The Beatles and The Who. Lauden reminds you of the songs and lets the tempo take you for a ride. Dwight Twilley, Mathew Sweet, and Raspberries. Each story moves forward like a song. Spanning Austin, Memphis, Hollywood, and back, these books take the reader on a feverishly fun ride through rock & roll history." - Marietta Miles, "May" and "Route 12""Exactly what a rock and roll crime novel should be: No keyboards, no electronic drums, just straight ahead hard-driving story with page turning hooks and a pace that's dangerous enough to dance to."- Tom Pitts, "American Static" "Loved it. Very descriptive, engaging characters, flowed ever so nicely. Plus, as a bonus, it includes references to The Toms, Shoes and Rubber City Rebels. Another slam dunk for S.W. Lauden!"- John M. Borack, "Shake Some Action 2.0: A Guide to the 200 Greatest Power Pop Albums1970-2017""S.W. Lauden has pulled off something remarkable: creating the First Dysfunctional Family of Pop Music. Meet the Sharps, two music-mad brothers, a punk-rock kid sister, and an out-of-the-closet dad who together run a vintage record store, play the nation's dive bars in a touring band, and rip off music memorabilia collectors (hint: they're all millionaire scumbags who deserve to be hit). It's a rock n' roll romp from the opening chord. Only question is, when's the Sharps' next heist-er, gig?"- Rex Weiner, "The (Original) Adventures of Ford Fairlane: The Long Lost Rock n' Roll Detective Stories""A crime-laden romp filled with family and fun. I couldn't put it down-not until the music was over." Beau Johnson, "All Of Them To Burn"Praise for "That'll Be The Day: A Power Pop Heist""Pistol popping power pop pulp fiction. I loved it!" - Paul D. Brazill, "Last Year's Man" "Rock and roll, rare guitars, vintage vinyl and criminal mayhem-what more could a crime fiction and music lover ask for? I thoroughly enjoyed S.W. Lauden's That'll Be The Day and can't wait to see what's on the flip-side!" - Lisa Brackmann, "Rock Paper Tiger" and "Black Swan Rising""The tempo is fast and the words hit you like power chords. This heist is a sonic blast with a backbeat." - Eric Beetner, "All The Way Down" "The disparate worlds of sunny power pop music and desperate criminals converge in this gritty short like fire and gasoline...Put your favorite power pop album on play, and brace yourself for a thrill-packed series of unexpected twists and turns!" - Jeff Rougvie, author of the "Gunning For Hits" comic series, and "Big Enough To Matter, Small Enough To Care: The Rykodisc Story""Lauden has the rare gift of staying out of the way and letting the story tell itself, drawing you in as he goes...I read it in one sitting and was ready for more. That's no mean feat." - Dana King, Nick Forte & Penns River Series"Imagine if Bob and Tommy Stinson went on a crime spree. That'll Be The Day is a smart, fun, and focused crime fiction E.P. Both a celebration of music and a cracking heist story, the book manages to take a sly jab at all the ways we can let fandom-or crime-distract from what really matters about music and family..." - Jay Stringer, author of the Marah Chase novels
