![]() In my (other) professional life as an academic, I study them both as well, so writing a rom-com set on reality TV is something I'm honestly amazed I haven't done before now: it's the perfect blend of a lot of my interests. Jodi said: ‘I'm an avid reader of romance novels and an avid watcher of reality TV. She is currently a lecturer in Writing and Literature at Deakin University in Melbourne where her work focuses on the history of love, sex, women and girls, popular culture and fiction. Jodi McAlister has had a passion for the genre of romance for a very long time and made it the centre of her academic career and research. A fun take on shows such as the hugely popular The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, these novels examine how the unlikeliest of loves can bloom in – well, the most likely of places. Here for the Right Reasons and Can I Steal You for a Second? are two adorable romantic comedies set on the same season of a reality dating show being filmed during a pandemic. Simon & Schuster Australia has acquired UK & Commonwealth rights to two adult novels by Jodi McAlister, YA author of the Valentine series. ![]()
