  The Tony Award-nominated writer of The Tale of the Allergist's Wife and the long-running hit Off-Broadway play Vampire Lesbians of Sodom, and a Sundance Festival award winner, Charles Busch has created a unique place in the entertainment world as a playwright, LGBT icon, drag actor, director, and cabaret performer, with his extraordinary gift for both connecting with and channeling the leading ladies of show business. 
   
   
   
  Charles writes how ever since his mother's death when he was seven, he has sought out surrogate mothers in his life. In his teens, Charles moved to Manhattan to live with his Auntie Mame-like Aunt Lil, who encouraged Charles's talents and dreams, and eventually he discovered his gifts for writing plays and performing as a male actress. 
   
   
   
  Busch also shares his colorful and sometimes outlandish interactions with film and theatrical luminaries, including Joan Rivers, Angela Lansbury, Rosie O’Donnell, Claudette Colbert, Valerie Harper, Kim Novak, and many others. 
   
   
   
  Full of both humor and heart, Leading Lady is for fans of entertainment books as well as anyone who enjoys real-life stories of artists who break the mold, ditch the boundaries, and find their own unique way to sparkle.

  He’s my sworn enemy. And my heart's desire. 
  Loki 
  I left my pack and my brothers to get revenge on the werewolf that murdered my father. My plan was to kill his son, drawing his fury. Then I could get the job done once and for all. 
  But when fang meets fang during our fight, the earth opens up and swallows us both. Now I’m stuck in a never ending cave system with the son of my most hated enemy. And the worst part? I’m certain he’s my mate. 
  If I cross this line, there’s no coming back. But if I don’t, how will I live with myself? 
  Heimdall 
  My father is being hunted and so am I. We’re just trying to save our kind, that’s what I’ve been brought up to believe. I have to protect him at any cost for the future of our pack. 
  When my father turns his back on me, both Loki and I tumble into a cave system. Hurt, alone, and betrayed by my own father, Loki is the only comfort I have. I can feel the bond between us and despite all my upbringing, I know I can trust him. Now if he’d just let me through that bristly exterior of his. 
  Despite it all, loving Loki comes easily for me. But we’ll both have to betray our families if we want to be together.

  Forever-young Oscar, in a present-day prison cell, tells a story from his early life. As Diver, one of the first Homo sapiens, he's the sole survivor of our people when our original home, Lake Makgadikgadi, dries up. Searching in vain for others, desperately lonely, he encounters a stranger with burning eyes, whose uncommon beauty calms Diver's fears.
  Fiery-eyed Geb is a godlike being allied with animals. At first, he's charged with orchestrating Diver's death. Nothing personal, he likes Diver, but duty comes first. For the moment, Diver is the last of our kind, and Geb is tasked with keeping it that way. 
  Before Diver outwits the prehistoric animals sent to kill him, Geb shows him their lives through the animals' own eyes. When he defeats the animals, Diver regrets their loss. This opens Geb's heart. He works to earn Diver's trust, a difficult task considering their history and Geb's spiritual constraints. 
  Courting Diver, Geb forsakes his duty and makes a big sacrifice to prove his love. Diver learns the secret of how our people might resurface, and Geb promises to always be with him. 
  In his cell, Oscar suffers a flawed romance, gives his blood for experiments, and meets a strange computer program, John Doe, struggling with amnesia. This AI being loves Oscar's story of two ancient enemies becoming lovers and saving humanity. When John remembers his lost identity, he helps Oscar escape.
