Former grad student, Matt Warner, has retrained as a nurse under the group’s doctor, Peter Lane. Training is not the only thing Matt wants to be under Peter for, but Peter has always resisted responding to Matt’s interest in him. Before all this started Peter had a husband, Harrison, back home. A husband he desperately hopes is still alive. Despair finally weakens Peter’s resolve and he and Matt begin sharing a bed.

A new year, a new release day. Yay! My new release, Memory's Ghosts is a bit of a surprise follow up to Palace Ghosts - which was intended as a standalone and now has this sequel and a third one in the works. This (and the third one) focus on different characters, but there are guest appearances from the characters from Palace Ghosts. Memory's Ghosts (Ghosts Book 2) Months after the liberation of the Red Palace, freed prisoner Max Murphy is still there, hoping for the return of his stolen ship and trying to forget the day he lost everything. Meanwhile, ex-Li pilot Jiang Tai is keeping his head down and wishing he could forget the secrets he carries. Or just forget anything at all. When the station is blockaded Max and Tai are sent off on a desperate mission to end the siege. Spending weeks on an awkwardly small ship with a weird, sleep-obsessed, former pirate of the most fanatical sort is not Max’s idea of a good time—even if Tai is kind of cute. Tai never reckoned on a long tr...

Looks like goat’s back on the menu, boys! Goaty McGoatface returns for another GoatWatch. Wot?  Okay, a primer. The Gävle Goat is a 13 meter straw Yule Goat erected every year in the town of Gävle in Sweden, in the run up to Christmas. And sometimes it’s burned down or otherwise destroyed. Security has become tighter around the goat every year, especially in these days of live streaming - and clout chasing. Read more about the goat: Gävlebocken | Visit Gävle  - includes a live feed of the goat. Gävle goat - Wikipedia I first heard about it on the Hypnogoria podcast, and back in December 2022 I started keeping an eye on the goat, as I got a bit emotionally invested in it surviving to Christmas without burning down. I blogged about that here . The next year I began doing the same in December, and what a strange year for the goat it was! It didn’t burn, but due to there being an unusual amount of seed still in the goat’s straw, it was gradually eaten by local birds over the mont...
