Melanie Tushmore is a British writer who loves live bands and loud music. She can’t hear as well as she used to and now champions ear plugs.

Before music, Melanie was a comic book nerd who rarely went out. Then at age fifteen she stumbled into the world of rock music, where the men had long hair and wore their guitars slung down low. More than fifteen years later, Melanie still loves that world even now and wanted to share her stories from it.
