Jo Watson is clever, attractive, young, rich. She also happens to be one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. But she’s tired of the hype, the shallowness, the tedium punctuated with insanity. So she’s thrown herself into university life back home in England. Now all she wants is to be left alone to do her research. And maybe find a date she doesn’t frighten away. But shaking off her former life is harder than she thought. She’s hounded by the press, her fans and by her agent to do another blockbuster film. And just as she thinks she’s found the perfect man, he disappears. Luckily, she’s found herself a Sherlock to help track him down. James Sherlock, an awkward maths professor barely older than Jo who, annoyingly, has never seen her films and barely knows who she is.... Cambridge Blue is for anyone who enjoys Girls, Sex in the City or Sherlock. Note there are some adult situations and language.

Fifteen year-old Maggie arrives in London on the run from her humdrum suburban life, determined to make it big in show business. For more than thirty years she is exploited by both men and the media. She struggles against endless set-backs and disappointments, always remaining optimistic, always believing that this time her big break has come. Then, when most of us would have given up all hope, the celebrity circus rockets her to bizarre and unexpected pinnacles of fame. Starting in 1970 Maggie de Beer’s journey mirrors the rise of celebrity culture and the growth of the media which ruthlessly created it, exploiting and destroying the lives of girls like Maggie who willingly offered themselves up, happy to make any amount of personal sacrifices in exchange for a chance to live the dream. She is determined to make herself “interesting” and only when she finally achieves her goal, at enormous personal cost, does she finally discover, under the full glare of the media spotlight, that the family she was running away from was never as humdrum as she had believed. This is the story of a woman who just wanted to be recognised and loved by the public. www.MaggiedeBeer.com

"Remind me again why I thought spending six weeks with a bunch of hyperactive, sweaty and supposedly 'musically gifted' kids was a good idea?" Bailey Cunningham has gone and taken the plunge - she's not only signed up for the job of a camp counselor at Triple Lakes Camp for Musically Gifted Children, but she's roped her best friend, Savannah, into it too. However, the pair really get more than they bargained for when they discover they'll be sharing their summer with not only the kids, but the guy who looks as if he's stepped out of an Abercrombie and Fitch catalog, the quirky brother, and the sugar-coated flautist who's way too sweet for her own good. In the midst of the madness, only one thing's for sure: Bailey knows absolutely nothing about music.
