BOOK NEWS: Making Headlines by Jennifer Hansen

Real-life TV journalist Jennifer Hansen's experience in television news has seemingly inspired her upcoming book, Making Headlines. The novel, published by Harper Impulse and due for release in February, follows determined reporter Rachael Bentley as she tries to balance her often harsh new job with her messy personal life...

Working as a TV reporter has its challenges, but when Rachael Bentley decides to aim high and become a newsreader, she faces a whole new minefield of explosive scenarios.

Rachel's path sees her pitched against egos in the newsroom, office politics and corrupt politicians, not to mention rampant sexism, and a mystery stalker. Juggling a messy personal life doesn't help, nor does the emotional impact of reporting on life's tragedies and when it all takes a toll and Rachel starts partying too hard, she finds herself making the headlines instead of reading them.

Will she survive a world where dreams are shattered daily and will she find the man who can help her keep her soul?

CUTE COVERS: Kate & Alf by Carrie Stone

We're in love with the cover for Kate & Alf, the upcoming novel by Carrie Stone. Published on 5th February by Harper Impulse, the book focuses on Kate, who's thirty-two and hoping for a proposal from long-term boyfriend Alf.

Kate loves Alf. And Alf loves Kate… Doesn’t he?

Kate can’t wait for her long-term boyfriend Alf to propose. So he might be a bit of a control freak who’s obsessed with his career … and he also seems to have conveniently forgotten their two-year plan to get married, buy a bigger house and have children. But Kate’s sure that ring will be on her finger soon.

When her thirty-second birthday ends in humiliating, proposal-less disaster, even Kate is left wondering if Alf really is The One. Then Alf’s friend, Marco, needs a place to stay. With his dark eyes, easygoing manner and kind concern for Kate, Marco is everything Alf is not - and it's not long before Kate begins to wonder if there’s more to life than diamonds.
