Where do you meet like-minded kinksters in Boston? It’s time for Pancakes & Pronouns at Randy’s!
***
Gael “Gay” López Cruz is a no-nonsense civil rights lawyer by day, strict but nurturing Dom by night. The only problem? Her partner is a switchy kitten, not the sub she longs to care for, and finding a second great love feels impossible.

Cincinnati "Cin" Santos' life is perfect, except something is missing. Cin and their partner, Gay, host a munch for non-cis kinksters, and maybe they'll meet a third there…

RJ Meritt is new to Boston, and is excited to finally explore everything a trans kinkster could dream of. His first stop is something called a “munch” at Randy’s Diner.

Be the Sea

by Clara Ward

In November 2039, marine scientist Wend Taylor heaves themself aboard a zero-emissions boat skippered by elusive nature photographer Viola Yang. Guided by instinct, ocean dreams, and a shared birthday in 1972, they barter stories for passage across the Pacific. Aljon, Viola’s younger cousin, keeps a watchful eye and an innovative galley. Story by story, the trio rethink secrets, flying dreams, and how they experience their own minds.

When they reach Hawaiʻi and prepare to part ways, opportunity and mystery pull them closer together. Both scientific and personal discoveries take shape as they join with ex-lovers, lost friends, and found family. Wend must navigate an ever-shifting future, complicated by bioengineered microbes and a plot to silence scientists, entangled with inexplicable dreams and a calling to Be the Sea.

Reviews:Dawn Vogel on History That Never Was wrote:

“An amazing sci-fi novel… An eclectic cast of queer and disabled characters… If you enjoy optimistic stories that take into account the realities of our world but present innovative solutions, you’ll enjoy Be the Sea.“

Alex Brown on Punk-Ass Book Jockey wrote:

“I’m not a big sci-fi person, but if more of it left me feeling as good as this one did, I’d call myself a huge fan.”
