This is an intense crossover short, where two of Dawn Chapman’s favorite characters meet the main character from Tailspin.
Enjoy!
Sometimes, the hardest thing you'll ever do is tell someone you love them.
Amid intense helicopter missions, a teenager arrives at Rise Hospital, requiring life-saving yet experimental tech. Nico and Lacy are called in for their expertise, with no clue who this stranger is or how meeting him will change their lives forever. Lacy's skills as a magic healer will be pushed to the limit.
For the first time in a long time, Niko and Lacy spend meaningful time together when it matters most to their relationship. Niko realizes that if he never says those words, he might lose Lacy for good.
In 1995, Australian genre small-press Chimaera Publications founded the Aurealis Awards to honor “the achievements of Australian science fiction, fantasy and horror writers.”
This year, sff author Tansy Rayner Roberts has won the Aurealis Award for Best Science Fiction Novel with her time travel comedy Time of the Cat. Roberts holds a doctorate in Classics and reads her work on the podcast Sheep Might Fly. She lives in Tasmania.
Here’s the description of Time of the Cat from the book’s Kickstarter page:
It’s time to take history seriously.
The cats and humans of Chronos College know that time travel is the best job in the world, and nothing bad can ever happen to them in the past… except that one time they lost a traveller. And that other time they lost a cat.
Now they have a chance to make up for past mistakes by rescuing a long lost legend. If only they could convince Professor Boswell, the grumpiest marmalade tabby of all time, to join their mission to the Swinging Sixties, and save one of their own. (Plus pick up a missing episode or two of their favourite TV show along the way.)
Join Ruthven, Boswell, Monterey and Lovelace on the most chaotic time travel adventure of their lives. Featuring special appearances by Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, famous actress Fleur Shropshire, and the even more famous house where they filmed Cramberleigh between 1964-1986.
Way to go, Tansy!
