Colette Shaw in the News |
|
|
"Tomorrow's Woman in Today's World" "Wow! I think this is my favorite piece of press since I went out on my own," said Colette. "My life is a big mix of passions, and the writer was ablet o make sense of all of them." |
|
|
|
"A Rose Among Thorns..." "I'm referring to the jukebox. The rest of us paled compared to that beauty." |
|

"Realizing a Dream:
Publication of Her First Novel" "Paul Stanley says he rarely reads articles about KISS, but he likes to see whether the papers publish a good picture of the band after they play. I agree. The facts aren't exactly accurate here, but I love the photo. Score!"

"Shaw's double live
leads to book promotion, departure from job" "The two reporters to put this piece together were brand new to the journalism world, but they were a llot of fun. At the end of the interview, one of them asked, 'Do you have any more secrets you can tell us?' Except for the Dean's Planet interview, it's probably t's the closest to a real Hollywood question I've gotten so far." |

"Dean S. Planet's
Celebrity Interview" "I don't remember ever being called a celebrity before. This was a fun interview, and the layout was super sexy. I feel like it's only a matter of time before the reporters from Us Weekly start chasing me down."

|
"Authors Combine Forces" "John Bullock is another author native to Western, NY. We worked well together and may pair up again for future signings. We had enough spark at our Friendship, NY appearance to make the front page of the local newspaper." |
|
|
|
|
"Don't tell Gene Simmons..." "...but I was more nervous calling Danny Neaverth to confirm our interview than I was when I called Mr. Simmons' office for book business. Dan Neaverth is a legend in Buffalo, NY, and when I was a kid just getting into rock & roll, I listened to him every morning. My interview was one of the highlights of my whole author experience!" |

"Rock and roll novelist schedules
book signing at Friendship Library"
Cuba Patriot, Cuba, NY "This book signing was done to help the local library where I grew up raise money for computers. What a great cause! I spent a lot of hours in that library as a kid, and I'm sure it helped fuel my passion for writing. I hope I can pass on some of that enthusiasm." Note to other writers: Take the initiative to write the articles you want published about you as a reference for news media. This one made the front page! Note the remarkably similar wording in this piece compared to the one in the Cortland, NY paper. |

"Tully Alum Returns to Central
NY as rock & roll college dean"
Cortland Standard, Cortland, NY Shaw: "When I returned for my class reunion, some of my former schoolmates had already seen me sprawled on the piano for this sexy shot. I suppose it softened the blow that I wasn't such a goodie two shoes anymore" |
|

"This Is Rock & Roll Radio,"
WXXE-FM, Syracuse, NY "The hosts of This Is Rock & Roll Radio play the title song by the Ramones each week to start the show. KISS's cover of that tune is one of my favorite songs. I took it as a sign that Dana and Carl would be fun to talk to. I had no idea! The three hours went way too fast." Additional picture links: In studio 1 and In studio 2 |

"The Sweet KISS of Success,"
Lancaster Intelligencer Journal, Lancaster, PA "This is the article that got me noticed by the KISS fans," claims Shaw. "It hit the AP wire, and before I even knew that it had been published, friends from around the US were emailing me congratulations because they'd read it online. When I went to the New York City KISS Expo a couple weeks later, people knew who I was. It was a big step for Won't Get Fooled Again." |

Fummer Film Fest "The first book signing on my home turf, and it just figured that I had an orchestra concert scheduled at the same time. I guess this is what it means to embrace the mission of the liberal arts." Shaw laughed when she read the headline. "They changed the tag line from 'When Rock Things Happen to Good Girls.' As a feminist, I appreciated the switch; as an entrepreneur, on the other hand..." |
|
|
 |
Oriflamme Yearbook "I hid my KISS life from the world for a long time, in part because I was afraid it would hurt my credibility as 'Dean Shaw,'" Colette recalls. "I never dreamed that it could actually help me build meaningful connections to people." "This article brought me to tears. It's a perfect accountability reminder - prodding me to remember why I get up each morning and what I need to accomplish everyday." |
|
|
|
WHRO Public Radio A dream come true! Colette talked about her film and duality. Listeners called in with hard-hitting questions about the Gene Simmons interview with Terry Gross. "I expected those types of calls," said Shaw. "As a feminist, I have to ask myself the same questions." |

WAVY TV 10 Colette was excited to give her second of two TV interviews while she was in Virginia showing her documentary. Any regrets? "Why did I have to choose that month to start growing my bangs out?" she wondered. |
