In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of KISS Alive II (October 24th, 1977) Lydia Criss, former wife of PETER CRISS, will be offering her memoir, Sealed With A Kiss, for half-price at $30.00 (shipping not included) for one day only on Halloween (Wednesday, October 31st) through her website www.LydiaCriss.com or www.amazon.com

Told from her unique perspective, the epic 368 page endeavor weighs almost five pounds, measures 10x12 and contains over 1,500 intimate rare and unpublished photos.

“The excitement level was high in anticipation of the release of KISS Alive II in 1977. KISS was one of only a handful of bands to achieve breakthrough success with a live recording as they did with KISS Alive prior to this. Now, with the release of their second live album, everything was in high gear. It was hectic, chaotic, wild, and wonderful. It was nonstop traveling with First Class treatment. It was a blast!” says Lydia.

Accompanying the 125,000-word manuscript, Sealed With A KISS is permeated with live photos from the band’s early club days to sold-out Madison Square Garden shows, not to mention hundreds of exclusive behind-the-scenes shots and obscure mementos which Lydia has assiduously collected along the way.

The book covers three distinct eras: Peter and Lydia’s life prior to KISS, from their initial meeting to their marriage and Peter’s early struggles through over 500 grueling club gigs; Peter’s entry into KISS and their skyrocket into superstardom; and finally, Lydia’s separation and eventual divorce from Peter, and her life in the decades that followed as a successful entertainment photographer (VAN HALEN, CHEAP TRICK, QUEEN, ROD STEWART and THE WHO are among the main acts she has lensed).
