Lara Biyuts


Biography

Lara Biyuts (aka Lara Biuts, Larisa Biyuts), translator and writer from East Europe, author of gay themed novels and essays. My given name has several derivatives and diminutives that I use as a part of my pen-names, and my surname is another story, longer and more difficult: I used to simplify it, but in fact, it sounds and is initially spelled like the geographical name "Bijucie", and now, when on the Net, I seek my namesakes or learned persons, who know more of the geographical name and history of the region and want to share the info with me, the big fan of history, English language and linguistic in general, who is always in online search, placing reliance on Facebook, the busy place like no other. My novel La Lune Blanche is the first of the series. "The novel is the world where pleasures of life and pleasures of art are just norms."(Turner Maxwell Books)
My book A Handful of Blossoms is listed among the Best Gay Historical-2012
