"Much more than a brutally honest, incredibly gutsy, cleverly written masterpiece of life married to the greatest rocker ever to shoulder a guitar. Shemane bares her most private thoughts down to the inner core of her soul. As candid as we all think Ted is, Shemane takes candor to an entirely new level with a gripping style that will captivate anyone ever involved in a relationship..
Not only a fascinating read but you won't put this book down without it changing the way you think about life and what's really important. I guarantee you will not be disappointed by a book that goes way beyond "a good book" and elevates into the "must read" category."--Michael Skupin, Survivor Australia
"In 1989 my old friend Ted Nugent and I met in New York to see how well we worked together as writers and band mates. Damn Yankees was born as we effortlessly wrote our first song "Come Again," and Ted blew me away with his incredibly sensitive, poetic prose that to this day many people attribute to me. What also struck me as unusual was how the normally T-shirt, jeans and mucking boots, hair in a ponytail Ted was dandily dressed in a couture leather jacket, custom-made shirt and pants and the most expensive pair of handmade boots I'd ever seen with the Nugent mane of hair in full pouf. Ted was smitten and like the proverbial peacock, he was presenting his most impressive feathers to woo this woman he called Shemane. When I met her a few hours later I understood. Ted had met his soul mate, his partner for life and he knew it. "Come Again" was about her.
Shemane and Ted wasted no time building a family and an empire that reflected their larger than life personas. Behind Shemane's stunning beautyand razor-edged business sense is the heart and soul of a simple Midwestern girl who is as comfortable deep in the African jungle as she is in the wings at one of Ted's concerts, in front of or behind the camera or simply spending time at the ranch she and Ted created in the Michigan countryside. Her story is one of adventure, endurance, love and determination to tame the lion called Ted."--Tommy Shaw'
"MARRIED TO A ROCK STAR is a wonderful book celebrating a timeless love story. Shemane Nugent writes of her marriage to Ted with insight born of the tests of character between two successful people. As I've stated before, Ted is one of the good guys, and Shemane has made him better."-Charlton Heston
"After reading "Married to a Rock Star" you will have a renewed sense of the morality and faith that underlie the important institution of marriage. Shemane shares a personal journey that will resonate with those committed to finding ways to make their relationship work.
