“Every band has its problems.”

But not quite like Fantage as their star begins its unparalleled ascent in the mid-80s music scene. While the band members become the latest pop rock pinups to grace the tabloids, they are faced with the challenges of their sudden notoriety. The trappings of fame soon start to outweigh the perks, especially for Nigel and Shelly Thompson whose marriage is put to the test by more than overzealous fans. With a megahit record and an international tour with a punk rock icon, Fantage is on the verge of exploding…if they don’t implode first.

Note: This novel contains the occasional use of strong language and sexual situations.

In STRANGELOVE, Fantage's first national tour was pockmarked with calamity, but they still came out of it with their elusive record deal as well as a new legion of fans. FANTASTIC IMAGES picks up the story line as Fantage returns to New York as hometown heroes. While the band tries to adjust to their sudden notoriety, newlyweds Shelly and Nigel Thompson try to adjust to their pending parenthood, all under the invasive eye of the media.

Even before their debut album reaches the record stores, Fantage is slated to head back on the road as the opening act for aging British rocker and renowned playboy Corey Wolfe. The venues are bigger, the fans are more aggressive and the parties much wilder, but when old heartaches and long-buried secrets resurface things really start spiraling out of control. Will Fantage survive the pressure cooker long enough to grab a Grammy Award and will true love ultimately prevail?
