One of the most talented writers out there, I adore her view of the lads. This one begins in 1981, just after the mess of Anne Holly, and takes us through 'some years later'. It's Bodie POV, sparkling dialogue and the lads who gradually get everything together. Who needed a wife when I had him to cook for me, boss me around, and drive me round the twist? It's Doyle that takes steps to finally get them to bed, and he's wonderfully in character throughout what Bodie thinks of as 'the longest seduction on record'.

And the fire imagery that starts and ends it? Is just perfect.

You and I have been chatting about this a bit in private email, but I really like Miriam's work. This story is lovely, and I'm crazy about her little snippet, "Only Queers Kiss." She's very talented.

She's very talented. She certainly is, and discovering that she's written a lot in The Sentinel as well as Pros - as well as a wealth of other fandoms actually - made my week last week.*g*
