Laurie Lonsdale is a Toronto-based author/journalist/lyricist, who has written for such magazines as ’Bloom’, ’Moxie’, ’Fazer’, ’Toronto Exclusive’, ’Divorce Mag’, "Chicken Soup for the Soul", and even ’The Enquirer’. Among her published credits she counts five women’s fiction/thriller novels currently on the market, including ’Chasing Rainbows’, ’Neon Nights’, ’Hollywood Blues’, ’Four of Hearts’ (Recently Voted among the Top Ten Fiction Novels of 2007 in the Preditors and Editors Readers’ Poll), and ’Wild Side’ - a rock ’n’ roll romp that was loosely based on her experiences in concert promo in the late 80’s/early 90’s, and was voted among the Top Five novels of 2004 in an international publishers’ and readers’ survey. The re-release of the book with Whiskey Creek Press, scheduled for July 2008, will be accompanied by a rock/powerpop music CD, entitled "Strong and Wild". The music acts as a soundtrack to the story, and was co-written by Lonsdale and award-winning vocalist Heidi Propp. All songs were sung by Propp, who was named ’Best Female Vocalist’ at New York City’s 2002 IMTA Awards, as well as ’Best Female Rock Artist’ in the Toronto On-Line Music Awards of 2007.
The CD alone is available for purchase via RDR Music/Rosedale Records/Joe Radio Group, or from CD Baby, and as digital downloads from i-Tunes, Sony Connect, Puretracks, Play and Pay, Napster, and Verizon Wireless as ringtones for cellular phones.
