After fifteen years of international exposure as an anchor for CNN's Headline News, Lynne Russell has become one of the most recognized and beloved women working in broadcast journalism. Renowned for her on-air combination of professionalism and irrepressible energy, Russell is every bit as remarkable off camera as she is on. Not only does she know her way around a newsroom, but as a private investigator, bodyguard, and black belt, she is a force to be reckoned with. Russell writes, for the first time, about her amazing life, from her memories of childhood as a self-described nomad following her army father around the globe, to a frank look at her ill-advised early marriage, to her steady rise through the ranks of radio and television. Then she turns her attention to what her remarkable achievements have taught her about work, love, body language, and the best little shoe store on the Champs Elysée, and gives us her gutsy advice for life today.

“PJ Santini is the love child of Janet Evanovich and Elmore Leonard.” - The Toronto Star (Rita Zekas)Quirky and witty, HELL ON HEELS: THE TV NEWS BUSINESS CAN BE MURDER is fast-moving recommended reading for those who crave danger and passion in life, but still want to be home by dinner. Welcome to blistering summertime in Buffalo, NY, scene of the crime. Thirty-three year old PJ Santini, TV news reporter and mildly successful private eye, is on a wild ride between men, her certifiable Sicilian family, and insufficient funds notices, ever since her husband died on her - literally. But good news, she’s inherited the juicy journalistic job of Gerald Sigmund (Siggy), a sleezy vestigative reporter who has vanished into thin air. Her first assignment is to find him, dead or alive. She’s also inherited his disgusting office, which holds a secret that’s worth her life. But she has no idea what that secret is, or who would kill her to get to it. All she knows is that she just threw up all over the most valuable piece of evidence. Her only comforts are Chianti, four-inch heels and chocolate. And two men. Fiercely protective Tango Daly is her mysterious, tanned, toned private detective boss, a martial artist with a para-legitimate past tucked lustily into seductive slacks and silk shirts. They play exhilarating mind games when her stilettos get caught in the thick carpet of his office. Upstairs, the place is equipped with more surveillance electronics than Cheyenne Mountain...and a bed with satin sheets. Lanky Johnny Renza is darkly handsome in his trademark cream linen suit, and the first boy PJ ever loved... over and over, all through high school. Now he’s a top-notch competitive crime reporter who gets away with plenty, because he still knows how to hotwire hert with fattening food. As her butt is about to get it own zip code, it’s getting harder to concentrate on staying alive.

Pop works Cold Cases between meals. PJ wants those leggings that compress fat, pushing blood to your temples, swelling your lips to new fullness with a perky smile that looks like you're passing gas.

Love Heels!: The TV news business can be murder (PJ Santini Series)

Despite the growing significance of the voluntary sector in political planning, and despite increased research into the size, shape and structure of this sector, we still know little about its everyday dynamics.Drawing on detailed case study research with eight organisations in the UK in 1999, Moving pictures fills this gap, providing an accessible and lively account of the working of voluntary sector organisations.  It identifies eight key dilemmas of voluntary action and explores how these are experienced and managed within particular organisations.  In addressing these issues through practitioners' voices, it highlights the human perspective on policy and practice.The report will improve understanding of how voluntary organisations are structured and evolve, and how they respond to, or resist, opportunities and constraints.  Issues covered include:the infrastructure of small and medium sized voluntary organisations, and how they achieve much with little;the values and dilemmas of volunteering;the dilemmas of strategic planning;the issues and tensions associated with external agencies and partnership working.·[vbTab]Moving pictures will appeal to practitioners and policy makers, to workers, volunteers and users, and to a wider academic and student audience endeavouring to make sense of their findings in a critically analytical way.
