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.
