The Clash of Cultures: Mozart Meets Heavy Metal! A Concert Violinist and a Heavy Metal Rock Star?
Arianna Stefanoff, concert violinist: to her ears, rock music sounds like pots and pans banging together.
Reid Lavelle, rock star extraordinaire: doesn’t know an oboe from a piccolo.
So how did this unlikely pair wind up on a weekend date in New York City?
Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Rachmaninoff, Handel. Arianna Stefanoff is familiar with the works of all these and more. Growing up in a musical family, she has an intimate knowledge of classical composers. On the other hand, her knowledge of the latest rock stars and their current hits borders on zilch.
Being steeped in classical music blended well while the Stefanoffs lived in the culturally-heavy city of Boston. But once her symphony-conductor father accepted the conductor position for the St. Louis Symphony, Arianna is suddenly catapulted out of her comfort zone.
Her new set of friends have scant appreciation for her flavor of music. She doesn’t think much of theirs either. Then her friend, Kara, persuades her to enter a contest, a contest in which the winner is treated to a weekend date in New York City with rock star, Reid Lavelle.
Explosions ensue when, against all the odds, Arianna wins. The girls at her school are not only jealous but furious knowing she’s not even a fan of Reid’s. Reid’s ego is mangled when he learns his date knows nothing about his music. All signs point to disaster.
Is Arianna destined to be ostracized forever just because of a dumb contest? And could it possibly be that her own narrow-mindedness regarding Reid is aiding in her misery?
-- Whisk Back to a Simpler Time
This young adult romance whisks readers back to a simpler time, before Internet and cell phones. A sweet story that will hold the reader captive to the very last page!
-- Norma Jean Lutz Classic Collection
The Norma Jean Lutz Classic Collection includes re-released titles of previously-published teen romance novels. I hear from parents and teens alike who are searching for novels that are fresh and clean and yet full of compelling adventure!
This is why I made the decision to bring back the teen romance novels that I authored in the 80s and 90s. Reading audiences deserve a choice and I want to give them that choice.
These story plots are timeless; such stories never grow out of style in spite of the fact they were penned several decades ago. Rockin’ Into Romance is the third title in the Classic Collection.
