Diane Hatz Shares Rock Gods and Messy Monsters
•
Craig Stewart & Barb Robitaille
A career in the fast-paced, cutthroat corporate music industry provided Diane Hatz with the inspiration for her first novel – Rock Gods and Messy Monsters. Diane writes with a masterful blend of satire and absurdism to create fantastical characters in bizarre scenarios that shed light on seamier sides of the star-making music machinery.
Diane shares how writing helped her gain perspective on her music industry stint – the thrills as well as the inequities she experienced there. She also provides us with her take on indie publishing and a few hard-won tips about how to avoid some publishing pitfalls.
