posthumous memoir will be published this winter.

The iconic L7 bass player sadly passed away earlier this year, sparking a wave of tributes. A true one-off, Jennifer Finch garnered respect across the music spectrum, and her loss is still keenly felt.

Jennifer Finch had been working on her memoir, and the final transcript was completed before her passing.

Written alongside Jeff Alulis, new book SHOOTING UP AND MAKING OUT: A Memoir will be released on January 21st via Transworld, a division of Penguin Random House UK.

Her collaborator, Jeff Alulis, says: Jennifer’s memoir was the last major project she completed before she passed away. She and I worked together for two years to make sure she was happy with every word of it, and with someone as intentional and thoughtful as Jennifer that was no small task! I’m heartbroken that she won’t get to see it published, but I’m thrilled to share her life and legacy with the world.

Henry Vines, Publishing Director at Transworld, says of the book: Transworld is honoured to be publishing Jennifer’s extraordinary memoir. Shooting Up and Making Out is a very special book. It captures in vivid detail the LA music scene of the 80s and 90s, the intersection between life and artistic expression, and Jennifer’s raw and unyielding commitment to both.
