Notes

From the back cover:

Happiness is a warm gun. And it’s aimed at the Fab Four. Fifteen year-old Marnie Culpeper really needs someone. After her mom walks out on her ex-Marine dad, she clings to the only thing that gives her peace: her fanatical love for the four mop tops from Liverpool. She could listen to the Beatles eight days a week. So, when Marnie learns the Beatles are coming to her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee in the summer of 1966, she's in heaven. But then John Lennon declares the Beatles are more popular than Jesus, and Memphis - where racial tensions are already simmering - is ready to explode. Both Marnie's Christian values and her devotion to the Fab Four are put to the test when she finds out someone wants to make sure the Beatles' Memphis concert is their last one ever. Can she rescue them the way their music rescued her? Maybe ... with a little help from her friends.

A message from the author on Facebook on 8 December 2018:

Just wanted to make you aware of a change. Going forward, my latest book, The Beatles Must Die, has undergone a name change and cover design alteration. Our new title is 30 Minutes in Memphis: A Beatles Story.

Rather than go into a long discussion of what prompted the changeover, I will tell you that a collaborator in the process was Julia Baird, the sister of John Lennon, who loved the book but feared it might not get the exposure it deserves because some people might be put off by the strong image/words of the original title and cover. And how could I argue with John's sister (who is wonderful by the way). So, after some memorable back and forth, we hit upon 30 Minutes in Memphis, A Beatles Story. She even mentioned sending a copy to her friend Sir Paul. Imagine that!

And so, within a couple of days the paperback version of 30 Minutes in Memphis will be available on Amazon (Kindle is already there) again with artwork by Carol Young.
