I didn’t mean to unleash a curse. Not so long ago, I helped my BFF save the world from a horde of the undead. It was a pulse pounding, adrenalized adventure, but now it’s time to return to my true calling, farming, a task that takes an interesting turn when a recently plowed field reveals the entrance to an old tomb. Totally awesome. Almost as spectacular as the guy who shows up from the Cryptid Historical Society to document the discovery. Less fun? The jerk who broke my heart is back in town. If he dares to come near me, I will give him a piece of my mind right after a well-aimed kick. Life is anything but boring as I juggle two men, the strangest dreams, and a pajama wearing goat who isn’t acting like her usual self.

The Price of an Education is a darkly funny story about changing gender relations in tight financial times when Britain's population (and the population of the world as a whole) is ageing rapidly and females are outnumbering males in nearly every age-group. With ever more middle-aged women still frisky and libidinous, is it their destiny to become sexual predators stalking perennially among the dwindling young to satisfy their needs? High-flying media executive Bobbie Cullen is adamant: for her payments she wants 'a high ratio of bangs per buck'. Twenty-year-old law student Leo Allen is seduced by the offer of money for services rendered: he could pay steep tuition fees without getting deeper into debt. But he adores his girlfriend Heidi, which puts him in two horny dilemmas... Hilarious and dead serious at the same time, this story shows aspects of London which visitors seldom discover. It's a walking tour of the capital city's demi-monde. With scenes in Portobello Market, King's College along the Thames, a sex pad in Primrose Hill and the Notting Hill Carnival in full swing, London is just as important a player in this vivid novel driven by character and dialogue.
