It's 1977 and punk has just hit Liverpool.  

The legendary Eric's club is home to the city's rebels and posers - many became pop stars.

Penny Kiley became a music journalist.

Atypical Girl - Punk rock, Liverpool and trying to be normal' is Penny's homage to the city's re-emergence as a musical force which had lain dormant since the Beatles upped sticks and left in the 60's.

The book is also the highly personalised tale of an autistic woman in the male-dominated world of music journalism - working for Melody Maker, Smash Hits and the Liverpool Echo, reviewing gigs by Echo and the Bunnymen and Dead or Alive, and interviewing Jonathan Richman and the rest.

"If anyone can paint a true picture of those glorious days, Penny can." - says Will Seargent.
