On October 1, Joe Cosentino will release Drama King, the 18th and last Nicky and Noah mystery novel.
"I decided to use my knowledge of theatre and academia to write the eighteen novels in my Nicky and Noah mysteries series. It's a gay cozy mystery comedy series, meaning the setting is warm and cozy, the clues and murders (and laughs) come fast and furious, and there are enough plot twists and turns and a surprise ending to keep the pages turning (as Nicky would say) "faster than a diva heading to the stage for a second curtain call."'
At the center is the touching relationship between Treemeadow College Professor of Play Directing Nicky Abbondanza and Associate Professor of Acting Noah Oliver. They go from courting to marrying to adopting a child, while head over heels in love with each other-and always putting on a show.
The premiere novel, Drama Queen, where Nicky and Noah stage their version of Jack the Ripper, was voted Divine Magazine's Readers' Choice Award for Favorite LGBT Mystery, Humorous, and Contemporary Novel of the Year! Subsequent novels won many Favorite Book of the Month awards as Nicky and Noah staged numerous plays, musicals, a dance show, a luau show, a runway show, and even a bodybuilding competition: Drama Muscle, Drama Cruise, Drama Luau, Drama Detective, Drama Fraternity, Drama Castle, Drama Dance, Drama Faerie, Drama Runway, Drama Christmas, Drama Pan, Drama TV, Drama Oz, Drama Prince, Drama Merry, Drama Daddy (novelette).
Cosentino stated: "As a kid, I loved listening to Broadway show albums around the clock-and I still do! Not surprisingly, one of my favorites was Camelot, the story of Merlin the magician's student King Arthur, Arthur's favorite knight Lancelot, and Guinevere, the woman who came between them. So when it came time to write the eighteenth (and last) Nicky and Noah mystery novel, I decided Nicky, Noah, and their theatrical troupe at Treemeadow College would stage an original musical production of the King Arthur legends entitled, Knights in Tights. So head to the magical land of Camelot for murder, mayhem, and of course a happy ending (no pun intended)!"

It's summertime at Treemeadow College and the living isn't easy. Theatre professors and adorable couple Nicky, Noah, and their thespian troupe stage an original musical adaptation of the King Arthur Legends entitled, Knights in Tights. Queens blissfully shout, "King me," until critics drop like their scathing reviews. Once again in this novel, our favorite thespians will need to use their drama skills to catch the killer before their crowns spin-around their throats. You will be applauding and shouting Bravo for Joe Cosentino's fast-paced, side-splittingly funny, edge-of-your-seat entertaining eighteenth mystery in this delightful series. It's a royal riot! So hurry to your seat. The stage lights are coming up in Camelot on a king on the down low who pulls his long sword out of a tight stone, knights of the roundtable craving a circle jerk, a half-fairy son with a daddy complex, more men in tights than in a Promise Keepers' convention, and murder!
