THE MAIN EVENT

Leslie Scott couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it...and, this one's a doozy. After years of blissful co-habbing, Leslie plans to ask the love of his life, Oliver Brown, for his hand in marriage. Leslie agrees to help with the Kissmas Drag Stravaganza at his dear friend's nightclub, Club Delish, which is also the site of the impending proposal. Every detail is planned with Swiss watch precision: enjoy the show, bring Oliver back to a private room, seduce him then pop the question. But, as with all things Leslie, his scheme goes tits up. Never one to shy away from drama and public displays of affection, this proposal turns out to be one for the books.

Excerpt:

Sass draped a hand along his unscarred cheek. “Darling, you can never have too much sass. And oh my. Madam. Such a gentleman.” Her fingers ruffled his hair as her eyes glinted
wickedly. “I’d love to put a little Sass in you and hear you scream my name.” She gestured to her groin and made a lewd gesture.
Oliver grinned, leaned back 2in his chair, spread his legs so his package was on full display and grabbed his crotch.
“Sweetheart, you couldn't handle this.” Nicky Starr drawled. “Many a good man and drag queen has tried and failed. Come back when you’ve been around the block a few more
times.”
The table exploded into laughter. The easy transition from Oliver Brown, reclusive website designer, to his alter ego Nicky Starr, man of porn moments and many films, rose to the surface like an easy second skin. Even Oliver was surprised to see him emerge after so long.

He blamed the imbibing of alcohol and mostly, nestled in his heart like a secret weapon, a certain wonderful, human being named Leslie Tiberius Scott.

About the Author

A writer, a coffee drinker, a Brit oozing sarcasm, with a passion for all things books.

I write steamy, heartfelt and often dark romance featuring unforgettable LGBTQ+ characters, found family, and love that refuses to behave. I'm also an award-winning screenwriter with ten awards for my screenplay Sight Unseen. I'm a member of the Society of Authors and the Authors Guild.

Interesting facts. My family and I were chased by a rhino on a dusty Kenyan road. I was once mistaken for a prostitute in Johannesburg (hilarious story). I got kicked out of a youth club for encouraging free thinking. Oh yes, and my aunt Delia was once engaged to Cliff Richard.

Summary: These three tales tell the story of Tharassas before the Tharassas Cycle, including the origin of the hencha queens, the ce’faine, and the colonization of the Highlands, essential companions for the four novels that make up the cycle: The Fallen Angel Charlie Fah, Cha’Fah to most of the world, has never fit in with the other citizens of Gully Town, thanks to his darker skin that sets him apart. But one day, an Angel arrives on a supply run from Earth, and what happens next sets Charlie on a new path that will turn his life upside down. The Last Run Sera is the last runner from Earth, bringing badly needed supplies to the Tharassas Colony across a twenty-five year gulf between the planets. Jas works on a hencha farm to make ends meet, harvesting berries from the semi-sentient plants. Neither one that knows their lives—and worlds—are about to change forever. The Emp Test Jey awakens to find himself in the care of a handsome stranger—a cheff from one of the mountain tribes. Afraid for his life, Jey has no choice but to let the man take care of him and his broken leg. Avain is on his Aud'ling—the coming-of-age test that requires him to spend a couple months away from his own people. The two of them will have to come to an understanding if they're going to help one another. The Last Run and The Emp Test have been published before in previous stand-alone editions, but The Fallen Angel is a new story written exclusively for this collection.
