Justine Brown

Works by Justine Brown:

• All Possible Worlds: Utopian Experiments in British Columbia
• Hollywood Utopia
• Spin the Bottle

From ABC BookWorld, "Partially raised on a commune, former punk rocker Justine Brown earned a Masters degree and later examined idealistic social experiments in B.C. in All Possible Worlds: Utopian Experiments in British Columbia (New Star, 1995). In a similar vein, Brown has revisited Tinseltown's idealistic beginnings in Hollywood Utopia (New Star $21) to reveal how its naïve foundations led to a tyranny of pleasure. Her novel Spin the Bottle (2007) is set in the fictional community of Gray Star, an amalgam of Sechelt and Roberts Creek, on the Sunshine Coast."

She appeared at the Sunshine Coast Festival of Written Arts, Sechelt in 1996.
