Short Summary
Amy Schmit decides to move back home to Indiana. Here she forms a rock band with a mysterious visitor from outer space and the drummer from one of her previous bands. In need of a rhythm guitarist her friend Kelly eventually moves to Indiana and Hammerspace is formed.
The ending to Hammerspace hasn't been established yet. My goal is to keep the story going for many years. My current set of books will probably end with a cataclysmic battle on another world where the girls save Earth from annihilation. After that they'll put on an awesome concert.

Development Pitch
Hammerspace Pitch In the annals of Rock and Roll history there has never been a band quite like Hammerspace. Consider the lead singer and lead guitar player Amy Schmitt if you will. Here is the epitome of a powerful golden amazon goddess that can fight and drink better than any man in between sessions where she shreds her Stratocaster to pieces. Dark-haired Kelly Weber dutifully picks up sweet rhythms to round out Amy’s sound while being right on target as the band’s resident archer. The band’s drummer is redheaded Heather Muller who hits the skins hard and doubles as a ninja-like martial artist. Then there is Hammerspace’s bass player Amanda Wagner who doesn’t really fit in any category at all. She just dropped out of the sky one day and started thumping on those heavy strings. A sound ensemble of supporting characters tries their best to keep Hammerspace on track and cranking out hit after massive hit. Ronnie Trescoe is the band’s manager who has put them in the tender loving care of Amy’s younger sister Madison Schmitt. Despite her young age Madison is a capable musician, song writer and manager who is the glue that holds the band together. Sometimes its all a teenager can do to keep a band like Hammerspace meeting their deadlines while juggling homework and the rigors of high school life. The man of the house is actually a remarkable dog named Dozer or Dozie. He may appear to be lazy but make no mistake this guy is ready for action at
