Ms. Kessler has researched Lennon and the Beatles for over 20 years and made 7 trips to Liverpool to interview John Lennon’s friends, family and colleagues for these books.  Shoulda Been There focuses Lennon’s life from his birth in 1940 to the discovery of the Beatles by manager, Brian Epstein, in 1961. Shivering Inside continues Lennon’s story from 1961 to the birth of his son Julian.  Kessler is covering Lennon’s entire life in nine historical novels, the next of which is to be published in October 2013.

Jude Kessler’s books have been recognized by Beatles experts worldwide. Goldmine Magazine called Kessler “a master storyteller” and Bill Harry, author of The Ultimate Beatles Encyclopedia, called Shoulda Been There “a real tour de force!”  The Houston Chronicle said: “The reader has a peephole on events that shaped Lennon’s childhood and the beginning of the Beatles!”
               
The first editions of Shoulda Been There sold out in eight months and now sell on the internet for upwards of $1,000.

Shoulda Been There and Shivering Inside are available through www.Amazon.com, www.TheFest.com, and The Book Merchant in Natchitoches, LA. For more information on Jude Kessler, visit her website: http://www.OnTheRockBooks.com or email her at: rjkess@comcast.net
