Rock on the Road
Sophie Shaw is 24 years old, homeless and jobless ... and somewhat of an enigma to others. When she's appointed Tour Manager to a heavy rock band, she is thrown in at the deep end. She has to face her past life and re-live past experiences that she had hoped to forget. Can she keep the band in order (and keep her mind on the job), so that they can finish the tour?
An author translation of 'Curiad Gwag', published in 2022.

Amazon Review from Lynzie Fitzpatrick
"This book was so much fun to read I gobbled it up in one day and was left hungry for more. A must read for anyone who grew up in the 00’s favouring heavy eyeliner, tattoos and ear-splitting tunes. From Wales to the big stage Konquest are a refreshingly real and dysfunctional band kept in check by Sophie - herself a misfit just trying to make rent.
Through Rock on the Road, Author Rebecca Roberts transports us back in time to grubby bars, stale beer and moshpits, celebrating our alternative early twenties in all their sticky horror and liberating glory. Through Sophie we get to experience the music scene from the road with a band of loveable misfits and dysfunctional egos.
I’ve never head-banged whilst reading before but I’m aching to do it again. Encore?"
