Journo's Diary

A one-night stand...
A new career as a journalist...
Constant paranoia....
Endless lustful thoughts...
A perverted flatmate...
Baked beans...
It's a recipe for disaster.

As cadet journalist Rick Hughes stumbles through his new job, he has a few problems. Well, more than a few. A seemingly forgettable New Year's fling preys on his mind as he soon discovers the woman he slept with is a wanted criminal.



This is matched with his less than brilliant start with the Weekend Star and his constant inability to actually ask any women out on a date. And George, his flatmate, is a royal pain in the behind.

Journo's Diary is the day-to-day chronicle of Rick's life as he tries to cope with it all, a job made increasingly difficult when the criminal woman he slept with becomes a major news feature. Things get much, much worse before they get even remotely better...

"Journo's Diary will appeal in particular to the younger crowd, and to anyone who's ever worked as a journalist." -- book-blog.com, Debra Hamel
