The Bangles' Susannah Hoffs Is Now An Author

Audio By Carbonatix

For Susannah Hoffs, it’s just another manic manuscript. The Bangles’ guitarist and vocalist can now add “author” to her resume with the debut of her first novel, “This Bird Has Flown.”

And Hoffs seems to follow the age-old advice of “write what you know,” as the subject of her book is fictional pop singer, Jane Start, who- after a meteoric rise covering someone else’s song- has fallen from the public eye. The novel opens to find Hoffs’ hero, Jane, living with her parents before finding love and a career resurgence that takes her to Las Vegas and London.

Hoffs’ debut novel is available now from publisher Little, Brown and Company.
