From producing her own albums, to designing her own stage performances, Kate Bush has been an innovator throughout her career. With hits such as 'Wuthering Heights', 'Babooshka' and 'Running Up That Hill', her music has always been ethereal, and her endearing image has often been regarded as one of mystique. The creativity and the conviction with which she has made her music continue to be an inspiration to not only her legions of fans, but many of her peers. In celebration of Kate's entire career to date and complemented with a narrative by Laura Shenton MA LLCM Dip(RSL), this visual biography is packed with photos - many of which haven't been published before (including several from her 1979 tour).
As an author, Laura Shenton is probably best known for her music non-fiction. In particular, Dance With The Devil The Cozy Powell Story (Wymer Publishing) and Tommy Bolin In and Out of Deep Purple (Sonicbond Publishing). She feels that preserving the legacies of musicians who have contributed something amazing to the field is imperative.
For readers who want to enjoy the ride of letting their mind get lost in a good story without having to commit to a lengthy read, then it might just be that Laura's fiction books could be your cup of tea. They are character-driven with a short and punchy narrative that gets to the point. They are all novellas or novelettes. Genres include gothic, fantasy, and adventure (mostly, but with a few diversions too).
And finally, Laura's children's books... They are simple, accessible and fun. A good choice for youngsters with a fertile imagination who are at the very start of their reading journey.
