FAME & OTHER DISASTERS
This is so exciting! My #adultcontemporary #novel, FAME & Other Disasters, published on 1 November 2024. Will you be on #teammolly or #teamemma?
This is a story about a fight between two television hosts who are best friends, a fight fought over social media. In the world of television, you never know what is ahead of you. Stalkers find you over socials, friends become enemies and lives are shattered.
Fame is a double-edged sword, and nowhere is this more precarious than in the cutthroat world of television hosting.
Molly Edwards and Emma Bears Jones are inseparable - two powerhouses of television, hosting shows on Shine Ch33 and BBS12. But years of friendship crumble in a single night, a scandal sparked by a reckless decision at an industry party that sends their lives spiralling out of control.
In a haze of drugs and poor judgment, both women end up in bed with Richard - Emma’s lover. Molly wakes first, horrified to find herself naked next to her best friend and Richard.
Desperate to forget the whole thing, Emma tries to bury the incident, but Richard isn't willing to let it go. He’s drawn to Molly’s tender touch and wants more, igniting a chain of betrayal.
When Emma uncovers their continued tryst, her fury explodes across social media, transforming a private mistake into a very public spectacle. Apologies from Molly go unanswered, and the vicious back-and-forth between the two goes viral, dragging their careers into the mud. Sponsors pull out, viewers abandon them, and both women are left without a show, their hard-won careers evaporating overnight.
Crushed under the weight of scandal and failure, Molly flees to Mumbai, India, seeking solace and purpose, hoping to mend her shattered life. Here she had helped build an orphanage during an extended gap year, Tulip Treasures. But redemption is never easy, and a near-fatal accident threatens to take away what little she has left.
As Molly fights to reclaim her life, the question remains: Can she and Emma ever reconcile, or will the wounds of betrayal be too deep to heal?
