Cam Simpson’s life is pretty steady. She’s been in a good relationship with boyfriend Dean for 7 years, but they seem to have settled into a pattern of drudgery and boredom. He’s happy to sit and watch the football or CSI for hours on end, but Cam is fed up - she doesn’t want to be sat around waiting for him, she wants fun and excitement. She and her 2 best friends Ella and Saira take a girls-only holiday,and by chance bump into a couple of British guys, Tom and his mate Jake. Cam doesn’t expect anything to come of it, but when she returns, she hears a radio message that turns her world upside-down. Suddenly, Cam begins to doubt everything about her life, but especially her relationship with Dean. But can she hurt the man who has been with her for 7 years? Which decision will Cam make, and will it be the right one?

We posted last year that author Carmen Reid had signed a new book deal with Transworld and that there would be an exciting new project in the works. That new project appears to be a new stand-alone novel called The Jewels Of Manhattan that is due for release on the 27th October 2011. I must admit, it sounds amazing, sort of like a book version of the Hustle TV show!

It started with too many cocktails, as all great plans do…

1) Rob auction house where sister works

2) Sell the jewels

3) Disappear and live happily ever after

A completely brilliant and perfect plan… when you are a few Cosmopolitans down!

The three very different Jewel sisters, Amber, Sapphire and Em, all came to New York looking for a new life. But things aren’t working out as well as they hoped.

Em has had enough. She wants fame and fortune, and she’s got it all mapped out…

Jodi Picoult’s latest book Sing You Home is due for release fairly soon on April 12th 2011 and we finally have a cover to show you all. This sounds as if it’s going to be Jodi’s most controversial book yet and I absolutely can’t wait to read it, because it sounds amazing. Here’s the synopsis:

Zoe Baxter has spent ten years trying to get pregnant, and just when she’s about to get her heart’s desire, tragedy destroys her world. In the aftermath of loss and divorce, she throws herself into her career as a music therapist. Working with Vanessa, she finds their relationship moving from business, to friendship, and then - to Zoe’s surprise - blossoming into love. When Zoe allows herself to start thinking of children again, she remembers that there are still frozen embryos that she and her husband never used. But Max, having sought peace at the bottom of a bottle, has found redemption in an evangelical church, and Zoe needs his permission to take his unborn child . . .
