Praise for THE NIGHT I GOT DAVID BOWIE LAID, SORTA\“Edwin Heaven’s excellent ‘kiss and tell-all’ has all the makings of a runaway bestseller! I give it FIVE cherry bombs!” — CHERIE CURRIE Voice of The Runaways, author of Neon Angel, actress, chainsaw artist“Strap it down and strap in, folks! Edwin Heaven is coming in hotter than hell with his new memoir, and you definitely don’t want to miss it. Salacious, shocking, titillating and hilarious – everything you could possibly want – and I urge you to come along for the ride. I did, and I’m still dizzy!” — SALLY MANN ROMANO Author of The Band’s With Me: Tour 1964-1975“WOW! Edwin Heaven spills enough tea to float the Queen Mary! This page-turner tells all not just about Rock Royalty such as Bowie, Mick, Jimi, Iggy, Dee Dee, and James Brown, but also Hollywood Heavyweights like Steve McQueen, Jack Nicholson, Francis Coppola, Robin Williams, and Kim Novak. Read this and you’ll learn enough stories to be the center of attention at cocktail parties! It’s like pop-culture history retold by Ken Russell!” — LAURA ALBERT a.k.a. JT LEROY Author of Sarah, The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things and Harold’s End“Everyone knows Edwin Heaven writes like hell, but we have been waiting all these unconscionable years for him to drag out his steamer trunk of stories. Worth it. Edwin spins his tales with wit, whimsy and a delightful soupcon of depravity that gives the whole thing its spice. Long live Edwin Heaven. I eagerly await Volume Two.” — JOEL SELVIN Author of Hollywood Eden and Here Comes The Night, and music critic“Edwin Heaven is one of the most original, clever and witty writers in America today, and The Night I Got David Bowie Laid (Sorta) is his masterpiece. This slice of San Francisco rock in the 1970s is served up like a delicious piece of cherry pie and a scoop of ice cream – tasty, filling, not necessarily good for you, but it sure does go down good.” — MARSHALL TERRILL Steve McQueen: The Life and Legend and Elvis and the Colonel“Edwin Heaven has written a rock and roll memoir for the ages. His encounters with the greats make for a terrific read, but best of all is Heaven’s comic, exuberant self at the center of it.” — ELIZABETH MCKENZIE Author of The Dog of the North, Stop That Girl, and The Portable Veblen Read more
