If you haven’t been following the meteoric rise in the career of author Jane Heller, take note: Heller is the only author to boast three consecutive “Page Turner/Beach Book of the Week” accolades from People magazine, and has garnered five such notices overall. Her bestselling novel Sis Boom Bah has been optioned to Shoelace Productions as a starring vehicle for Julia Roberts, and her latest bestselling hardcover, Name Dropping, entered mass market with a 500,000 copy first printing.

Jane Heller is hot, and her works have found an enthusiastic audience who identify with her stories of ordinary women faced with extraordinary—and usually somewhat wacky—circumstances that they attempt to “fix.”

Female Intelligence is a modern twist on My Fair Lady in which psychologist-linguist-male/female relationships expert Lynn Wyman attempts a turnaround of her failing career—which suffers image problems thanks to a two-timing husband—by trying to transform an intensive man labeled “America’s Toughest Boss” into an empathetic soul who can share his feelings. With humor and style Heller has written another hit, one that translates perfectly into an audiobook that brings the wit and nuance of the humor to life, and delightfully communicates a tale about the trouble men and women have communicating.

Female Intelligence is Jane Heller’s eighth novel. She is a former publicity director at Dell/Delacorte, and past vice president and director of advertising, promotion, and publicity at Jove. She now resides in Stuart, Florida.
