Volume Blue of this collection contains my story “The Enfield Monster.”

I’m so very excited to have a story published, but I find myself missing the joy of Ao3 tags! So I wanted to share what the fic would look like if it was on Ao3:
Tags: two women falling in love never mind one’s a swamp monster, found family, true love, lifelong love, wlw romance, old age, fish cookies, cryptids, cryptozoology, secrets, romantic rescues, a little bit NSFW, singing frogs, you can never forget love
Summary: A human woman named Jessica and her swamp monster wife, Pearl, adapt to the changes that old age brings to their lifelong romance.
Going into the house was like stepping through a mirror. Everything had been unfamiliar, but once inside, it all snapped into place. Here was Jessica’s house, the new one, and there was Jessica herself. Orthopedic shoes, brown with dust. Curling hair, white with age. The house smelled pleasantly of fish and there were oily stains on Jessica’s apron.
“I went home,” Pearl said. She knew she had a sharp mournful cry, and struggled to keep it out of her voice. “Your old home.”
“Enfield,” Jessica said. “Oh, my dear, I haven’t lived there in twenty years.”
“I know.” Pearl said. “Now.”
“Your memory is getting worse,” Jessica said.
Tags for the anthology as a whole include spec fic, lgbtqia+, bipoc, disability, urban fantasy
