NINA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF GLOOM
coming March 2010
Gloom is good.
All work and no play makes Nina a dull girl…
But when you’re PA to a celebrity chef who’s tastier than one of his delicious dishes, you can’t help loving your job. What’s wrong with fancying the pants off your boss? Erm, everything if he’s married to someone else.
So when Nina meets sexy Spaniard Juan, she’s thrilled to escape to a new life abroad…until he does a runner with her hard-earned cash and she’s forced to move to “The Temple of Gloom”—a gothic flat with some unusual inhabitants.

GIRL FROM MARS
Headline Little Black Dress, June 2009
“I loved, loved, loved Girl from Mars…definitely highly recommended and has to go into my “best of 2009″ reads.”My Favourite Books
“I, Philomena Desdemona Brown, do solemnly swear to forsake all romantic relationships. There. Do I really have to repeat it in Klingon?”
It’s not like the vow, made by Fil and her two nerdy best male friends so they’d always stick together, was a big deal at the time. Frankly, Fil wouldn’t know romance if it hit her in the face anyway. Her one true love is her job as the artist for the famous comic Girl from Mars. Just like the comic’s alien heroine, Fil’s never had or needed a love interest—just her best friends.
Until one of her friends breaks the vow and falls in love, bringing her smack back down to earth. Could it be that romance is in the stars for Fil after all?
