It’s not her story to tell. Or is it?

Anyone can write a bestseller. Here’s how:

GO GAY

It’s been seven years since Mallory shot to fame as a literary sensation. But after years of struggling with writer’s block, she’s desperate to resurrect her career before it spirals into obscurity. She needs inspiration to strike – and fast.

GO SAD

Enter Leo: a young struggling addict sleeping under bridges and trading sex for survival. He’s vulnerable. He’s enigmatic. He’s exactly what Mallory has been looking for.

GO DARK

Mallory needs Leo if she wants another bestseller. Authenticity sells, and there’s nothing more authentic than real life. She’s the perfect person to tell Leo’s story. Gay, sad, dark – just what the world needs right now. But as dark secrets come to light that threaten to unravel more than just her career, Mallory must decide: just how far will she go to pen the perfect story?

Fruit Fly by Josh Silver explores these compelling themes with depth and intrigue, inviting readers to question the ethics of storytelling and the cost of ambition.
