About this ebook
There I was, walking down the street, minding my own business when WHAM, I was catapulted headlong into the strange, slightly scary, and utterly intoxicating world of fashion and male supermodels. With very little choice but to take a deep breath and embrace it all, I was definitely expecting the unexpected ... but meeting the man of my dreams was never on the cards. The question was, could a lowly business analyst-cum-stylist such as myself and one of these designer-clad gods make a go of things?
A whirlwind romance; yes, it was that alright. At times, it felt like I was being eaten alive by cannibals. At times, I could only see the real world through a soft-focus lens. But there were times when reality cut like a knife, and times when I wished I had politely declined the invitation to step aboard the cloud destined for paradise.
I pricked myself many times to make sure that I was not dreaming; apparently, I wasn't.
A fantastical tornado of a romance; a celebration of love with an enduring message - follow your dreams to the end of the rainbow.
A Grand Affaire was the first ever romance that I wrote - one of the first pieces of fiction that I committed to paper. I had no clue what to expect. Fortunately, my characters did an amazing job of guiding me through this labyrinth. Unusually, the story was not triggered by a line of dialogue as so many are. I was recovering from a breakup and simply asked the question - what if? and I wrote myself out of the heartbreak.
I am always very happy to receive your feedback. Please visit my website for updates on the next gay romantic story or crime thriller which I am working on.
Thank you,

I'm English by birth, from the Isle of Wight, living in Newport, spending part of the year in France, in the stunningly beautiful department of Haute-Saône in the Franche Comté region. It is heavily forested and very tranquil but the winters are pretty harsh and my home is 820 metres above sea level so I get plenty of snow. I am also spending increasing amounts of time in the USA, co-managing The Carter Seagrove Project LLC - an independent publishing house, incorporated in the State of Indiana. I will be 50 years old in 2015. I only started writing in 2009, proving, I suppose, that it is never too late. I didn't think about self-publishing until late 2012, now, more than two years later, I'm even more energized by the process than ever before. I'm a qualified English teacher, specializing in teaching English as a second language (TEFL), though I don't do much of that now. In the distant past, I taught software skills. In the very distant past, I was a project manager on big IT projects and at the very beginning of my career, I was an Internal Auditor. I have degrees in "Internal Auditing", "Computer Auditing" and "Project Management". I'm studying for my degree in Sustainable Development at the moment. Renewable energy is what really interests me and I generate my own power at home via a solar panel. I'm a member of The Society of Authors, The Society for Editors and Proofreaders, and The Independent Author Network. I grow some of my own food, and from Easter to the end of October, I'm outside for the largest part of the day, tending the garden. I write in the evening and during the winter when there is very little else to do. I have no great philosophy except "energy follows intention" and "honour your gifts". These two principles keep me sane, very happy and exceedingly busy! I am always very happy to receive your feedback. If you wish to contact me directly, please email me at: alpmortal@hotmail.com. Visit the website, alpmortal.weebly.com, for updates on the next gay romantic story or crime thriller which I am working on. Together with Chambers Mars, I am half of Carter Seagrove, author of Dust Jacket and The Inspector Fenchurch Mysteries. Me (Alp Mortal), Chambers Mars and Shannon M. Kirkland are The Carter Seagrove Project LLC - an independent book publisher.
