Grey for his childhood, brown for her existence, gold for their love, red for their sexual exploits, black for what was to follow.

This is a searing hot, yet freezing cold, true-life adult novel. It's an intense, yet beautiful portrayal of sensitivity and rawness, humour and sadness, hope and fear, passion and paralysis-an exquisite golden fairy tale, and a sickening black nightmare.

Leon's early life was a prism of adventurous hues, but upon meeting Lauren, a sublime chemical fusion took place, leading to a breathtaking explosion of colours. Both walking a relatively routine path of middle age life, Leon and Lauren were unprepared for the deep lust and the wretched angst their connection would elicit. Years of conformity and pent up desires would serve as a recipe for unbelievable fervour, heart-pounding situations, and the playing out of their outlandish fantasies-but darker forces were also at play, forces that were eventually to lead to a shattering and mystifying end game.

In his memoir Colours, Leon holds nothing back. Rather, a singular statement defines an unparalleled, ultra-honest story too powerful to go unwritten or unread.

"I offer you my soul, please take care of it."
