My
mind spun in all kinds of directions when I first heard that the SFR Shooting
Stars were looking for authors to participate in the Cosmic Cabaret anthology. We
were asked to bring our own universe into that of the L.S. Quantum.
Who
from my Sons of Tallav Universe needed a vacation? In the end, I chose Master
Trey, but his visit to the Blue Star line’s luxury starship isn’t a holiday.
He’s been sent on a mission. I’ll get to that in a moment.
The
Cosmic Cabaret is just one of the venues on the Quantum, which is the size of a
small moon. Lots of space for the thirteen authors in the anthology to add to
the world building already provided by the set creator, Jayne Fury. But all
stories intersect in some way at the Cosmic Cabaret. Our world building was
cross-pollinated through a discussion forum where we shared with one another
the details about the Quantum and other venues we were creating in our stories.
This was the best part of this anthology experience. I loved hearing what
others were doing and seeing how they brought their characters into the
setting.
The
anthology releases on October 10. You can preorder now.

Educated
by the Master by Cailin Briste – My
contribution to the Cosmic Cabaret
Take one talkative
novice to kink. Combine with a master who prefers the silence of meditation.
Bake on high heat at the Cosmic Cabaret. Luscious.
Patsy O’Shaughnessy is
ready to leave the Quantum and Cosmic Cabaret behind for a new position at a
kinky venue on the planet Beta Tau. That she’s a novice to this type of club
doesn’t curb her enthusiasm. She needs this job. Trey Johannsen isn’t thrilled
to be pulled from his club on Beta Tau to offer her his expertise. Seriously? Burlesque?
Yet, the creative director they’ve foisted on him is an intriguing ingénue that
reignites a light within, clearing the cobwebs of his ennui. They’re both going
to have to learn some new tricks… and hands-on experience is the best teacher.
Excerpt:
It had seemed like a good idea when Patsy canceled Trey Johannsen’s cabin reservation. Their first night sharing her cabin is a little rocky.
“Where should I put this?” His gaze traveled over
the tiny room. “There’s no room in the closet with all the shoes.”
“It’s not that many shoes. The closet’s small.”
Trey threw his palms out to the side. “So?” He
glanced toward the corner of the room where there was space between the head of
the bed and wall.
Oh
hell! If he puts it there, he’ll be loomin’ over me every time he wants
somethin’ out of it. She scanned the room, came up empty, and pointed
at the corner. “You’ll have to put it there.”
He strode around the bed and deposited the
suitcase. All attempts to keep her gaze from straying to his briefs were for
naught.
“My cock is getting uncomfortable with you staring.
If you don’t want me getting ideas, you should stop lusting after it.”
Patsy huffed out a breath. “I’m not lustin’ after
it. It’s just…abnormally large.” And growing bigger from the look of things.
“I like to think of it as just right.”
“I’m sure ya do.” She slumped into the bed and
covered her head with the blanket. “Good night.”
A thump sounded. “Ouch. Just my toe. Nothing to
worry about.”
