Using a combination of comedy, diary entries and sometimes poignant observations on life, Journo's Diary uses the misadventures of a young journalist as a reflection of someone dealing with their insecurities and coping with the good, the bad and the ugly life often throws at people. You’re bound to spot yourself or someone you know as you turn each page.
A one-night stand...
A new career as a journalist...
Constant paranoia....
Constant lustful thoughts...
A perverted flatmate...
Baked beans...
It's a recipe for disaster.
As cadet journalist Rick Hughes stumbles through his new job, he has a few
problems. Well, more than a few. A seemingly forgettable New Year's fling
preys on his mind as he soon discovers the woman he slept with is a wanted
criminal. This is matched with his less than brilliant start with the
Weekend Star and his constant inability to actually ask any women out on a
date. And George, his flatmate, is a royal pain in the behind.
Journo's Diary is the day-to-day chronicle of Rick's life as he tries to
cope with it all, a job made increasingly difficult when the criminal woman
he slept with becomes a major news feature. Things get much, much worse
before they get even remotely better...
Excerpt
TUESDAY, JANUARY 15
Have noticed a rash around my groin area. Could the legacy of my one-night stand be living on? It’s taken a while, if it’s what I think it is.
9pm. Think it’s just a case of dermatitis, caused by some nylon jocks.
Deputy Dave Jenkins sets out to find the murderer of the local high school principal, aided by a voice from the grave that is sometimes helpful and sometimes misleading.
"Murder isn't usually this funny."
