The Queen and her handmaiden escape from the King's ruthless fist. A girl engaged to an older man runs to the mystical forest for comfort and is surprised to find open arms. Medusa and the women of the world protect one another from the reach of Man. Achilles and Patroclus struggle to balance their loves and their duties, as well as learn to live without one another.Tears will be shed. Whether it's by the characters or you, dear reader, is yet to be discovered. Swans mate for life. But ducks don't. Most love stories aren't the stuff of swan songs. More like duck calls. Grating, squawking duck calls. Romance hurts, so here's a bunch of happy and sad endings to cry over. Oh, and everything's Sapphic. Everything! (Except for the bit about Achilles and Patroclus: ) From Nightingale Knights to The Queen and the Witch, women express their love in worlds different from our own, worlds of acceptance and peace. Here, there's calm, at least for a moment. This is an excerpt from the collection: "A World With No Words" My love, touch will be our language, dance our song, lips prayers in the moonlight. I worship you, goddess of night, my Selene, my Luna. Oh, but now no name can encapsulate a soul. Lo! the fetters are gone. All is free, spoken in teardrops and heartbeats and lips curling in a grin.
