In 1985, Mark Cohen was twenty-one years old and searching for his purpose in life. When Ginger Smith offered him a job with her band, no one could have imagined how profoundly they would change one another—or how their journey would shape the future of heavy metal music.
In Girl Band Harem, Cohen takes the reader on a nostalgic ride through the early days of Coven, legendary to a generation of headbangers, celebrated for its genre-defying lyrics and face-melting guitar riffs. From endless miles on the road to steamy nights in cheap motel rooms, Cohen paints a vivid, unfiltered portrait of life with the all-female metal band that left an indelible mark on music—and Mark.
The year was 1982. Jennie was 38, recently divorced and my aunt's best friend. I was 19, a Star Wars nerd, and had little sexual experience.
She yearned to feel desired again. I just wanted to get…well you know what I wanted.
When circumstance threw us together, the attraction was powerful. But was it strong enough to get beyond the taboo?
Would we walk away or give into our lustful desires?
I was about to turn 20 years old and Lynn was 42. It was the Fall of 1983 and this is the story of the voluptuous MILF who changed my life.
When the classy blonde walked into Lenny’s Home Furnishings, I was too focused on making a sale, to notice the curves hiding beneath her business suit.
When she tried to seduce me, I was too naïve to understand what was happening. Instead, I embarrassed her and myself. Was it possible she would give me a second chance
1983 was coming to a close. I had just turned 20 years-old, and I was no wiser than when the year began.
For starters, I seemed to fall in love with every woman I slept with.
On top of which I had to dodge the sexual advances of my best friend's mother.
And I had just blown the biggest job interview of my life.
I desperately needed to prove to the woman in Human Resources that I really was the best man for the job.
