Kim's dream was publishing this book, and working on this has brought her even closer to him. She is thrilled to make this book a reality and is even more excited to share it with everyone. She resides in New York with her family and pets. Mike Vernon's credits include producing some of the all-time great artists, such as Savoy Brown, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, John Mayall, Ten Years After, Peter Green, and Fleetwood Mac. Vernon still works in music to this day, most recently with his new formed band Cat Squirrel. 40 colour and b/w photos The autobiography of British blues-rock guitarist Kim Simmonds (19472022).
