  “Chloé Caldwell’s 2014 novella Women, about a woman falling in love with another woman for the first time, became a queer cult classic. In Trying, the writer again uses the fragmentary form, candor, and wit to study ‘the brain of someone trying to get pregnant.’ … When another form of grief suddenly bursts into her life, it ultimately signals a rebirth.”—Jasmine Vojdani, Vulture 
    
  If you’re writing about your life in real time, are you inherently fucked? 
    
  Over the years that Chloé Caldwell had been married and hoping to conceive a child, she’d read everything she could find on infertility. But no memoir or message board reflected her experience; for one thing, most stories ended with in vitro fertilization, a baby, or both. She wanted to offer something different. 
    
  Caldwell began a book. She imagined a selective journal about her experience coping with stasis and uncertainty. Is it time to quit coffee, find a new acupuncturist, get another blood test? Her questions extended to her job at a clothing boutique and to her teaching and writing practice. Why do people love equating publishing books with giving birth? What is the right amount of money to spend on pants or fertility treatments? How much trying is enough? She ignored the sense that something else in her life was wrong that was not on the page … until she extracted a confession from her husband. 
    
  Broken by betrayal but freed from domesticity, Caldwell felt reawakened, to long-buried desires, to her queer identity, to pleasure and possibility. She kept writing, making sense of her new reality as it took shape. With the candor, irreverence, and heart that have made Caldwell’s work beloved, Trying intimately captures a self in a continuous process of becoming—and the mysterious ways that writing informs that process.

  Amir wants to meet a guy outside of a bar. Kinzi wants someone who won't cheat on him. Vico just wants a quick lay. In Gateway, when you need to meet someone, there's no-one better than sexy, flirty Hayward to get you just what you want--or at least have a good time trying. But when Hayward himself needs someone, who will be there to help? "Bridges" is a six-part narrative from five different points of view. The first three parts narrate the same evening from the point of view of each of the three characters involved: Amir, Fin, and Hayward. Part 3.5 follows Amir and Fin some months later, and parts 4 and 5 take place in the world of Hayward as seen by two of the people closest to him. "Bridges" won the Ursa Major Award for Short Fiction in 2010, and part 3.5, written the following year and included in this unabridged audio edition, won the Ursa Major Award for Short Fiction in 2011 for its characterization of a character struggling with depression. This book contains some steamy sex scenes, but also some real heart, showing the tentative steps taken toward relationships by characters afflicted with shyness, depression, or personal tragedy. This is the first in the award-winning line of "Cupcake" books, short fiction in furry worlds. A Furry novel in the Forester Universe.• Genre: Coffeeshop Fox

  There is nothing more annoying than Christmas... 
  I see the irony of being the owner of a Christmas tree farm and hating the very holiday that keeps my family business alive, but Christmas Falls takes this season way too seriously with their festive business names to the sheer merriment that envelops the entire town. 
  I'm no grinch, but I can relate to one being surrounded by all this jubilance. It doesn't help when a new part-timer joins the tree farm and is the very embodiment of joy, starting from his name—Felix Joy. 
  He's ten years younger than me, and I feel the age difference every second I interact with him. His enthusiasm exhausts me, yet I can't stay away, even if it means I have to deal with the ridiculous nickname he forces onto me. 
  He's melting the fatigue of Christmas, but I'll never admit it. I'm ready for all the blinding lights to come down, for him to leave, and to finally get some peace and quiet. 
  Christmas Falls is a multi-author M/M romance series set in a small town that thrives on enough holiday charm to rival any Hallmark movie.
