Hot-off-the-press, chick-lit novel by Lions Bay Writer/Producer, Shannon Nering.

Set behind the scenes of North America's most popular guilty pleasure-- reality TV--Reality Jane delivers a highspirited, delicious tale of finding love and a career in Hollywood while juggling lipo envy, singlehood angst, and the resounding results of success.

Reality Jane follows Jane Kaufman, a Canadian journalist who, thanks to a lucky connection,

finds herself in LA as a producer on a hot new reality show. Mingling with rock stars, attending Grammy parties, and visiting the Sex Kitten Mansion, Jane sees her new career as a one-way ticket to the bigtime! But for a small-town girl thrust into the cutthroat Hollywood scene, 90- hour work weeks, heartless bosses, and superficial womanizers are a rude awakening.

 

Just when her love life seems at its bleakest, along come not one but two guys vying for her heart: hunky Alex, a hot up-and-coming reality show host, and Grant, a sweet, sincere cameraman who's unfazed by Hollywood fame. With a sizzling sex life on the horizon, and maybe even true love, Jane's fondest hopes seem en-route to full realization when she lands the cherry gig of all time: a producer's post on TV's hottest new self-help talk show.

But the deeper Jane ventures into reality TV, the more completely un-real her life-personal and professionalbecomes. And the realities of life behind-the-scenes -- like goading people to confess their deepest, darkest secrets on cue -- are chipping away at her very soul.

Lead character (and narrator) Jane embodies the perfect blend of smart-ass sarcasm, weary cynicism, and hopeful romanticism to appeal to today's readers. She also possesses a biting, acerbic wit that casts devilish, laughout- loud observations on the Hollywood scene, which are sure to please celeb watchers and reality show junkies alike.

A hugely entertaining glimpse at the world of reality TV from one of its own, who's lived and breathed the business practically since its inception, Reality Jane is the chick-lit novel that reality TV junkies and chick-lit enthusiasts have long been waiting for.
