Jeza Belle
Jeza Belle is a drag queen, comedian, producer, and award-winning author. Jeza's books include the longstanding hit, trashy cookbook, "The Harlot's Guide to Classy Cocktails," and the much-lauded, "Jeza's Jesus Juice: A Drag Queen's Christian Devotional," which broke boundaries—and the internet—as the first Christian book written by a drag queen. In addition, Jeza Belle is the author of "The Presence Collection"—four standalone historical fiction novels that feature LGBTQ+ characters in settings where their existence has been minimized or ignored. Book One, "Blood Rouge," and Book Two, "The Freedom to Love," were released to great reviews and numerous accolades. Book Three, "Abomination - The Story of David and Jonathan," is just out and is already receiving lots of positive responses! Jeza Belle is incredibly proud to have received some of the most prestigious writing awards for her work.
In addition to her books, Jeza has regularly written for numerous publications around the world, from The Huffington Post to The Advocate, and had her own column in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
It is clear from her romping comedic live performances everywhere from Broadway to Barcelona, to her highly charged political opinions, to her edge-of-the-seat writing, that Jeza is a force to be reckoned with across all forms of media.
