Book 1: Boyfriend Practice
It is 1990, and Tessa Niscombe is a final-year student at Queen Victoria's College, an elite all-girls boarding school in England. She and her best friend Bonnie have survived this oppressive environment together and now see the world opening up in front of them. They are impatient to discover romance of the kind that they are obsessed with among the teenage characters in their favourite TV show, Twin Peaks. Yet can reality ever match the expectations that have been built through the intimacy of their secret 'boyfriend practice'?

Book 2: Daddysugar
Among the new intake of students for 1992 at the Imperial College of Drama and the Arts in London, Tessa joins diverse group of new friends who burn with creative energy. Yet her romantic life is bound to her charismatic patron, the media mogul nicknamed Admiral Handsome, who offers Tessa insights into the games that must be played to achieve success. Torn between the idealism of her young friends and the fleshy reality of making her way in the business, Tessa must learn to navigate this highly charged world and decide what sort of future she hopes for.

Book 3: Starlet Express
Having built a professional reputation in minor roles, the summer of 1994 finds Tessa on the brink of stardom. She has landed the lead role in the remake of a classic science fiction movie, starring alongside one of the most celebrated actresses in cinema history. Not only must she deliver the performance of a lifetime on camera, but she must also complete her education in the ways of the movie world by learning what she can from this most demanding of tutors. Can she truly make the grade or is she just another minor starlet?
It’s the perfect mixture of 80s Jilly Cooper nostalgia, spice and a MC that gets you totally hooked.

Praise & Reviews
for
Boyfriend Practice
I love the character dynamics, the time setting (circa 1990, when I was graduating high school… I could relate to a lot of the music, pop culture of the era, and youth-centered zeitgeist), and the themes connected to “getting into show biz.”
Ariel Archer
author of
The Fate, Chance and Choices trilogy
It's the heady, heartbreaking world of being new adults - and depicted in the 1990s as I remember them. Highly recommended.
