edit data

Gemma had a hard time figuring out what she wanted to be when she grew up. She worked as a film and television actress, a teddy bear importer, a department store administrator, a preschool teacher, a temporary tattoo artist, and a 900 number psychic, before finally selling her first book, Spying in High Heels, in 2005 and deciding to be a writer.

Since then, Gemma has written several mystery novels and been the recipient of numerous awards, including a National Reader's Choice award and three RITA nominations. Her books have hit both the USA Today and the New York Times Bestseller lists.

Gemma now makes her home in the San Francisco Bay area where she is hard at work on her next book.

Gemma Halliday answered Prathiba A's question: are there any more sherlock holmes series books?? Kelly and I would love to do more books in this series! I've had to take a little time off writing for some family issues the past couple of years, but I hope to be back at it soon. :)

Gemma Halliday answered Jenn's question: Hey Gemma! Any plans for more High Heels audio books? I listen to them on my commute to work. Love the adventures of Maddie and gang! Thanks! I would love to! It's up to my audiobook publisher, Audible, at the moment though. If you write to Audible and let them you you want more, it may help! :) I'm so glad you're enjoying them!!
