PRAISE FOR RESULTS NOT TYPICAL:

"This novel is a hilarious take on the world of slimming products and organisations, written with Catherine's wonderful wit?an extremely enjoyable first novel."--Trashionista.com, Top 10 Reads of 2011

?[A] delightfully satirical tale, with a fresh perspective ... and a quirky writing style. Just like its title, this book is anything but typical and if you want to take a chance on something completely different, this is the story to choose.? -- ChickLitClub.com

?Packed full of entertaining characters ? some you can't help sympathizing with and others you'll love to hate ? Catherine's tongue-in-cheek take on the weight-loss industry will be easily digested (sorry! no pun intended!) to anyone who has ever attempted a diet. Highly recommended.? -- Talli Roland, bestselling author of THE HATING GAME, WATCHING WILLOW WATTS and BUILD A MAN

?It?s so nice to read something that?s different, to read something that?s not your regular girl-meets-boy fare. Catherine has a natural flair for story-telling and her writing is immense. [RESULTS NOT TYPICAL] was such an enjoyable read ... I thoroughly recommend it.? -- ChickLitReviews.com

If the government finds out, they?ll all go to jail. And if their clients find out? Well, as Slimmit?s Slimming Specialists know all too well, there?s only one thing worse than a hungry, sugar-crazed, carb addict ? and that?s an angry one.

ABOUT CATHERINE:

Catherine Ryan Howard is a twenty-something writer, blogger and obsessive coffee-drinker from Cork, Ireland.

In 2002 her teenage metabolism finally closed up shop, forcing her to join WeightWatchers where she lost 20lbs in three months ? and then gained 30lbs in the three months after that. Thus her adventures in yo-yo dieting began. Since then she has tried calorie counting, smoothies, smoking, WeightWatchers again, Atkins, The Zone, South Beach, Dr. Phil, Bob Greene and Dr. Oz (collectively known as Oprah?s Friends, Inc.), WeightWatchers for a third time, a personal trainer, Alan Carr?s THE EASY WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT (it wasn?t), Paul McKenna?s I CAN MAKE YOU THIN (he couldn?t) and WeightWatchers online when showing up to yet another registration was too humiliating to bear.

Finally Catherine resorted to joining a very scary cult-like organization that cost a small fortune, forbade her from eating 99% of all food and tried to brainwash her into thinking decaf coffee was a worthwhile thing, all under the guise of ?behavior modification therapy?. She didn?t lose any weight and she almost killed someone (her clinic appointed ?health consultant?, if you were wondering), but she did get an idea for a novel...

Released March 1, 2012
As Book Three Of The
MEN OF INTRIGUE: A TRILOGY

DEVIL'S DECEPTION has a mafia princess for a heroine and an FBI Bureau Chief for a hero, so the story gives new meaning to the notion of "opposites attract." Brett Devlin is a fed planted in the home of Angela Patria in the guise of her bodyguard to get the goods on her drug smuggling uncle. When Devlin finds himself instantly attracted to the lonely, withdrawn beauty who is Patria's innocent niece, his life becomes complicated very quickly. It is Devlin's job to be with Angela at all times since he is supposed to be protecting her, and this task makes it impossible for him to conceal his growing feelings for the woman he is deceiving on a daily basis. How this dilemma is resolved and the embattled couple wind up together makes for a satisfying read, and watching straight arrow Devlin unbend enough to fall for the gangster's ward is touching as well as amusing.
