Me, Myself and Someone Else

Book Three

If ‘all the world’s a stage’, then a star should never be bored!

Once Stephen Spear’s destiny as an actor seemed so assured – but after he was throttled to death on prime time television, his prospects seemed to shrivel up and die. Yet, true talent can’t be crushed. For if all the world is truly a stage, then why shouldn’t Stephen create and become a new character whenever he felt like it? Given the ghastly turn his personal circumstances had taken, it was a sheer relief to pretend to be someone else. Of course some sticklers might call this lying, but Stephen considered it the flourishing of his creative gift.

This imprudent artistic experiment takes Stephen to some surprising places. Though he does find himself back on stage, in the spotlight, and winning prizes – just not quite as he had imagined. While along for the ride, is the most unlikely new partner in crime.

This highly original conclusion to The Indignities e-book trilogy is a wicked, witty depiction of the gay Sydney lifestyle.

Praise for The Indignities:
