Short Stories
Add Magic to Taste
Scarlett Gale wrote Unusual Blends for Add Magic to Taste, a 5k story about lesbian witches, tea shops, everyday magic, and the struggle of admitting to yourself that, actually, you might like that chaotic woman who keeps asking you for custom tea blends.
For Add Magic to Taste, 20 authors have come together to produce new, original short stories uniting four of our absolute favorite themes: queer relationships, fluff, magic, and coffee shops! Our diverse writers have created an even more diverse collection of stories guaranteed to sweeten your coffee and warm your tart. - Duck Prints Press, 2021
Aether Beyond the Binary
Scarlett Gale wrote Naeghbours for Aether Beyond the Binary, a 7.5k country mouse/city mouse story about finding your way in a new place with the help of your very attractive genderfluid neighbor, also featuring many details about farming and jacquard looms.
How would Earth look if the very atoms around us were suffused with magical aether? How would our lives be different if this aether was discovered last year, or last century, or last millennia? How might the people who lived with this magic explore their gender identities? These are the questions we posed to the 17 authors who contributed to Aether Beyond the Binary. Their inventive answers comprise this must-not-miss collection about magical realms, adventures and mysteries, new chances and well-earned endings, and characters as gender-diverse as the worlds they inhabit. - Duck Prints Press, 2023
