About the Book

Turning forty, for Lannie Marvin, is rough. It's the day she discovers her husband is leaving her for a younger "soulmate." At work, a crazed mouse being treated with an experimental drug brutally bites her. Then, Lannie goes a little crazy, too.Seems she's recently developed a serious crush on the drummer of her son's favorite heavy metal band. Waking up to her husband's empty closet, her finger still throbbing from the mouse bite, Lannie snaps. Under the ruse of a shopping trip, Lannie kidnaps her sister-in-law/best friend, and heads toward Bethel, New York - the site of the original Woodstock concert.Just so happens Dreamwish is playing a concert there, and Lannie managed to procure the pair of tickets her son won but couldn't use.Tristan Allard, the band's drummer, holds this benefit every year in memory of his wife, whom he lost to breast cancer. The musician is beginning to doubt his ability to write the band's music without his wife's inspiration - she was also his muse. Plus, he's damn lonely. So when a sexually charged, extremely attractive, slightly older woman literally plows into him at the backstage reception, Tristan is ready to learn more about her - and her long-buried interest in musical composition. The two head off for a wild ride of a weekend, but reality boomerangs around way too soon. Tristan is headed to the UK to audition his next album's scores. And an elevated libido isn't the only side-effect of that experimental drug. Lannie soon discovers the treated mice have gone deaf.
About the Author: Claire Gem was born in Brooklyn, New York, an only daughter wedged between three brothers. After her family relocated upstate, she attended Catholic elementary school before being brutally cast into public Junior High. She married young and settled in Middletown, New York. She has also lived in Florida, Texas, North Carolina, and Massachusetts. She's had a jumbled assortment of jobs, ranging from a (very bad) waitress in Friendly's restaurant, to a (slightly better) hairdresser, before further exploring her creative side as a (pretty good) bridal gown designer. "I thoroughly enjoyed my training at the International Academy for Design, and loved working with the brides. But the stress associated with such a huge responsibility-one big day in a girl's life-was overwhelming." That's when Claire turned to her keyboard to express her creativity. After a decade and at least 1000 rejection letters, Claire's debut novel, Phantom Traces, was published by Soul Mate Publishing in 2015. Since then she has published three other novels in the romance genres of contemporary, paranormal, and romantic suspense. Her second paranormal/romantic suspense, Hearts Unloched, was named a winner in the 2016 New York Book Festival. The many facets of Claire's life continue to provide her with endless ideas for her next book. And since she lives the Happy Ever After, she writes it true and from the heart.
