"How
does Courtney KNOW so much about the music business? As I'm
reading the story I'm thinking she must have been a rock star in
another life, or at least be really close to someone who's is
the industry. I feel like it's an autobiography!"
Laura
Warshauer, best-selling US artist
"Entertaining
as well as giving info on some of the little 'backstage /
industry secrets..."

"Think
Rock Babylon for the Skins generation. Brilliant stuff."
Sophie Jewell
"I love
the way several stories weave in and out of one another
throughout the story. This isn't just a book about the music
industry, it's about fame, success and what it really means to
'make it' in today's society."

‘Does for the
music industry what The Devil Wears Prada did for
fashion.’
By day, Zoë
Kidd lives a tedious existence in a seventh floor
office, following orders and trying to appease her
parents. By night, she’s the raucous lead singer of
an all-girl rock band.
For six
years, Dirty Money has toured the London scene,
playing pubs, clubs, shopping centres and the odd
public toilet. Shannon, the band’s feisty Irish
drummer, is a perpetual source of ‘useful contacts’
while bass player Kate ensures they make it onto the
stage. Ellie, the dope-smoking drifter and Zoë’s
loyal best friend, only needs to pick up her guitar
for her raw talent to shine through.
They’re
gifted, they’re beautiful and they’re determined to
make it to the top. So when the American hit-maker
Louis Castle appears at one of their gigs with talk
of a major record deal, it seems as though finally,
their dreams are beginning to come true.
But fame
turns out to be more elusive and more divisive than
any of the girls had imagined, bringing with it
decisions that threaten to literally ‘break the
band’.
The Fame
Factor is a fast-moving story of friendship,
resilience and revelation, exposing the darker side to an industry
obsessed with the limelight.
