A Centaur’s Solstice Wish – Siobhan Muir
When making wishes on the Hunter’s star… It will take more than wishes to improve Sedgewick Icetrotter’s Solstice. After being sent to the infirmary, again, for dislocating his shoulder while stringing his bow, he figures he’s got a snowball’s chance in hell to impress the centaur he loves. Until Corporal Ronin Creekjumper brings in two injured centaurs suffering from unusual insect bites, and Sedgewick knows how to treat them. Ronin can’t believe his good luck when Sedgewick saves his men. It also gives him a chance to do more than light candles for his injured friend. Ronin takes the chance and invites Sedgewick to spend the Solistice holiday together. Just the two of them. And a pack of hungry dire wolves who’d like to put Sedgewick on the menu. Who says Solstice can’t be exciting?
A Hennigan Family Holiday: Christmas – Andrew McQuinn
A whimsical holiday tale bringing family together for the magic of Christmas. A Hennigan Family Holiday: Christmas focuses on the impact death can have on a family and time needed to heal the wounds felt from loss. This is the first part in a novella trilogy. Beautifully illustrated by the talented Clayton Stephens, this story will introduce you to a budding gay romance, the crumbling of a once solid relationship, the effects of grief, how time heals, the importance of love, and the whimsical holiday magic we feel this time of year. Life has a funny way of giving you the things you want most all while taking it away at a moment’s notice. Mr. Hennigan was no stranger to such events. In his years he fell in love with the woman he would go on to marry, saw the births of his three children, the deaths of his parents, and over eighty years of experiences. Now into his golden years, nothing could have prepared him for the loss of his wife. She was the glue which held the family together. Her absence broke the family apart. Told through multiple points of view, A Hennigan Family Holiday: Christmas reunites the Hennigans two years later for the magical holiday season, and the whimsical tale unfolding around them. Come celebrate the holiday with the Hennigans.
The Vitruvian Mask – BJ Sikes
1881: The electric lights of Paris have been extinguished. The Naturalist revolution is over. Adelaide was on the losing side. Once the Royal Scientist Doctor for the now-dead cyborg monarchs of France, she’s now a fugitive, hiding from the new king’s Police Sécrète. Pregnant and alone, she seeks refuge in a Parisian hospital but things have changed there too. What was once a cathedral of Science is now a bastion of ignorance and superstition. The battlefield veterans whose Augmented prosthetics she once created are shunned by the new regime and come to the hospital for her help. But her nemesis, the father of her child, has returned to France and threatens to reveal her illegal activities to the authorities. Can Adelaide repair her Augmented patients without losing her freedom … or her life?
All Of Our Undiscovered Countries – J S Candela
A Realm awash in whispers and shadow, stitched together by memory and longing. A Tapestry that connects and binds all things, thrumming with the echoes of people and worlds long lost. Jem Goodwin never intended to surrender himself to the all‑knowing Four. He crossed into The Realm desperate to find and reclaim his beloved Ben. But The Realm is in chaos, the ancient order fracturing. Darkness may have found a foothold, and The Four, once perfectly neutral vessels, have begun to remember who and what they once were. As Jem navigates The Realm, he discovers that his love for Ben is the only force The Four cannot predict, contain, or erase. Love is the one constant that binds every world, every life, every possibility — and it may be the only force powerful enough to defy The First One itself. A queer liminal fantasy about love, devotion, grief, and the dangerous magic that binds and shapes the spaces between hearts — and entire worlds. All of Our Undiscovered Countries is the continuation of Every Mistake A Forfeit. The trilogy will conclude with Redeemers of The Realm.
