Roller Queens: The Story of the 1973 Rust Belt Sirens
Liz Edon
Flint, Michigan—1973. Assembly lines shriek, bar lights buzz, and hope rides on eight wheels around a tilted track. The Rust Belt Sirens were an underfunded, over-bruised roller-derby squad who just hired Maxine “Mad Max” Harper as their new coach. The Sirens fiercist rivals were the Columbus Carnivores; led by Maxine’s ex-teammate and ex-lover, Vera “Viper” Crane.
Roller Queens follows every cheap shot and back-alley temptation the road could throw at them.
Friendship and fistfights blur into something darker, sweeter, and more dangerous than any scoreboard. In a sport where hip-checks hit harder than love, each woman must decide how much blood, sweat, and skin she’s willing to leave on the track.
This story is perfect for readers who crave women’s sports grit with authentic 1970s derby detail. Lesbian romance that smolders in motel rooms and locker tunnels. Bonds are forged through pain, profanity, and victory laps
Roller Queens hurtles you into the sport’s wildest era, where the hits are real and every jam could change a life. Lace up or step aside.
