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.

Can a game night bring these two together?

Miles O’Donnell was a comic artist in San Francisco. With multi-colored hair and eyes to match his sassy personality, Miles never had trouble getting attention. Unfortunately, most couldn’t satisfy what he really needed…

Shane Long was an engineer who just turned forty and wasn’t sure there was a partner out there for him when they all complained he was too big. Until a chance meeting and a game of Truth or Dare put a certain size queen in Shane’s path.

It might take more truth than they expected to share!

This was a super fun, sexy story about a rainbow haired twink and the muscular top who he falls for!

Miles is an unashamed size queen. He knows what he’s looking for, but he hasn’t found it yet. When he gets invited to a kinky game night, he thinks it’ll just be a bit of fun. Then he meets Shane…

Shane has struggled with partners in the past due to his size. It’s either a turn off, or the only turn on. When he meets Miles, he’s instantly attracted, but worried a guy half his size will run for the hills.

But when the party gets spicy and the two end up as the last two in the room, they have the chance to see if they’ll be the perfect fit 😆🍆


Truth or Dare, Cinderfella? was originally part of the Game Night: Truth or Dare anthology in 2024 as Size Queen. This edition is a standalone novella with an expanded story including a completely new epilogue, now connected to Frick's X Club series!

The Shoreless Sea

Liminal Sky - Ariadne Cycle Book 3

by J. Scott Coatsworth

As the epic trilogy hurtles toward its conclusion, the fight for the future isn’t over yet. It could lead to a new beginning, or it might spell the end for the last vestiges of humankind.

The generation ship Forever has left Earth behind, but a piece of the old civilization lives on in the Inthworld—a virtual realm that retains memories of Earth's technological wonders and vices. A being named Lilith leads the uprising, and if she succeeds in setting its inhabitants free, they could destroy Forever.

But during the generation ship's decades-long voyage, humanity has evolved. Liminals with the ability to connect with the world mind and the Inthworld provide a glimmer of hope. They'll have to face not only Lilith’s minions, but also the mistrust of their own kind and persecution from a new government as homotypicals continue to fear what they can't understand.

The invasion must be stopped, the Inthworld must be healed, and the people of Forever must let go of their past and embrace what they’re meant to become.

Stories from the Dragon Realm

Reviews:Bogi Takács wrote:

“Ava Kelly’s book of bilingual Romanian/English fairytales is both necessary and a delight. While queer writing is being suppressed in many countries of Eastern Europe, this volume offers comfort and consolation with queer-normative stories that reach back to the familiar themes of childhood, and provide renewed hope. Mages, princesses, and above all, dragons populate the world of Alia Terra, richly illustrated by Matthew Spencer. Characters go against expectations, and learn to live true to themselves: curses turn into blessings, flying creatures find a new beginning underwater, and even love acquires new meaning. From aromanticism to nonbinary gender, LGBTQIA+ themes in Alia Terra are always portrayed with a gentle kindness that we need in our lives, and an eager, resilient confidence. Read the stories and share them with your loved ones!”

“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.“
