Welcome to the Moonlight Café, where the drinks are cheap, the karaoke is nostalgic, and the queer community is free. This collection includes the three novellas in the Moonlighters series: Sing Anyway (nb/f), Our Favorite Songs (m/m), and Wherever Is Your Heart (butch/butch), along with a bonus short story, I Didn't Sign Up for This, and a brief essay from me about the origin of the series. Thanks for singing along.

How long, exactly, had June been coming to Moonie's for the sole purpose of pining after the bartender?Long enough to know, probably, that there was no good reason for Mal Edwards, a bastion of stability and good sense, to see any kind of future with June anyway. Was it even fair to express feelings to a woman like that when June was barely around, on the road more than she wasn't? But as another Pride weekend approaches, June's fiftieth birthday and the eventual end of her long-haul trucking days loom in her mind, nestled against the memories of Moonie's nights gone by where it felt like June and Mal came close-close to something happening, something real. Until June would inevitably chicken out, and retreat once again to life on the road.It's time for June to finally figure out her next act. And if she's not brave enough to ask Mal Edwards to be part of it, she doesn't deserve her, anyway.After all. If you can't tell a butch you love her during Pride, when the hell can you?

"After a lifetime of failed relationships, non-binary history professor Sam Bell is committed to a new (non)romantic strategy. For Lily Fischer, karaoke at Moonie's is the only time she can step outside of her quiet shell. At Moonie's, Lily can pretend to be someone else: someone bold, who takes what she wants. And tonight, what Lily wants is the way Sam looks at her across the room as she sings her signature opening song, like they see her exactly as she wants to be seen. It's not always about knowing all the right words or having the perfect voice. Maybe all Sam and Lily need is a little courage to pick up the mic, and sing anyway."--

A hilarious and heart-warming queer rom-com about the first openly non-binary contestant on a cooking show who becomes distracted by their beautiful, clumsy competitor.
