Greg Kihn continues to pioneer the
Rock and Roll thriller genre with his fifth novel, Rubber Soul, featuring The
Beatles themselves. Part murder mystery, part coming-of-age story, and a
100% action-packed ride through Beatlemania, Greg Kihn got the idea for Rubber
Soul based on his interviews with Paul
McCartney, Ringo
Starr, Patti
Harrison, Yoko
Ono and original Beatles drummer Pete
Best. With historical details that are 100% accurate, Rubber Soul is a must
for every Beatles aficionado. Premier Digital
Publishing will release Rubber Soul in both trade paperback and digital
formats on September 3, 2013.
Rubber Soul’s protagonist is Bobby
Dingle, AKA
Dust Bin Bob, who Greg states, was developed when, “I asked where the
Beatles got their records, and their answers inspired the central character,
Dust Bin Bob, and this novel.”
Dust Bin Bob runs a stall for his
father’s second hand shop at Penny
Lane Flea Market. He has an extensive collection of American R&B singles
that he gets from Merchant Marines returning from America to Albert Dock in
Liverpool. The action starts when he befriends four young lads from Liverpool by
the names of John, Paul, George, and Ringo and becomes their lifelong friend,
sharing the vinyl that will start a revolution. From then on, it’s a rocket ride
from The Beatles earliest days in Liverpool to six shows a night in Hamburg to
the Cavern
Club to The Ed Sullivan Show and full-fledged Beatlemania. Along the way,
Dust Bin Bob thwarts a plot by Ferdinand
Marcos loyalists in 1966 to assassinate The Beatles in Manila, Philippines,
after they snub the Marcos family, blowing off a reception at the palace and
narrowly avoiding an international incident. It could have happened. Download an

NBC called Greg Kihn “Rock’s True
Renaissance Man.” His career stretches from the dawn of punk and Indie
Rock to the discos of the 80’s to the glory days of MTV. As a pioneering
recording artist with the legendary Beserkley Records of the 1970’s and 1980’s
with chart-topping songs and MTV videos for "Jeopardy" and "The Breakup Song
(They Don't Write 'Em Like That)," Greg Kihn helped write the book on
revolutionary west coast Rock and Roll. In the 90’s, Greg Kihn turned his
attention to writing fiction and FM Radio. He published four novels, a handful
of short stories in various anthologies, and edited a compilation of original
fiction by famous musicians. His first novel in 1997, Horror Show, was nominated
for the prestigious Bram Stoker Award for Best First Novel. Breaking into FM
Radio in 1996, Greg is recognized as the longest reigning #1 Classic Rock Radio
morning man in the San Francisco Bay Area, broadcasting on KFOX FM 102.1 San
Francisco and 98.5 San Jose, until September 2012 when he was inducted into the
Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame. The Greg
Kihn Band, (represented by Paradise Artists - http://www.paradiseartists.com) with
his son Ry
Kihn on lead guitar, will be performing in major markets throughout the USA
in 2013. http://www.gregkihn.com
