I have plenty of reasons to be excited about GCC memberJohanna Edwards, not the least of which is that she put Stone Temple Pilots, Chris Isaak, and the White Stripes on her Literary Soundtrack:
It’s Your Thing -The Isley Brothers
Bohemian Like You -The Dandy Warhols
An Honest Mistake – The Bravery
We Used to Be Friends -The Dandy Warhols
Brick -Ben Folds Five
Falling For the First Time -Barenaked Ladies
Go With The Flow – Queens Of The Stone Age
The Denial Twist -The White Stripes
Wicked Game -Chris Isaak Family Man
When the Stars Go Blue -The Corrs feat. Bono
Frame By Frame -The Honorary Title
Electrical Storm -U2
John the Revelator -Depeche Mode
Wonderwall -Oasis (What’s The Story) Morning Glory
Breathe – Anna Nalick
Just Like Heaven -The Cure Galore
Sour Girl -Stone Temple Pilots
Off the Hook -Barenaked Ladies
And here’s one song that Johanna thinks would make a great book title:
“The Denial Twist” by The White Stripes
About the book:
But hey, enough about the music. Here’s the word on Johanna’s new book, Your Big Break: Danielle “Dani†Myers has become an expert at romantic breakups ever since she was hired to “facilitate” them for clients of Your Big Break, Inc. In other words, she dumps people for money. But company rule #5 (do not get personally involved) is getting harder to obey. One of her dumpees is turning out to be the kind of guy she might just want to pick up on the rebound. and a new client has just walked in, begging for Dani’s help breaking up with The Big Jackass, who’s been leading her on all this time-and now turns out to be married. It would be a routine job except for one problem: the so-called Big Jackass is married to none other than Dani’s mother….
About the author:
Johanna was born in 1978 in Memphis, Tennessee (hey, don’t hate her because she’s young). She’s an award-winning journalist and a former radio/TV producer. Johanna’s debut novel, The Next Big Thing, was released on March 1, 2005 and landed on both the Barnes & Noble bestseller list and the Neilsen BookScan bestseller list its first week out. She has published over 250 articles in both local and national magazines and newspapers and has interviewed lots of folks in the entertainment biz, including 3 Doors Down, ‘N Sync, Carrie-Anne Moss, Kevin Smith, Nick Stahl, Carmen Electra, Jon Lithgow, and David Duchovny (but yes, you can hate her for getting to sit down in person with David Duchovny, whose–um–gifts are the stuff of legend).
