About this author

Xara X. Xanakas decided years ago to embrace her weirdness. A friend first described her that way to the man who’s been her husband for over twenty years. That formula fits her, and she figures if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Being Texan, her crush on cowboys comes natural, but the techie in her loves to show nerds a good time. She relishes all things different, and brings saucy style to her writing. Whether wrangling a wayward ranch hand or adding another critter to her were-menagerie, Xara strives to make the outlandish appealing. She’ll make you quirk a brow and snort with laughter, and that’s all right by her. Xara believes that unique is best and happily ever after is the icing on the cookies.

That's two dozen, for those keeping track.

That's the number of hours in a day.

That's 99.9% pure, if you're talking about gold.


That's nearly two and a half decades I've spent with you, Spouse.

That's not nearly enough. That's not even halfway to enough. That's just the start.

Monkey Wrench (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Jan 23, 2012 01:33pm
Description: Police officer Aaron Thorne has a lot of irons in the fire. He’s on a career-building case, investigating a new party drug that induces shifts in werecreatures, and his friend is the prime suspect. A literal silver fox has captured his attention outside of work, and just as things are going smoothly for him, a tall, dark, and scowly bobcat takes his breath away. It’s a good thing he’s a spider monkey. He’s going to need all the energy he can get to keep from going bananas when his world crashes down around him. Were Menagerie - Book 2
Bennie's Wish (Gay & Lesbian)
1 chapters   —   updated Sep 30, 2011 07:03pm
Description: The welcome mat in front of his door has more of a backbone than Aloysius “Ally” Theodisius. For years Ally has suspected that his friends have been humoring him to keep in his good graces—and his wallet. When a No Pants Day breakfast ends with Ally feeling humiliated once again, he has to dig deep to find the courage to finally take a stand. Benedict “Bennie” Arnold’s life is full of traitors. After he’s betrayed by the latest in the long line of sycophants longing for a way into the spotlight, a trip to his friend’s hometown seems like a good idea. When Bennie runs into Ally, the cute writer with the adorable dimples, he realizes that Ally is in dire need of a real friend. He’s more than happy to lend a hand, but going commando on No Pants Day almost puts an end to his plans before they can even begin. He’ll have to use his best assets to convince Ally that he’s for real if he has any hope of ever getting his Wish.
