MEMOIRS OF A GO-GO DANCER. Justin Sheedy’s first job out of school was a symbol of his rebellion against the 1980s – a decade so lame it cried out for any other. Crackernight, the annual fireworks festival of his childhood, was gone. So was childhood. Justin’s teen age would be a search for new fireworks. He would find them. In his legendary schoolteachers, in questioning his elders, in playing rock and roll, in marching against nuclear madness, and in that scariest of all things known to Man: GIRLS. And all that was before he became a Go-Go Dancer! Then the fun really started…
ADVANCE READER REVIEWS…
“100% Unputdownable… Justin, I am loving it. I am with you on your journey. Your writing style is a perfect fit for me with the humour and pace. This speaks to me in the same way that ‘Crackernight’ did. 5 out of 5.” – Yasmine Wick Kopita, Austin, Texas.
“What a great read. Felt like I had found an old diary in a dusty box at my parents' place. Brought back all the awkwardness, anxiety and exuberance of youth!” – Andrew Tabacchi, Sydney.
