Despite thirty years in the business and over twelve million album sales, no-one, not even a rock journalist thought of putting finger to keyboard, to write the story that was screaming out to be told.

In the end, it took the crazy dreams of one man- a thirty seven year old English window cleaner, to bring the W.A.S.P. and Blackie Lawless story to life. A man with absolutely no reporting or journalistic experience, no contacts, and no money! 

Within a year I had interviewed seven ex-members of W.A.S.P. and Blackie Lawless' proto- W.A.S.P. band, Sister. Also two former fan club presidents agreed to talk with me. Together with all of my exhaustive research, my W.A.S.P. book was taking shape...

Above is a little of the story of why I wrote W.A.S.P. Sting in the Tale. My major writing influences are as diverse as Neale Donald Walsch (Coversations with God series)  to Neil Strauss (co- Author with Marilyn Manson and Motley Crue). 

I love heavy metal, especially W.A.S.P., Iron Maiden, AC/DC, and many other old school rock and metal bands.
