Dana is being watched, stalked by a listener who plans to make her his…by whatever means necessary.Kirkus Reviews"The overarching story captures the zeitgeist of the late 1990s, as the DJs, rock stars, and listeners reveal the glamorous, complicated, and dangerous sides of the music industry in alternating narratives. Wainland’s characters are flawed, funny, and self-aware, brought to life with sharp prose...The historical details also ring true...The best DJs had loyal fans, and even the rude and raunchy ones had hate-listeners…A fast-paced and fun throwback to the heyday of the radio era."Readers Favorite"Rock Radio allows you to immerse yourself in the fast-paced world of radio in the 90s so thoroughly that you may have trouble emerging again! This is the kind of engrossing literature that makes you forget everything but the story. Don’t start it right before bed, or you’ll be staying up late! The characters are memorable, from the rock dj with the wandering eye to the stalker super-fan who pushes things too far. It had me hanging on until the very last page. It is richly descriptive and full of industry terms and little tricks that show you the inside of the radio business in the 90s when rock was king."

Not fifteen minutes later, a knock on the door announced the police looking for the person caught in a hit and run on a traffic cam. When they told her the name of the victim, she almost believed she was responsible. But why did she have no memory of the events?
