It's 1988 and Regi Sebastian is fighting to stay sober in order to save her marriage and keep her rock band on top of the charts. It's a life of sex, drugs and rock and roll, but will it finally be the end of the music world's favorite female drummer?

"Head Case is the first installment of the chronicles of Regi Sebastian, drummer of the rock group "Pages." Written in a simple, easy to read narration that almost gives the effect of not reading a book at all, but instead getting the juicy low-down from a best friend over dinner and drinks. Head Case has a bit of anything you could possibly ask for from a rock and roll story, everything from both the glamour and grit of the rock and roll world, to sex, drugs, and even murder. It's a true page-turner that nags at you when you put it down because you want to know what's going to happen next. Quite a fun read for anyone who likes an action filled storyline, but for those of us who had our own dealings with rock and roll bands this is a must read... this book isn't as clich" as one might think, it's frankly, quite relatable." ~ Melanie Falina, Unrated Magazine

"...an almost magical style that allows the characters to grow before a reader's eyes in a sly yet efficient way." ~ R. Scott Bolton, RoughEdge.com

"Stone's storytelling ability is flowing and captivating in an easy to read narration that's filled with...what else, but the heavy metal trinity - sex, drugs, and rock & roll! Whiplash offers a rock and roll fringed drama with a jaw-dropper at the end." ~ Melanie Falina, Unrated Magazine

"...a fast pace that never falters and a clearness and crispness that makes the book a pleasant, easy read. Again, the characters are so fully drawn and realized that it's never a problem remembering who is who - despite the book's necessarily large cast of characters." "...the various bands and/or rock stars that Stone name-drops are well-placed reminders of the real rock world - and enhance the novel's realness as well." ~ R. Scott Bolton, RoughEdge.com

Haven is the third, and final, installment in the Head Case rock novel series. Through love, loss and friendship, members of the band Pages have experienced it all. And they’ve experienced it all together. Love them or hate them, Regi, Mickey, Jesse and Murphy face their toughest challenges yet in this finale - a paternity shocker, a long lost parent, the protection of an abused child, and a reunion in shambles before it even begins. Come along on their final adventure and enjoy the ride! Like Facebook and other social media sites today that allow us to reconnect with people from our past, in Haven, Kathleen Stone bridges the gap and brings Regi, Mickey and Jesse right back to us once again. The whole wild saga that began years ago in a quintessential whirlwind of sex, drugs, and rock and roll has now evolved with children and real-life situations that all Stone’s readers can relate to, but they’re all just fibers in the great membrane which holds them all together — the band. Kathleen Stone’s tone and flow is a relaxed personal one — reading her words is like sitting across the table from a good friend at a cafe as she fills you in on everything that’s been happening since your last meeting. Whether you’re a musician, a music enthusiast, or simply a fan of literature, the characters in Stone’s rock and roll chronicles become friends, and being able to catch up with them once again is an experience that runs the gamut of emotion, but overall, provides an abundance of comfort that only other really good things in life can.

“Nice to meet you…?”

“Jude.”

“Like Judith?”

“No.”

“Like Judas?” he teased.

“Like hey,” I finally said.

In 1985 eighteen-year-old Jude Hastings loses her deaf twin sister to a brain aneurysm. A year later her longtime boyfriend dumps her for taking too long to grieve. Jude’s relationship with her parents is more volatile than ever because she’s the child who lived. The next four years see Jude on a path of destruction, leaving a trail of alcohol-induced nights and a laundry list of nameless men in her wake. Love simply doesn’t exist in her world. Until she meets Shea Sullivan, an unreachable four-year-old deaf boy who steals her heart when she is hired to be his full-time nanny, based solely on her sign language skills. Things on the surface are not as they seem, as Jude quickly learns that Shea is a very troubled little boy with a history of violent behavior, uncontrollable outbursts and a cold, overbearing and curmudgeonly father. There’s no denying the connection Jude shares with Shea, but is it enough to keep her working in his unbearable father’s home? “Hey Jude” is the story of a young woman and a child who desperately need each other, with outside circumstances fighting against them at every turn. It’s a story that will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you question everything you know about connections of the spirit.
