Marquesate is a British author, who has made her home in Scotland. She has been associated with the British Forces for many years, and specialises in brutally realistic contemporary gay military fiction. Marquesate's fiction always carries a punch with its distinctive style, its emphasis on plot, and deeply explored characters.

Using the insider knowledge of the 'bowels' of the military machinery and the insight into the soldiers' minds and modes of functioning, Marquesate creates realistic settings, situations and characters who are simultaneously down to earth and larger than life. Those men are strong, aggressive, tough and independent, and it is their determination and truthfulness to themselves and their comrades in arms, that becomes their saviour and their downfall.

These soldiers are grounded in their military context and thrown into a maelstrom of duty, comradeship, hostility, courage, loyalty and lust, to emerge scarred, battle-hardened and touched at the very core of their selves - by another man, another soldier, an enemy, a friend, a foe or an ally.

'Never the twain shall meet', is not a dictum Marquesate adheres to. Those men do meet despite cross fire, friendly fire and violence, through the ranks, and across all the frontlines dividing their world. Enemy mine and brothers in arms.

Steeped in lust, no-holds barred, often sweaty, hard, brutal and aggressive, Marquesate writes love stories in a military setting. They are gritty, tough and gripping, often full of pain and hatred, but also full of courage, loyalty and determination. Above all, there is always love. In all its manifestations and however impossible it may seem.
