From the blurb for book two The Curly Wurley Sex Machine:
Johnathon Marvel had it all. The youngest billionaire in the world according to Time Magazine but Johnathon's world collapses and his various business ventures go belly up. Jonathon does what any sane person would do in his situation, he makes a run for it. The police and the taxation department are hot on his trail. Jonathon Marvel, alias Kalvin Karson, flees to China where he meets the frenetic Frenella, a British tourist and language expert, with curves that would make any man's head turn. She is just the beginning in a long line of affaires d'amour until...                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               
She was short, but anybody under six foot is short to me and she had curly blond hair. When I say she had curly blond hair, she had acres and acres of curly blond hair, she was an adventure in hair, an Everest of hair. She also had an infectious smile and her teeth were good. I mention her teeth because she smiled so much that I couldn't help noticing them. She dressed well, not too flashy, she didn't really need clothes under all that hair. Around her neck she wore a pendant, I picked it up and looked at it, it was of interlocking fish, a bit like yin and yang.
'Pisces,' she said, 'my star sign.'
'What does that say about you?' I said.
'We Pisces people are friendly, sensitive, loyal and spiritual, we take on the troubles of the world and feel them deeply and we...well I can help you sort out your problems.'
'I'm right, I don't actually have any problems,' Isaid.
'You do,' she said, 'I can tell by your eyes. Do you want to dance?'
'What's your name? I said.
'The Curly Wurley Sex Machine,' she replied in that velvety voice.
'You're joshing me,' I said.
She smiled, 'Joshing?' 
'Joking.'

'Agreat romantic travel adventure with humor as well, what more can you want? The story takes us on a slow boat through China and on the Trans Siberian Rail way through Russia and then on to England were Johnathon Marvel alias Kalvin Karson meets the Curly Wurley Sex machine in a seedy bar in the old English industrial city of Leeds. The television vet James Herriot's Yorkshire was never like this, I couldn't put it down.'
