This may well be Cherie Priest's novel Bloodshot (not to be confused with the V.I. Warshawski novel or the Valiant Comics character of the same name). That may also be the same as my previous query involving coffee.
An Urban Fantasy novel I read a few years ago (the book is not less than 2 years old and not more than about 15). The protagonist is female, and I think casts spells or something. One of her allies, who she meets early on (and maybe ends up living with) is a drag queen who turns out to be a)straight and b) a military veteran of some type, possibly a Marine. He has no magic/supernatural stuff going on, he's just a Marine turned drag performer. I'm pretty sure the book is set on the West Coast of the U.S., possibly in Seattle.
