Bobby Rock

The author of nine books, Bobby is a prolific writer whose work covers a diverse range of subjects: music/art/creativity, health and nutrition, exercise and fitness, the mind/body connection, metaphysics and philosophy, creative non-fiction, memoir, human sexuality, veganism, animal advocacy and environmental issues, even fiction and poetry.

Bobby's first book, "Metalmorphosis," was published way back in 1989 and soon became a mainstay title in the Warner Brothers catalog. He then went on to to publish several more titles—both with major publishers and with his longtime imprint, Zen Man Media—before segueing into a number of ghostwriting projects.

Bobby's newest book is called The Boy Is Gonna Rock: A Drummer's Journey From Houston to Hollywood in Search of Hair Metal Heaven. It's a whirlwind adventure with the ex-Kiss guitarist's Vinnie Vincent Invasion through recording sessions, video shoots, extensive tours, and the “rock star” life—all set against a chaotic (yet amusing) backdrop of debauchery, dysfunction, and humor. It’s also one of the more engaging and insightful stories you will encounter about a boy’s impossible dream roaring to life during this most beloved era of pop culture, then barreling forward three decades into the present.

Bobby is also an accomplished performer and studio drummer, having released three records as a solo artist and worked with a diverse roster of artists, including ex-Kiss guitarist's Vinnie Vincent Invasion, funk-rock pioneers Rare Earth, the multi-platinum Nelson and Slaughter, Alcatrazz feat. Graham Bonnet, Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent band), Gary Hoey, the Stu Hamm Band, Nitro, Hardline, and Monster Circus (feat. Dee Snider). He is currently recording and touring with rock icon Lita Ford.
