting there.
This novel is a must-read for anyone interested in Rock 'n' Roll history, and for anyone who views the 1960s and 1970s through the rose-tinted glass of nostalgia.
In a Charles-Dickens-style-serialisation-for-the-Twenty-First-Century approach, the novel will be published in instalments on Wattpad.
Enjoy!!!

The Rosemonts are the biggest band in the world.
Their songs are in constant rotation on radio stations across all continents. Their music is ubiquitous on TV, and people seemingly can't walk down a street anywhere on the globe without being bombarded by their melodies.
But until 6 months ago, nobody had ever heard of them. They were - if the rumours are to be believed - a well-kept secret; a 1960s beat combo people had forgotten about; the most underground of underground acts, until they were propelled to stardom by a series of online music videos.
But is it all too good to be true? Do people only believe in the re-emergence of a group of super-cool septuagenarians because they want to believe in them? There are certainly those who claim that's the case. Indeed, there are people suggesting the band's existence is the greatest confidence trick in music industry.
