THE CHAMELEON GIRL
"A rollicking adventure story with a glorious, Bondesque glamour… Gloria Fontaine is the thinking woman’s James Bond. Left me totally wanting to be a spy!"
Out September 2024 @AfsanaPress
"This novel is perfection. Reminds me of John Le Carré’s The Constant Gardener, but at the same time, a unique, magnificently-written novel. You won’t regret reading this."
2023 @AfsanaPress
"While there have been numerous stories depicting the experiences of biracial individuals and their unique struggles, The Chameleon Girl is a breath of fresh air."
