Why it matters: Boyd's unique access to rock royalty – as Mick Fleetwood's former wife and George Harrison's sister-in-law – offers rare insights into the creative minds behind iconic songs.
The big picture: The former model turned psychology graduate spent years interviewing stars including Don Henley, Joni Mitchell and the Beatles for her book "Icons Of Rock: In Their Own Words", exploring songwriting, creativity and addiction in the music industry.
Boyd features on this month's Suffolk Money podcast, sponsored by Kingsfleet Wealth, where she tells host Kevin Burch about her journey from 1960s fashion to studying the psychology behind rock music.
What's next: The 13th annual Felixstowe Book Festival runs from 25-29 June at Harvest House on Cobbold Road, with Boyd joining esteemed authors including Rev Richard Coles and Esther Freud.
