The Road to Nirvana is a coming-of-age story told through the now ancient eyes of Theodore Herald. The manuscript shares a plethora of life-lessons told through a series of engagingly charming vignettes intended to sweep the reader, gently at first, into the raging torrent of modern history to its inevitable, though dramatic conclusion. Embedded comfortably alongside this story is a viewpoint of appalling viciousness, deceit, and corruption as told by Jimmy DeMarco and his hoodlum in training, The Count. Consigned to the dustbin of history the town of Glory fights desperately for survival. Evil paralyzes the populace. Set in the fictional 1950s town of Glory, Teds steady maturation is vastly accelerated when a series of brutal murders force him to choose between a trusted confidant and mentor or the status-quo and the rampant racial prejudice that dominates the town. The victims are discovered partially dismembered in shallow graves near his friends home by a survey crew for an improved road that links Glory with the neighboring town of Nirvana. This is a cautionary tale that reminds us that the folly of youth may come back to haunt us. It invokes the boyhood adventure of Tom Sawyer with the courtroom drama of Earl Stanley Gardner while recalling a simpler time. It also recounts the ugliness of society before the term politically correct was a part of our daily lexicon. Theodore Herald, who is at best a devil-may-care youth and at worst a juvenile delinquent, is suddenly thrust into the harsh spotlight of notoriety when he testifies on behalf of his friend. The metamorphosis from gleeful purveyor of skullduggery to responsible adult is like flipping a light switch. Unfortunately, Teds credibility is called into question when his colorful past is revealed. Lives hang in the balance as a deliciously twisted ending unfolds.

I Found My Friends recreates the short and tempestuous times of Nirvana through the musicians and producers who played and interacted with the band. The guides for this trip didn't just watch the life of this legendary band—they lived it. Soulsby interviewed over 150 musicians from bands that played and toured with Nirvana, including well-known alternative and grunge bands like Dinosaur Jr., The Dead Kennedys, and Butthole Surfers, as well as scores of smaller, but no less fascinating bands. In this groundbreaking look at a legendary band, readers will see a more personal history of Nirvana than ever before, including Nirvana's consideration of nearly a dozen previously unmentioned candidates for drummer before settling on David Grohl, a recounting of Nirvana's famously disastrous South American shows from never-before-heard sources on Brazilian and Argentine sides, and the man who hosted the first ever Nirvana gig's recollections of jamming with the band at that inaugural event. I Found My Friends relives Nirvana's meteoric rise from the days before the legend to through their increasingly damaged superstardom. More than twenty years after Kurt Cobain's tragic death, Nick Soulsby removes the posthumous halo from the brow of Kurt Cobain and travels back through time to observe one of rock and roll‘s most critical bands as no one has ever seen them before.
