Keltie and Christopher will be reading and signing their work from 7 – 9pm at Chicago Comics on Friday, November 12th! We had a great time with Chris when he read at a recent signing and we’re excited to have him back and sharing the stage with the newest author to be published under DeadxStop Publishing.

Caught between backstage and center stage, Keltie Colleen opens a window to her intriguing life of dance and rock ‘n’ roll. In between gigs, Keltie optimistically untangles complicated rockstar romances, while clinging to her own identity. Simultaneously tragic and hopeful, Keltie’s story is an honest, powerful and ultimately uplifting guide to following your dreams and losing your heart.
