A romantic comedy about an English lad, an American lass, a rare book worth millions, and a lonely guard panther...not your typical day in LA.
After his father died in a mugging, Adam Verlain used his love of books to hide from the world as a rare book cataloguer for a small university in London. But then that university acquired a newly discovered 1865 edition of "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and wanted him to fly to Los Angeles to pick it up. Adam hated even the thought of leaving his careful, cloistered world and only agreed to go when pressured...and told the book would be brought to him at the airport so he could return home on the very next flight. However, things began going wrong from the first moment...and then he met Casey Blanchard, the amazingly beautiful movie star who inherited the book. But she won't let him have it unless he first accompanies her to a premier of her latest film for reasons that seem...well, quite odd. Adam has to agree, because if he does not get the book, he'll lose a job he loves...even as his world crashes into a chaotic mix of a too-cool henna artist, her demon toddler, her fan-boy husband, a protective mother, a drill-sergeant stylist, very questionable edibles, two mistaken identities, hysterical fans, Hollywood royalty, their courtiers and minions, maniacal LA drivers, an outlandish party, a drowning pool in the middle of Beverly Hills, a love-struck panther on a homemade veldt, 50 cans of salmon, a bubble bath...and the terrifying realization he's falling in love with a woman every man in the world desires and whom he knows he cannot trust...and could never love him back. Or could she?
Über den Autor / die Autorin
Kyle Michel Sullivan is a writer and self-involved artist out to change the world until it changes him, as has already happened in far too many ways. He used to write screenplays, but now he has written books that range from sunshine and light (David Martin) to cold and dark (How To Rape A Straight Guy, which has been banned a couple of times) to flat out crazy (The Lyons' Den) to mainstream (The Alice '65) to a tale of tragedy and redemption (Bobby Carapisi). He has ventured into SF-Horror-Suspense with The Beast in the Nothing Room, done gay revenge in Porno Manifesto and worked up a vicious female revenge thriller in Carli's Kills, then taken Capitalism to its logical extreme in Hunter. He has also written murder mysteries (Rape in Holding Cell 6, The Vanishing of Owen Taylor, and Underground Guy), and is working on an erotic gay vampire series titled Blood Angel, that will be in several e-book parts.Most of his novels are gay-oriented but not all. Many contain intense sexual content that fits the erotica category, but not all. Some are even romantic and tender. As he says, he's written what he's written, and each one of those books got him one step closer to this point. He tries to build characters as vivid and real as possible and has a lot of fun doing it mixed with angst, anger, and amazement ... but that's the lot of a writer.
