Fueled by an explosive mix of make-up, costumes, and attitude, Kiss burst on the music scene over 30 years ago and has become a rock institution. This rocking guide features an in-depth interview with founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, and also focuses on the special relationship the band enjoys with its audience.

You wanted the truth, you got the truth—the hottest book in the world! Fueled by an explosive mix of makeup, costumes, and attitude, KISS burst onto the music scene thirty years ago and has become a rock institution. The band has sold more than eighty million records, has broken every concert attendance record set by Elvis Presley and the Beatles, stands behind the Beatles alone in number of gold records from any group in history, and has spawned more than 2,500 licenses. There would have been no KISS without Gene Simmons, the outrageous star whose superlong tongue, legendary sexual exploits, and demonic makeup have made him a rock icon. KISS and Make-Up is the wild, shocking, unbelievable story, from the man himself, about how an immigrant boy from Israel studied to be a rabbi, was saved by rock and roll, and became one of the most notorious rock stars the world has ever seen. Before Gene Simmons there was Chaim Witz, a boy from Haifa, Israel, who had no inkling of the life that lay ahead of him. In vivid detail Gene recounts his childhood growing up in Haifa under the watchful eye of his beloved, strong-willed mother, a concentration camp survivor; his adolescent years attending a Jewish theological center for rabbinical studies in Brooklyn; his love of all things American, including comic books, superheroes, and cowboys; and his early fascination with girls and sex, which prompted him to start a rock band in school after he saw the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. KISS and Make-Up is not just the classic story of achieving the American dream through the eyes of an immigrant boy making good, but a juicy, rollicking rock and roll read that takes you along for the ride of your life with KISS, from the 1970s, when they were the biggest band in the world, through the ’80s, when they took off their world-famous war paint, and into the ’90s, when they came back bigger and badder than ever to become the number one touring band in the world. In his own irreverent, unapologetic voice, Gene talks about the girls (4,600 of them and counting); his tight bond with KISS cofounder Paul Stanley; the struggles he and Paul had with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss and their departures from the group; the new band members and Eric Carr’s untimely death; the enormous love and affection he has for the people who put him there in the first place—the KISS Army and the ever-loyal KISS fans around the world; his love life, including stories about his relationships with Cher and Diana Ross and with Shannon Tweed, Playmate of the Year, mother of his son and daughter, and his companion of eighteen years; and much more. Full of dozens of photographs, many never-before-seen pictures from Gene’s private collection, KISS and Make-Up is a surprising, intimate look at the man behind the mask. For the first time Gene reveals all the facets of his complex personality—son, rock star, actor, record producer, businessman, ladies’ man, devoted father, and now author.

THE CRIME Detective Nicole Fox has one of the hardest cases of her career. She works on the case of a man brutally murdered and thrown into a dumpster behind a Phoenix, Arizona Circle K convenience store. In the dumpster there was plenty of DNA and finger prints galore from hundreds of people who had been in or around the store that day, but none of them could be- long to the killer. The murder became known as the "Dumpster Killing." The brutality of the killing had the entire city of Phoenix, Arizona on edge. THE INVESTIGATION Nicole and her team canvassed Phoenix and neighboring cities relentlessly for a clue that could lead them to this vicious killer. Then a call from a Chicago, Illinois detective gives Nicole and her team their first big break in the case. Nicole books a flight to Chicago to meet with the detective who may have found the hired muscle who did the killing in Phoenix. The trip leads Nicole to a dangerous gun battle in a seedy bar on the South side of Chicago. The trip to Chicago also involves Nicole in a sexual encounter that she never saw coming. "I loved the characters in this book. It is an easy story to follow and so emotional." Eileen Baker Glendale, Arizona "I loved it. It's an easy read and not a lot of product names I couldn't pronounce or had never heard of before." Dan Hunter Sun City, Arizona "I especially like the bond between the two female lead characters. The way the author describes then I can totally see how they could take their relationship into a sexual encounter'." Janet Fry Phoenix, Arizona "I enjoyed it very much. The characters feelings for each other and their willingness to always be there for each other no matter is what I really liked. We need more of this in real life." Ryan Jones Tempe, Arizona "I thought for a male author he captured the female point of view very well. I really liked the sexual experiment between Nicole and Michelle. I felt it was very arousing yet very tastefully done. I didn't feel like I had to take a shower after I read it. I think this book is destined to be a best seller." Ester Long Mesa, Arizona "I really enjoyed this book, especially the raw emotion. I like the characters and the way they interact with each other. I would recommend this book to anyone."
