Mindy Friddle, author of About the Garden Angel, is this week's Girlfriends' Cyber Circuit star. But, in addition to telling you about her book, I thought I'd start asking GCC authors two questions in preparation for the release of Off The Record. Here they are:

Q: What song would you love to find out was written about you?
A: "Even Better Than the real Thing" by U2

Q: If you were going to be the inspiration for a song, what would its title be?
A: "She Saved the World"

Now, on to Mindy's book.
About the Garden Angel, just out in paperback, was a Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers selection, Fall 2004, --A Southeastern Bookseller's Associations (SEBA) Bestseller, and A Pulpwood Queens Book Club Selection. Here's a little description, and more information can be found on Mindy's web site www.mindyfriddle.com.

In Sans Souci, South Carolina, talk is cheap, real estate even more so. No one knows this better than Cutter Johanson, a gruff tomboy who waits tables, writes obits, and makes every effort, however comical and in the face of her mercenary relatives, to avert the sale of the dilapidated ancestral home. And despite her plucky resolve, all appears to be lost---until she strikes up an unlikely friendship with Elizabeth, a shy and fragile academic who puts both their fates on the mend.
