Another Song About Love (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Another Song About Love begins in the popular music scene of Melbourne, Australia, in the 1980s, when Lillie and her two close friends Wendy and Anna form a rock band playing gigs around the inner city. It's a time when roles for women are undergoing great change and ideals of romantic love and the nuclear family are being challenged. As the band becomes increasingly popular Lillie struggles to juggle her music career and her personal life alongside being a single mother to her son. Lillie ends up singing about love more than experiencing it; at least that's how she feels. The novel explores the roots of those feelings as well as the reasons why Lillie is so compelled to make a success of her life as a musician. With the sexism of the global entertainment industry being questioned once again and the #MeToo movement gaining international traction, Lillie Bloom's grit and determination is a timely testament to the strength and resilience women have needed in order to succeed in their chosen careers.

A collection of songs to accompany Another Song About Love is also available on CD or via downloads from Janie's website. The book and the collection of songs bring Janie's creative worlds - music and writing - together for the first time.

Autor

Novelist, Poet, Musician, Songwriter, Janie Conway Herron comes from a well-known, richly musical Australian family. Growing up in Melbourne with brothers Mic and Jim Conway was pure creative delight.

Playing music and songwriting is an exciting and rewarding part of Janie's life. She has enjoyed performing with numerous bands as well as touring nationally. Janie is currently writing and performing with Jatika, a trio based on love of singing and three part harmony.

Following a calling to focus on study, Janie graduated with BA and Masters degrees from the University of Technology Sydney and went on to gain her doctorate in Creative Writing from the University of Western Sydney. With that momentum, Janie spent the next fifteen years, teaching, mentoring students and coordinating the Creative Writing Program at Southern Cross University in the northern rivers area of NSW.

Janie's essays, poems, and short stories have been published in numerous journals and anthologies; her first full-length novel, Beneath the Grace of Clouds, was published in 2010 to great critical acclaim.

​With creativity and compassion at the centre of her life, Janie has been conducting internationally recognised creative writing workshops with Burmese refugees since 2004. The stories resulting from this project were published in a series of anthologies titled 'Burma Women's Voices'.
