From singing Idol to author

AUTHORS WILL DO almost anything for publicity. Damien Leith might even do a little song and dance, which, fortunately for him, shouldn't be much of a problem. Leith, whose first novel, One More Time, has just been published by HarperCollins, is better known as the 2006 winner of Australian Idol, an achievement that shot him to stardom, here and in his native Ireland.

The then 30-year-old topped the charts with his debut single Night of My Life, selling 350,000 copies of his album, The Winner's Journey, and secured a worldwide publishing deal with Universal Music for his follow-up, Where We Land, which made its debut at No. 1 in August.
