Those not familiar with the business of writing often mention the wealth of writers to Deanna Adams, who has just published her first novel "Peggy Sue Got Pregnant: A Rock 'N' Roll Love Story."

She laughs at that perception.

"They're thinking of people like Stephen King, not me," said Adams, who lives in Mentor's Headlands neighborhood and has several other nonfiction efforts to her credit. "I haven't made much money at all on my books but great things have happened to me by becoming known as a rock and roll writer."
