I write fun, emotional, and sometimes quite strange romantic novels for Headline’s Little Black Dress imprint and for Harlequin Mills & Boon.
It’s 2009! And this year, I am all about robots. Well, that is, I’m all about science fiction generally, because my June book with Little Black Dress, Girl from Mars, is about a female artist for a sci-fi comic who takes a vow (in Klingon) not to get a boyfriend. There are Daleks in it, too.
If you’d like news of my latest and upcoming books, please send me an email using the contact button above.
If you came here looking for my alter-ego, B. H. Dark, please visit the B. H. Dark page.
Meanwhile, pop by my blog, where I talk about my writing and my life and, quite often, hot men.

GIRL FROM MARS
Headline Little Black Dress, May 2009
“Sci-fi fans rejoice—finally chick lit has a heroine for you!” —Chicklitclub
“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?
Out in the UK
HONEY TRAP
Headline Little Black Dress, July 2008
“A dark, edgy and unusual romance” —The Oxford Times
FIRST PLACE winner in the single title category of Romance Writer Ink’s More Than Magic contest
Sophie Tennant is used to sticky situations…
Because Sophie used to be a private investigator, setting honey traps for husbands and giving wives ground for divorce. But these days she’s an aromatherapist–an aromatherapist who’s going on tour with a rock band, baby!
Which is all good, until she recognises the band’s bassist, Dominick Steele: her first honey trap, and the man who taught her she has a lethal attraction to bad boys. But her attraction’s not half as lethal as the vengeful spouse who suddenly seems to be following her!
Will there be a sweet ending–or a sting in the tale?
