Newsreader Kay Burley is another celebrity to turn her hand to writing, and she appears this year with her debut novel First Ladies on 12th May 2011. I have to be honest and say I really am not keen on this cover - it looks a little bit generic to me and certainly doesn’t stand out but hopefully the story within will be a lot better. Here’s the synopsis:

“What happens when the power of love challenges the love of power?

‘So, have you met the Prime Minister before?’

Suave PM Julian Jenson has just been re-elected. The nation’s darling, he has an elegance and natural charm in public. But in private the cracks are starting to show.

At his side is his wife, Valerie. Trim, tall, well educated but deeply unhappy – with her son and daughter away at school, alcohol is becoming a trusted friend.

Sally Simpson is at the peak of her game. Powerful editor of the bestselling magazine Celeb, she can’t wait to take her rightful place by Julian’s side.

Sexy TV reporter Isla McGovern has caught Julian’s eye, and she will do anything (or anyone) to get to the top.

When the three women meet, so begins a perfect storm, and only one can emerge as the First Lady.”
