Talk: A Gay Romance From Conception to publication to moderate success
Thursday 11 November 20:30 – 21:30
Fringe Club Underground, Hong Kong
Join Brian Lancaster, author of gay romantic fiction in multiple genres, as he shares his most successful novel and his writing journey. Brian conceived the story for Companion Required while living in Hong Kong and travelling extensively around Asia Pacific. In a throwback to pre-pandemic times, the story incorporates scenes from locations including Koh Samui, Okinawa, Bali and Singapore, as romance unfolds between CEO Kennedy Grey and the man he hires as a holiday companion, supposedly straight Kieran West.
Meet the Author
BRIAN LANCASTER is an author of gay romantic fiction in multiple genres, including contemporary, paranormal, fantasy, crime, mystery, and anything else his elusive muse provides.
Brian once believed that writing gay romantic fiction would be easy and cathartic. He also believed in Santa Claus and the Jolly Green Giant. At least he still has fantasies about those two.

At the reading of his father’s will, Leonard learns he has inherited a Welsh farmhouse, a property he knew nothing about. After a chance meeting, he employs Adrian to help inspect the building. But tragedy and mystery surround the house and very soon, as their friendship intensifies, they start to unearth things others would prefer remained buried.
