From the sun-bleached beaches of SoCal to the towering redwoods of the north lurk mysterious, ominous, and terrifying tales…

Project #2: Passing in the Night: A Queer Romance Fantasy Graphic Novel
What it’s about: Relationships are hard, especially when the fae get involved. Ruth (medical resident) and Gloria (turns into flying lizard at night) struggle to hold on to each other as the stresses of the day-to-day and supernatural worlds threaten to tear them apart.
Living together in Gloria’s apartment, Ruth and Gloria can’t seem to manage their conflicting schedules. When Ruth suddenly disappears one morning, Gloria will be forced into the magical world beneath the city that she – and everyone else – has been ignoring all along.
Passing in the Night is a story about choosing togetherness in the face of challenge. If you love a good queer romance, this is for you. And if you’re sometimes overwhelmed by adversity and intolerance, Passing in the Night will remind you that the fight is worth it.
