Books with author Lyall Russell

Mem’s cousin Linda is extraordinary and a grand storyteller. Every story comes alive and Mem soon learns a lesson in friendship and how things are not always what they appear to be. Hare remembered when the fairy house circus first came to the fields near their home, all those years ago. He remembered the first time the magician walked out of the fairy house door and immediately grew into a giant human. He remembered how the magician sweet-talked him into working with him, and how Hare would be very well paid with carrots, lettuce, and cabbage, and would live in style with his own servant to feed and care for him. He remembered the magician played on Hares ego telling him audiences all over the world who would love him. Hare remembered also how Badger warned him to be wary of sweet-talking humans. Especially those who promise you quick and easy wealth and comfort, those quick-rick schemers.

When office worker, Matt Storm, meets the gorgeous Tom Sheppard, love turns his world upside-down. Before he knows it, Matt has quit his dead-end position at his sales company, opened a toy shop and rented a flat to share with the new love of his life. No more living with his parents, no more sharing a bathroom with his sister and no more nights spent in a lonely bed. Sure, Tom can be a bit grumpy sometimes, but he definitely cares about Matt more than anyone else in the world. The first night after they move in together, Tom hits Matt. Over the coming days, the facade of Matt’s perfect boyfriend falls away a little more with every insult, blow and swear word. The biggest slap of all comes when Matt finds secret messages hidden on Tom’s phone, which reveal that Tom is cheating on him. Matt is sure things will get better, but every day only brings more heartache and pain in the form of violence, betrayal, sexual abuse and deceit from the man Matt fell in love with. With his perfect life crumbling to pieces around him, Matt must face two choices which seem equally devastating: losing Tom, or losing himself.
