    Summary

    She got up, stood tall, and although she knew she was going to say it, it caught her by surprise when she heard herself say it: “Did you sleep with her? The admiral?”

    He turned back around.

    “No,” he said.

    “Did you kiss her?”

    “No.”

    “Did you want to?”

    “Yes.”

    “Did she?”

    “You tell me, Kathryn."

    Summary

    A remarkable "braided novel" of 8 stories and novellas which Macedon wrote in tandem with the equally remarkable Peg Robinson. Too sprawling (in the grand sense) in scale and reach to reduce to a mere synopsis; let us just say that this is Voyager unfettered and red in tooth and claw, such as Paramount with its nice tidy pander-to-the-demographics mentality could only dream of producing. Faith, community, alienation and belonging, honest conflict between Maquis and Starfleet, and the realities of life far from home and safety. These are just a few of the things Macedon and Peg handled with discretion and grace.

    From Macedon: I recently learned that my friend of many years, Peg, passed away in her sleep September 3, 2024. If you were or are a fan of the Talking Stick series and Peg's fiction, please think softly on her and light some sage or tobacco in her memory for the wonderful stories she gave to us.

    Summary

    “They’re fine, I guess,” Julie says. “Kinda weird.”

    Weird as in: she gets a feeling like brain freeze if she looks at them for too long. Weird like: when they lean in to speak to each other, they make the conference room go still and November cold. She would need something far stronger than coffee before she’d admit it, but there have been moments where Julie could not tell them apart.

    or: soulmates as cryptids
