About the Book

"High-energy alt-rock fiction with a femme fatale twang." Living in the indie band capital Athens, GA, Trisha decides to start her own punk band. Four young women are brought together and The Forty Watt Flowers are formed. Rosemarie, on keyboards, has a sex drive as fierce as a tornado. Aline, the singer, is a hermit, scratching out poems in her antebellum mansion. Juanita, on drums, has a poison tongue a little too quick on the draw. Toni, on guitar, made the mistake of heading South to come out of the closet. In addition to managing her crew of misfits, Trisha struggles to figure out the chaos of her own life. The relationship with Brent is caught in the roller-coaster of his moods. She "lost touch" with her parents two years ago (and they probably still blame her for what happened to her sister). The Forty Watt Flowers is a novel that gets you tapping your toes. It's what you create as you wrestle your demons, the hottest, most frightening music you know. 5 stars: "A well-tuned debut novel from a very talented, seasoned writer. She slams home poignant observations like a musician playing finely-tuned instruments." 5 stars: "C.M. Subasic has created an ensemble of fully dimensional characters who at times you love to hate, and at others you hate to love." 5 stars: "it's hysterical, fun, tear-jerking, thoughtful, poetic, gritty (as one of the other reviews says), an addictive read I couldn't put down." "The Forty Watt Flowers is a beautifully written love letter to music and an irresistible page-turner. Colleen Subasic's novel, set against the the indie rock scene of Athens, Georgia, introduces us to five unforgettable characters. "As colorful and gritty as Georgia red clay. C.M. Subasic has created an ensemble of fully dimensional characters who at times you love to hate, and at others you hate to love. I'm a Southerner, a musician, and book lover, so this novel really spoke to me; however, anyone with a pulse can relate to feeling like a misfit in a world where you just want to make a difference." "I could just picture the girls sitting in a cafe with their combat boots and their flower babydoll dresses. Haha!" Online Book Club "Like a cold beer pulled from a frosty cooler on a hot sticky day this novel satisfies. Music and women tell the truth of their stories in way that is both honest and bold. For anyone who loves music, dreamt of band life or lived it a snap shot of a time and a timeless dream."
About the Author: Do you remember that burning, itching feeling of youth? The feeling that you need to create something... special? At fourteen, I took that feeling and wrote a sequel to the movie Stars Wars. I sent the manuscript down to 20th Century Fox. And so, my first rejection letter was pretty fancy. Luke Skywalker stood in the centre of a circle, holding a light sabre toward the sky. These days, in addition to my own writing projects, I work with writers as a substantive editor or dramaturge. Together, we're on a quest to answer a seemingly simple question: What really is this story do you want to write? What does it its essence? Why should anyone care? This process is like an unveiling, as little bit by bit, the story takes shape. Colleen lives in Toronto with 3 grey cats and a drawer full of lint brushes.
