    Summary

    After the English teacher had called, Carol had nearly ripped apart one of the boxes that had contained new copies of books. Not only was Alice acting out at home, she was now also doing it at school. Her daughter was becoming someone unguided, a loose cannon that couldn’t be steered into a right direction. God, Manny had even looked at her in disbelief when she ended the call and wished her good luck once she’d left.

    Alice stopped at an open door of a classroom where a brunette was sitting behind the desk, vigorously typing on the laptop. It wasn’t until Alice knocked on the door with the deepest sigh, when the woman looked up.

    Carol couldn’t believe her eyes. The very same woman she hadn’t stopped thinking about from the very first time she saw her at the café, was her daughter’s English teacher.

    Summary

    “I want to have a baby,” Zosia suddenly blurts out, causing Carol to look up from her MacBook.

    “With me?”

    “What?”

    The question escapes Zosia before she has time to think about it, and Carol’s mouth twitches.

    It’s the beginning of a grin, and Zosia knows immediately that she has made a mistake.

    “No,” she says, already sounding exasperated. “Not—”

    Carol’s grin widens.

    Summary

    When the Muse of Song decides to try and tell a story...

    Carol Sturka writes the Nashville hits that blare out of car stereos on every country road, but her soul is in the songs she plays to nobody on Monday nights. Zosia, a young hungry singer feeling boxed in by the Nashville machine, hears Carol sing one of those songs in a crappy bar and makes it her mission to find Carol and record that song. Helen, an emotionally guarded studio owner who has a painful history with Carol, against her better judgment, decides to make it happen.

    They find resolution, healing, love and the creative partnership of a lifetime. And a busybody Muse who will give you, dear reader, all of the tea.

    Summary

    “Drink this, and I’ll consider serving you again,” says Legs, and there’s something in her accent.

    “What are you, my mother?” She scoffs, already lifting the bottle up to take a sip.

    “Why, do you want me to be? We just met. It’s a little early for a mommy kink."

    Summary

    “I want you as my graduate advisor.”

    “What?” Carol’s hands fell from her bag. “You – what?”

    Zosia smiled, teeth on display now. “I want you as my advisor next year. Like I said, I have been waiting for this class the entirety of my time here. I don't want anyone else claiming you before I do.”


    So, Carol was fine. She was fine and the fact that she repeated that constantly, a mantra in her head, probably should have raised some red flags, but it didn't.

    She published her books under her pen name, taught at the university, and did not let an unhinged graduate student blow up her life. Just for the fuck of it, it seemed like.

    Summary

    There was a cardboard box sitting on her office chair when she arrived. A yellow Post-It was stuck to the top, bearing the words “help yourself” in sloppy handwriting that Carol immediately recognized. She knew what she would find inside, but she opened the box anyway. Sure enough—it was a collection of business casual attire, clearly pre-owned but seemingly devoid of holes and stains.

    Helen Umstead can go fuck herself, Carol thought.

    or;

    The story of Carol and Helen.

    Summary

    The knocking stopped, they were waiting for her. She went on the tips of her toes to peak into the peephole even though she knew who it was. She cautiously unlocked the door, not before inserting the chain in place.

    Their threat level was unclear, like a tipping scale that couldn’t balance.

    The woman from her dream/the window stood on their ‘welcome, ladies’ mat. She was taller than Carol thought, hair shorter than in her dream, and she was so very real. She craned her neck to find Carol in the gap.

    “Hello, Carol.”

    Other than the fact that Carol haven’t told the woman her name, something felt off about her.

    Summary

    After the death of her wife, nihilistic and closeted romance author Carol Sturka descends into a stupor of drunken depression which is only compounded when her fanbase finds out she’s a lesbian and erupts in outrage and deems her disingenuous. Her publicist has the perfect solution to rebuild Carol's public image and free her from the "romance slop" genre forever, but Carol isn't going to like it.

    She's right. Carol hates it. (Until she doesn't.)

    Summary

    Unfortunately, Carol could only watch helplessly as the garment fell away from the woman's flawless skin. From her vantage point, Carol could see the woman's breast in outline – taut skin, pink nipples, and a devastating lack of a tanline.

    The two books in her hand fell onto her towel with a double thump. The woman's eyes slowly met her own in amusement. Carol immediately glanced away in embarrassment – it was a miracle she didn't give herself whiplash.


    Europeans and nude beaches shouldn't mix – or, at least, that was Carol Sturka's opinion before a literal Polish model got her claws into her sunburnt skin.
