Welcome! This wiki came about because of the absolutely wonderful Romance Rock Bands Wiki. I love that wiki and I thought that I would start my own for Cruise Control because I can kind of use it like a story bible to keep track of my world and my characters.

New here? Check out the First Gig page before you jump in and start adding and editing things.

Please do not add any real musicians or bands or record labels to this wiki, even if they have appeared in a book. This particular resource is for fictional creations by Sian Ceinwen, or who are added with the permission of the author/creator of any other fictional creations.
