JANICE LYNN celebrates the release of her debut novel, JANE MILLIONAIRE (DORCHESTER, 2005). With this charming, fun tale Janice has established herself as a unique voice in contemporary romance which was validated with her winning Romantic Times AMERICAN TITLE CONTEST. JANE MILLIONAIRE competed for six months in the American Idol style contest and won the contest in April, 2005 at the Romantic Times convention in St. Louis, MO. Prior to winning the American Title contest, JANE MILLIONAIRE won the prestigious GOLDEN PEN award.From BooklistIn an effort to get away from the man who dumped her, and to appease her flighty sister, Jill Davidson agrees to pose as her sister Jessie, who landed the starring role in a reality TV show called Jane Millionaire. Now she's in a small European country, pretending to be Jessie, who is pretending to be "Jane," the princess of said country. Twelve men are to spend time with her, hoping to be chosen by the princess. But Jill only has eyes for Rob Lancaster. Rob appears indifferent, but he's attracted to Jill as well. Many issues stand in their way, including Jill's lies about her identity, and the fact that Rob's entire career depends on the success of the show, which does not allow for canoodling with the star. It's an all-out war between their heads and hearts as Lynn's love-struck characters struggle with conflicted feelings and subterfuge in this thoroughly modern, surprise-filled, and entertaining romance.

One moment is all it takes to change your life. For Sophie, it happened the day the fox attacked her.

If being attacked by a rabid animal isn’t freaky enough, her new town has secrets. People are dying, and Sophie feels she is being watched. Then there’s the arrogant and annoyingly sexy Sebastian with his plummy accent and come-to-bed eyes creeping her out. She should stay well away, but then he does live in the spooky manor house, and curiosity is her middle name.

Review"The Book of Fame captures the physical presence of the players and their epic journey with an almost Homeric resonance.... A brilliant read." -The Age"A remarkable work.... [This is] a story about more than just rugby. It's about greatness, about once-in-a-lifetime camaraderie, about knowing you are part of something special."-The Sun Herald"Jones ... interweaves myth and imagination with historical fact, and gems from contemporary reports with fragments of poetry." -Financial Times"The Book of Fame belongs to the category of whimsical sporting chronicle pioneered by WE Bowman's The Ascent of Rumdoodle and JL Carr's How Steeple Sinderby Wanderers Won the FA Cup. It is cunningly written and deviously constructed, with ... genuinely poignant moments." -The Independent"The reader hears the crunch of frost, the delight as players flirt with barmaids. The sense of honour and joy they must have felt as they brought rugby to a new and sublime level.... It cuts to the truth of the game in a way endless match reports and profiles rife with cliches never will." -The New Zealand HeraldFrom the Trade Paperback edition.Product DescriptionA glorious novel from the award-winning author of Mister Pip, now available as a trade paperback original from Vintage Canada.The Book of Fame is a lyrical semi-fictional account of the 1905 All Black rugby tour of Europe - a tour that shaped New Zealand's identity, from which the players returned to find themselves accorded almost god-like status. This remarkable, award-winning novel is both a tribute to some of the world's first sporting celebrities and an investigation into the curious workings of fame.Not just a book for lovers of sport, The Book of Fame is essentially a story about friendship and loyalty, and about a group of astonishing young men at the peak of their abilities.From the Trade Paperback edition.
