Some doors appear only when they are needed.

The Icicle Lounge is now available.

It began with an image: winter, warmth, four figures in stained glass, and a hand held out in invitation.

From there came a place that appears where it is needed most — on frozen hillsides, beside lonely roads, on Atlantic shores, and sometimes in the middle of summer when the winter is inside rather than out.

Inside wait North, Frost, Snow, and Ice.

And always, somewhere, there is the fifth seat.

The Icicle Lounge is a linked collection of quiet, queer, magical stories about sanctuary, belonging, grief, love, and the strange ways we sometimes find our way home.

It is illustrated throughout, published in Pocket Book format, and available now from Lulu.
