Drifting in the post-Christmas, pre-New Year’s no man’s land

A Very Phoenix Christmas: A Phoenix Club novella (The Phoenix Club) by CJ Bishop

A Swan for Christmas: A Winter Romance by M.M. Wilde

December 27, 2025 by carmelpie Leave a Comment

*The thumbnail pic is not my cat. Instead, it is a pic of me as a cat in my preferred location and outfit of choice. Time has lost all meaning. I float in a never-ending circuit of sofa, kitchen, laundry closet. Meals are made from remnants of other meals; a bizarre hot and cold buffet of Christmas leftovers and the occasional fruit and veg to ward off scurvy.

*slaps roof* This Thing Can Fit So Much Gay Sex In It

Mistakes Were Made by Meryl Wilsner

November 30, 2022 by Abi 1 Comment

    This sounds amazing. I saw some discussion today about contemporary monster romance being the descendant of fairy tales.
