Lois Cahall began her career as a newspaper journalist in Boston, Massachusetts and as an associate producer for Nick (son of Judith Krantz) pursuing true-life stories for CBS TV movies. She's also appeared on numerous Television shows and was the anchor for ABC TV news "Top Priorityand" an occasional host on Good Morning America Now. This is Ms. Cahall's twentieth year as "The Screen Queen" (www.screenqueen.com), a syndicated radio personality covering the movie beat with an eye toward educating the "Bus Stop Mom" about age-appropriate family viewing of the latest Hollywood releases. Her broadcasts over the Saga Communications network reach more than 3 million listeners every week. Stepping outside of her personal of ""The Screen Queen"" Ms. Cahall writes about women's empowerment issues for women's magazines - including Redbook, Seventeen, Cosmo Girl, SELF, Marie Claire, Reader's Digest, Ladies Home Journal, Men's Journal and Bon Appetit. In the UK she's written for RED and Psychologies magazine and for the London Times. Ms. Cahall has completed her first novel, Plan C: Just in Case, edited by Simon Beaufoy, The Full Monty screenwriter who won the Oscar and Golden Globe for his runaway screenplay success with Slumdog Millionaire.

This is that rare and delicious thing, a satire with a heart. Lois Cahall has written a Thelma and Louise for a credit-crunched world - a book so sharp and funny it would make Billy Wilder jealous. But Plan C is more than just the sum of its laughs. As Cahall skewers the ridiculous follies of modern life with a perfect six-inch heel, she also forgives all our vanities. Which is what makes this, finally,a surprisingly moving read.
