Punk Memoir Now Available Online As Free Ebook

BROOKLYN, N.Y. - May 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Brooklyn, New York – May 19, 2013

Tony G. Rocco today announced the immediate availability of his first ebook, No Regrets: Memoirs of a Punk, for free on Smashwords.com. It can be downloaded in a variety of online formats at no cost until the end of June, 2013.

"I think my ebook is a must-read for anyone who wants a peek into a unique subculture and the forces that compel a youth to break away from the mainstream to pursue a radically different kind of life," Rocco said of his first published book. It draws on the author's personal experiences as a punk rocker in the San Francisco of the 1970's.

No Regrets traces the arch of a shy misfit as he rebels against his repressed Catholic upbringing and dysfunctional family to become a San Francisco punk in the late 70's. It brings to life the punk scene in San Francisco, the bands, the clubs and the author's most memorable experiences. More than this, it reveals the life-changing effect punk rock had on the author's life and how it set him on a totally different course.

No Regrets is currently available exclusively on Smashwords.com, but will eventually be sold through major online resellers including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple iBookstore and others. To download the book for free now, go to: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/315495
