Flaptekst van de roman van Stereophonics drummer Jamie Morrison

From the moment Andrew ‘Pop’ Morrison, a.k.a Wonderboy, heard the mesmerising beats of a drumkit through a classroom window, he knew he was born to be a drummer.

When Pop and his band hit the big-time, they find themselves on a one-way path to stardom. Enjoying the wild ride, the whole world is soon at his fingertips – and it’s addictive. But when his partying lifestyle takes a dramatic downward turn, he is forced out of his comfort zone and back to square one.

Stuck in limbo, the only thing that comforts him is Drewford Alabama’s personal diary, which he discovered in the torn silk lining of a thrifted suitcase, one fateful night in a New York hotel suite. Finding Drewford becomes an obsession and a path back to normality. But with only a name and mysterious messages on an empty page, will he ever find him?

Jamie Morrison (30 Juni 1983) is a British musician songwriter and producer, best known as the drummer in the Welsh band Stereophonics. In his teens, he formed the band Noisettes and had world-wide success. Since 2017 he has been part of a new project called 86TVs, featuring The Maccabees siblings Hugo, Felix and Will White, they signed to Parlophone records in 2022.

Marissa Stapley The Lightning Bottles review, recensie en informatie

  • “Fiercely visceral and exquisitely written, The Lightning Bottles is an ode to rock and roll, the 90s and the power of music to hurt and heal in equal measure. This one will satisfy readers looking for a tumultuous love story, as well as those in the mood for a twisty mystery. Be prepared for the wildly talented, charismatic duo that is The Lightning Bottles to take up permanent residence in your head and heart.” (People)
  • “Both a page-turning mystery and a love letter to the grunge era. The set-up is simple and compelling: what if Courtney Love set out on a road trip across Europe with her internet sleuthing neighbor to uncover the real truth behind Kurt’s death? The parallels to Kurt and Courtney aren’t that exact… Still, we all know what we’re meant to be listening to while reading it.” (Lit Hub)

Flaptekst van de nieuwe roman van Marissa Stapley

The author of New York Times bestseller and Reese’s Book Club pick Lucky returns with a spellbinding story of rock ‘n’ roll and star-crossed love—about grunge-era musician Jane Pyre’s journey to find out what really happened to her husband and partner in music, who abruptly disappeared years earlier.

He was the troubled face of rock ‘n’ roll…until he suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Jane Pyre was once half of the famous rock ‘n’ roll duo, the Lightning Bottles. Years later, she’s perhaps the most hated—and least understood—woman in music. She was never as popular with fans as her bandmate (and soulmate), Elijah Hart—even if Jane was the one who wrote the songs that catapulted the Lightning Bottles to instant, dizzying fame, first in the Seattle grunge scene, then around the world.

But ever since Elijah disappeared five years earlier and the band’s meteoric rise to fame came crashing down, the public hatred of Jane has taken on new levels, and all she wants to do is retreat. What she doesn’t anticipate is the bombshell that awaits her at her new home in the German countryside: the sullen teenaged girl next door—a Lightning Bottles superfan—who claims to have proof that not only is Elijah still alive, he’s also been leaving secret messages for Jane. And they need to find them right away.

A cross-continent road trip about two misunderstood outsiders brought together by their shared love of music, The Lightning Bottles is both a love letter to the 90s and a searing portrait of the cost of fame.
