Ever since news surfaced a few weeks ago that popular radio and television personality Khadine Hylton, more popularly known as Miss Kitty, had written a salacious novel, the streets have been buzzing, and questions flying - what does Miss Kitty have to say now, and who, if anyone, is she taking aim at, or unmasking in this novel?

Well, come Thursday evening, the curious may very well get their answers with the launch of the highly anticipated debut novel, with a title that adds to the intrigue, Good Girl Gone Bad.

Set to take place on the grounds of Bookophilia, located at 92 Hope Road in Kingston, the launch of Miss Kitty's debut literary effort is already gearing up to be an event for the books - no pun intended.

"The response and expectation has been phenomenal," explains Pageturner's Karl Larmond.

Adding, "Let's just say it's been a real receptive presentation so far. All our distributors are excited about this publication, so much that some have literally made shelf space for the arrival of Good Girl Gone Bad in a few days."

The launch of 'Good Girl Gone Bad' will take the form of a casually elegant affair, with the European addition of tea provided by Tetley for the non-alcoholic consumers, while Baileys Irish cream will provide refreshments for the responsible drinkers. And the addition of BlackBerry giveaways by Digicel will only make the event that much more exciting. Other sponsors for the event include Wisynco, Rhapsody Cakes and Edible Studios and Plantscape who will set the atmosphere.

Set to commence at 6:30 p.m., the launch of Good Girl Gone Bad is already sounding like a stellar occasion, with participation from a wide cross section of society's luminaries and celebrities, from the likes of opening prayer by Tommy Cowan, and readings from the likes of Yendi Phillipps, Oliver Samuels, Professor Donna Hope, ace disc jock Kurt Riley, and also an address from Mrs Valrie Francis from the Jamaica National Library, just to name a few.

Good Girl Gone Bad will be available at all Sangster's Book Stores, all Kingston Bookshops, Bookophilia and wherever books are sold across the island. Fans can also catch Miss Kitty at any one of the over 20 islandwide signings set to begin this Saturday at Sangster's Book stores, Springs Plaza and Sovereign Centre.
