About the author
Morgan Locklear
14 books99 followersMorgan Locklear is a novelist and musician living on the Oregon coast with his wife, author Jennifer Locklear. The two write books, together and separately, including multiple charity anthologies and guest appearances in short story collections.
Morgan has performed in, or directed over thirty community theatre shows, and has recorded a half dozen albums with the bands, Cool Beans, Miracle Max, and Absolute Value. You can search his name on Spotify and find all sorts of wild stuff.
He writes romance adventures with a focus on humor, and few ghosts thrown in from time to time. He has a thing for ghosts, trains, and New York City, culminating in his debut solo novel, Connection.
Morgan is a legally blind triplet, which means that growing up, he could see just well enough to get himself into trouble, but had plenty of sisters to bail him out. (Not literally, of course.)
Morgan loves Seinfeld, R.E.M., Mel Brooks, and big historical novels.

This book is a must have for not only music enthusiasts but also every trivia buff. You will definitely find out something new about your favorite group. People who say I’m not really a reader; will not be able to put this book down. Start me up is the perfect gift for that someone who is hard to buy for or who has everything. Start me up is a great read that you will read again and again. I believe no book shelf or coffee table is complete without this book. Morgan Locklear books are refreshing, quirky, and he is a mad genius with out of the box ideas. I am honored and grateful to call him my friend.
