Posted on Monday, May 18th, 2009 by Leah
Emma Burstall, author of Gym & Slimline, has her second novel out on September 3rd. The synopsis reads:
Evie, Nic and Becca are wannabe writers. The three friends are members of a creative writing group and they decide to enter a national competition. But while they ponder their plots and agonise about their characters, their own lives are going far from smoothly.
Evie’s still pining for the husband who left her for a younger woman and is relying increasingly on clairvoyant Zelda. But who is Zelda really? Nic’s battling a drink problem and is in despair about her workaholic husband who is addicted to his laptop. A shocking discovery shakes her to the core, but will she realise in time that she must stop protecting him? Becca’s a City highflyer who seems to have everything - until a childhood friend turns up, threatening to expose the secret she’s kept buried for nearly thirty years.
How will her marriage, her children, her friendships survive it? And on top of that there’s a deadline. The women have just eleven months to complete their manuscripts. Who will win the competition - and can there be any real-life happy endings?
I quite like the sound of the book, as well as her debut novel Gym & Slimline

If only you knew then what you know now… Imagine if you could go back ten years and meet your younger self – would you recognise her? And what advice would you give?
Emma Bowd’s debut novel, The Shoe Princess’s Guide To The Galaxy, is due out on 1st June and the synopsis reads:
Author Anne-Marie O’Connor, now with Random House publishers, has a new book out in August entitled Star Struck. It looks like a great summer read based around popular musical reality shows such as X Factor and American Idol, so is sure to be an enjoyable book. Here’s the full synopsis:
Olivia Felicone has just been made a widow after her husband Luca died in a car accident. 
Birdie Sederburg lives in LA, and is certainly enjoying her lifestyle. She’s the heiress to a global franchise of golf resorts owned by her grandfather Julian, and loves nothing more than spending her vast inheritance on hideous clothes and jewellery.
