Move Over Jackie Collins

Make way for Diana Dempsey who shares her intimate knowledge of the cutthroat world of TV news in Falling Star. Dempsey, a former LA news anchor, has penned an exciting story about KXLA anchorwoman Natalie Daniels, who is about to be dumped as she approaches her fortieth birthday. News director Tony Scoppio is the baddie who feels youth and beauty are more important than talent and brains. He wants to replace Natalie with her protege, Kelly Devlin, a scheming reporter who will stop at nothing to get Natalie's job. How Natalie copes with her job crisis, a husband who has dumped her, an agent she's attracted to but who's marrying someone else, and a slew of vicious rumors about her mental stability, makes for a fast-paced, ... read from Ms. Dempsey, a rising star who understands the world of television news from the ground up.Kudos for a brilliant first novel from a gifted writer.

Fast-Paced and Sexy

From the first chapters of FALLING STAR, it becomes readily apparent that this book was written by a person with not only absolute mastery over the art of modern story-telling, but first-hand knowledge of the cut-throat television news business. Dempsey's book is a must-read for anyone who has entertained the idea of work in television news, been looking for a fun, poolside read, or both! I would recommend this book to everyone I know without hesitation!

Great read.

Fast-paced and glamorous, hard to put down.
