Bert Murray Hi everyone,

I'm Bert Murray and I'm the indie author of Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled. Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled is a coming of age story about first love, friendship and betrayal that takes place at Elerby University in upstate New York. Colin is nineteen years old and lives for the Beatles, John Lennon and classic rock. He falls in love with his dream girl, Jasmine, an attractive student from Laguna Beach, California. Jasmine is a vegetarian who likes yoga, meditation, liberal politics and Jim Morrison. My novel has 27 Five Star ratings on Goodreads so far! Right now my book is on sale on Amazon's kindle store for only 99 cents!

Here are some reviews of Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled by Goodreads members:

Author Lee Holz's 5 stars Goodreads review of Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled

Colin Preston Rocked and Rolled is Bert Murray’s impressive debut novel. Beautifully written, it is a coming of age story that should resonate with everyone who has been a college sophomore, dealt with college friendships and known the agony and ecstasy of first love. Murray captures the immaturity, impulsiveness and neediness of adolescents and balances them with portraits of intelligence, sensitivity and caring. The book is often funny, sometimes poignant and always entertaining, a great read!

Angelic's 5 stars Goodreads review of Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled

I really loved this book. I rarely read books from a male point of view but this one was very amusing. Colin is a typical 19 year old college student and Jasmine is a free spirt. Colin falls in love with Jasmine but sadly she does not feel the same. Friendship, love, and partying makes a fun read. I love all the song references. All in all a great book and one i would love to read again...


Ina's 5 stars Goodreads review of Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled

I literally couldn't put this book down. It captured me from the first couple of pages and kept me interested till the end. While reading, I almost felt like I was in college again and experienced all those emotions that were once so important and volatile.

I loved references to the music and if you are Beatles fan you will LOVE this book!

Anyone who had a crush in college should definitely read this book and it will make you feel again and experience again those crazy irrational actions that you were willing to take just to be with that person.

This is defnitely one of my favorite books and I look forward to reading more Bert Murray's creations!


Naomi's 4 Stars Goodreads Review Of Colin Preston Rocked And Rolled

This book was sent to my Kindle from the author Bert Murray so that i could read & review it so i would like to say thank you for that:o)
I really enjoyed this story. It's about a college guy named Colin Preston & his trials & tribulations of his college love-life. I got so engrossed in the story line that i swear i could feel Colin's anger & frustration at the heartbreak Jasmine (the bitch) caused him. I would actually like to slap her myself lol. It kind of reminded me of a YA novel with swearing, drugs, sex & tons of alcohol.
There is lots of humour too so not a boring moment to be found.
I would certainly recommend this to anyone that likes realistic fiction & will be recommending it to my Goodreads friends.
