Unfortunately, she does not live with one, (nor indeed has raised one).

Her deeply held convictions include: love conquers all yoga pants are daywear and what a woman really wants is a man who cleans. Outside her imagination, she’s always been a professional writer, first as a travel journalist and then as a romance author. New Zealander Karina Bliss has written a biography for a rock star, swapped identities with her twin, raised three orphaned children with her ex husband, worn a cow costume to a Bachelor and Spinster ball, considered marriage for the sake of a baby, and been mayor of a small town. Turns out he is scared of something: being known. And certainly not make him fall in love for the first time in his life. Or encourage the good guy struggling to get out. All the damn woman has to do is write down what he tells her. Elizabeth’s integrity is the key to consolidating his legacy as one of rock’s greats. Contracting a respected biographer is simply about creating more buzz. His Resurrection Tour is shaping up to be his greatest triumph–if his golden voice holds out.
