NEW RELEASE


The Hating Game - Talli Roland (2011)

Mattie Johns is a confident woman who prides herself on her tell-it-like-it-is personality. With her recruitment business on the verge of bankruptcy, Mattie jumps at the opportunity to star on a dating show in the hope of winning 200,000 pounds. During the first taping, it is revealed that the male contestants are actually former flames of Mattie. Mattie is especially horrified to learn that her ex-boyfriend Kyle, who she believes cheated on her and then stole her business clients, is one of the contestants. As Mattie steers her way through some ridiculous dates, she begins to wonder about her decisions in the past. If you sometimes question the authenticity of reality television, you will enjoy how the author portrays the behind-the-scene planning of the show's producers. (AO)



Debut English author Talli Roland has launched a campaign to push up her Amazon sales, getting hundreds of websites and blogs to post about her upcoming release The Hating Game on December 1. The story is about a woman who goes on a dating show to be confronted with her exes as the contestants. It's released now as an e-book - or in March as a paperback. The summary says: "When man-eater Mattie Johns agrees to star on a dating game show to save her ailing recruitment business, she's confident she'll sail through to the end without letting down the perma-guard she's perfected from years of her love 'em and leave 'em dating strategy. After all, what can go wrong with dating a few losers and hanging out long enough to pick up a juicy 2000,000-pound prize? Plenty, Mattie discovers, when it's revealed that the contestants are four of her very unhappy exes. Can Mattie confront her past to get the prize money she so desperately needs, or will her exes finally wreak their long-awaited revenge? And what about the ambitious TV producer whose career depends on stopping her from making it to the end?"
