en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 noi 2014

After Randy Camster failed at marriage, his life centered around work, TV sports, and listening to his friend Jake complain about how Randy's lack of a sex life will be the downfall of mankind. Not true! Well, not totally. Randy has just never understood the fascination with sex... until ladyboy performer Lalana Dulyarat shimmies into his world via an Internet ad for Thailand tourism. After that, it doesn't take much for Jake to convince Randy to take a Bang Cock vacation. Finding an adorable little imp named Boon-nam wasn't on Jake O'Neil's itinerary. Gay, straight, and undecided, Jake has had 'em all, but never a virgin aching to explore her new body after successful affirmation surgery. Talk about pressure. And what's with everyone warning him not to break Boon-nam's heart? His is the one in danger. Jake's openness about sexuality has always made Randy wonder if he is too focused on gender. Lalana is even more beautiful in real life than he'd hoped, but she's keeping her ""male parts"" and has no intention of ever having surgery. Does it really matter? A return ticket to reality awaits. The clock is ticking on the two couples' hopes for love, unless they can find a way to span gender, culture, and half a world.

Notă biografică

Z.Allora never expected to share her words with anyone, but things don't always work out as planned. Growing up in Upstate NY, she was a tomboy: playing basketball in the park, twirling a rifle in color guard, but composing stories filled with angst in secret. Z.didn't always believe in romance, although before giving up on happily ever after completely, she took out a personal ad in a college newspaper. On October20, 1987, at 5:08 PM, she found what she didn't think existed, and married her best friend five years later. A bit of an overachiever, Z.'s earned three bachelor's degrees (Psychology, English, and Philosophy) and a master's degree in Psychology. She loved enhancing thequality of life of people in her residential and day programs, but her love's job swept Z. overseas to Singapore, Israel, and China. While living in China, she discovered M/M romance. The magic of the genre gave her new insights about herself and those around her. When she saw protests in Malaysia by parents who genuinely believed watching a singer could make their children gay, the ignorance was too staggering to ignore. No longer content to keep her words to herself, she published her stories hoping to add another voice to foster understanding and to promote equality. Z.believes each of us is wonderfully unique and deserving of a happily everafter. Regardless where we are in the infinite spectrum of gender identity, orientation, or sexuality, our differences and similarities should be both respected and celebrated. Even though Z. identifies as nonbinary of the transmasculine variety, Z. has kept her original pronouns and presents as female (according to the current gender constructs). One of the biggest goals of her writing is to validate everyone's individual uniqueness. There's an infinite spectrum within each stripe of the rainbow and Z. wants to explore them all. However, Z. will never apologize for having too much yaoified smexy goodness in her books. Z. teases that plot is simply the words between the sex scenes (though that's a bit of an exaggeration). Sex is one of our most important and basic forms of communication, and she feels it's a vital part of understanding her characters. Z. Allora truly believes this rainbow romance is changing hearts and minds, and will continue to speak out for love for all of us.
