After leaving her ex-husband Jonathan, Amy Dodge thought she’d write the Next Big American Novel. Instead she’s the author of the highly popular children’s series Run, Carlie, Run starring her very own West Highland Terrier Carlie and the fictional Robert Maguire.

When Carlie is offered her own TV show, Amy starts to feel a stranger in her own life. Can Amy claw her way back into Carlie’s life and can she start to re-love New York City again?

Shari Low’s first book on her return to her original publishers Piaktus, Temptation Street, finally has a book cover. I’m not a huge fan of the dark background but bar that I quite like the book cover! It’s due out on May 6th 2010 and here’s the synopsis:

Have you ever taken a wrong turn into Temptation Street…?

Suze has a niggling feeling that her husband Karl’s marital sat-nav has taken a wrong turn and led him down the road to temptation. What’s a suspicious wife to do?

Mel knows that her sweet, docile husband Joe would never, ever cheat. But when Suze, her sister-in-law, hires a honeytrap to test Karl, the results blow Mel’s world apart.

Mel, Joe, Suze, Karl. They’re family. They’re friends. And they’re about to discover whether or not they can navigate those other F-words – fidelity and forgiveness.

Or is relationship misbehaviour much more fun when it’s a two-way street? …

Not only has it been postponed from its original release date of last summer, but Deborah Wright’s latest book The Celebrity Mother has also has a pre-release cover change too. I’m glad actually because this one is much more subtle and classy than the brash black and gold number that was previously seen. It’s still due for release on 21st January 2010, and here’s the synopsis again:

“Karina West was once the darling of the gossip pages and the top of the British pop charts. But now all that’s fading away, and she needs something more - something both to make her life more fulfilled and more importantly, to get her back in the tabloids. And how better to achieve this double whammy than by adopting a poor, needy child from a far-off country?

All that sweet, ten-year-old Devika wants is a new mummy who will take her away from her Delhi orphanage and let her have a home and a family again. She prayed to Krishna for this to be so, but was she ready for a blonde, British popstar to sweep her up and back to London?

Karina and Devika are soon front-page news, but neither of them realise just how far their emotional journey will take them.”
