Description
Meet Jame Bond, the world’s most glamorous secret agent, whose impeccable style is matched only by her taste for danger and beautiful women. In this uproarious parody of the iconic spy genre, Mabel Maney turns the 007 tropes on their head, delivering a high-stakes adventure fueled by wit, campy charm, and undeniable chemistry. When a mysterious villain threatens global stability, Jame finds herself navigating a labyrinth of international intrigue, all while sporting her signature golden bouffant and keeping her cool under pressure.
This story is a delightful genre-bending romp that refuses to take itself too seriously. Whether Jame is dodging bullets or falling for the sharp-witted femme fatales crossing her path, the narrative maintains a breathless pace that keeps you laughing and turning pages. Maney crafts a world where the action is fast, the stakes are high, and the romance is front and center. Perfect for readers who love a clever satire that celebrates lesbian romance with a wink and a nod, this book is pure, unadulterated fun. If you crave a spy thriller that prioritizes humor and heart over grit, Jame Bond is ready to save the day and steal your heart in the process.

Great Writer
Mabel Maney is a great writer, full of exuberance and wit. So many books these days are so glum, it's a pleasure to enter Maney's world and see the colors and sights jump off the page. I will definitely read any other books she has coming out!

How do you parody Las Vegas?
This is a wonderful, wonderful book. I read all of Mabel Maney's Nancy Drew parodies, and the James Bond parody before this one. This one is also James (Jane) Bond, but it brings us back to American sixties kitsch, which is Maney's strong suit. There's just so much to make fun of, from the hokey FBI schtick to the "Dorothy Duncan Defrost-Off" competition. The funniest bit is the scene where the spy girls are doing a make-over of the spoiled wife of Sammy Martini (read "famous dissolute lounge act whose name had to be changed in order to avoid legal, or mob, action") and you're not sure whether they are going to fix her hair or carry out a hit. But there's a ton of classic Americana in here. I never want to eat frozen food again. But I do want to visit "old" Las Vegas.
