"Becoming Agie" consists of two novellas about a M->F
transsexual scientist called Agie. In "Usher Syndrome" she opens
her heart to someone who would accept her for what she is. But her
destiny has other plans and Agie has to fight for her love in the
most challenging and unexpected way. In "Pumpkin Day" Agie tries to
solve a mysterious disappearance of a giant pumpkin into a cavern
beneath Slown City. Meanwhile, a lonely, well-to-do man called Jake
has to choose between courage and prejudice to pursue his love
interest. A lost notebook brings the two lives together. "Usher
Syndrome" was adapted for stage and performed at London's Barons
Court Theatre in 2010.
Having two admirers can be a real headache, especially when a tough
agronomy course at nowhere else but Imperial College comes on top
of that, not forgetting a part-time job at a florist's and a mother
desperate to marry you off. Have I mentioned a stalker who keeps
sending roses, and a Professor who thinks it's fine to bury you
under an extra pile of academic papers? Arrrgh Blake may be cute
and charming, but Terrence is no less attractive in his business
suits. What is a poor girl to do? Dating both of them is the right
thing if you listen to Trish and that's exactly the way Kurt
handles his men. Party after party, you have to deal with these
bouts of guilt mixed with hangovers while mulling over the same
dilemma over and over again - Blake or Terrence? Terrence or Blake?
Think, Chloe, think Mr Right & Mr Wrong is a wonderfully warm
and witty yet thoughtful romantic comedy, from which you will not
only pick up tips on the intricacies of London dating, but also
discover a few moral and ethical aspects of plant neurobiology. Not
so much chick lit as chic lit, offering sophistication alongside
Chloe's amusing complications.
