Excerpts for you to read

Some people would ask why I am giving away the five chapters below. My response, tease them a little and let them sink themselves into a great story, leaving them with wanting more. So I welcome you to download the chapters below. Enjoy!

Chapter 1: a lost boy:

The opening chapter of I'm a Fan: How I married U2 into my life without going to the altar, sets the stage for the book. My mom is about to marry for the second time and I don't want to give up the lemonade stand. Read what happened on that May day in 1974.

Chapter 5: the summer of introduction:

What happened when I was introduced to U2 for the first time? It wasn't pretty. You can read all about it.

Chapter 13: he turned into “the fly”:

In 1990, U2 went to "dream it all up again." What came of that dream is captured in this chapter.

Chapter 21: the heart of the matter:

Us old timer U2 fans remember getting that coveted envelope in the mail from Propaganda, the band's official fan club, on the eve of a U2 concert tour. It housed the mother of all gifts - a ticket order form just for us fans. Read how my cousin and I got lucky getting tickets for the Elevation Tour opener.

Chapter 26: the anxiety of vertigo:

I have seen a lot of changes with U2 over the years. The biggest came in 2004 with the disbanding of the old fan club and the anxiety of what was to come.
