About The Book
Summer can be bittersweet. Too short. Too hot. Full of adventures that can never last long enough. First loves. And lost ones. The second volume in the Queer Windows series brings you four new short stories led by queer characters from across the spectrum. Queer Windows gives a glance at four fantastical, queer love stories.
Camp Spinytooth
Summer camp is more fun with dragons. And a little ‘friendly’ competition.
A Silent Ballad
Being a siren without a voice doesn’t mean you can’t find your place in the world.
River at the End
As a new traverser of the otherworlds, Aysel keeps an eye on the time as she completes her errands before a final goodbye.
Star Chaser
When you wish upon a star, you expect that wish to come true. Even if it may take some time.
The Review
Four short stories about lost loves and found loves, including dragons, a silent siren, a star chaser, and a summer camp.
Camp Spinytooth is a camp where two boys find each other, after a lot of suspicion. Peng shares a cabin with his best friend Rennie. Then a new roommate, Ophir, joins them. Ophir was part of Umbertail camp, and Peng believes he is there to spy. Both boys are punished for trying to steal the Umbertail flag, and are sent to clean the dragon barn. A story of understanding.
A Silent Ballad is Kyruse and Nico’s story. Kyruse suffered the loss of her voice, but insists on going to areas forbidden for her. If she’s found by humans, she will unable to sing out for help and could lead to her death. When Nico, who runs the lighthouse, discovers her, he tells her he means her no harm. A lesson learned – not all humans are bad.
River at the End is Aysel’s story, a tale about death. Aysel’s grandmother taught her how to travel otherworlds, and now Aysel finds herself taking her grandmother to her resting place after a long life.
Star Chaser is Greysen and Edwin(a)’s story. Greysen finds fallen stars and returns them to the people who made wishes on them. Unfortunately, many stars are impossible to return to the owner of the wish. But Edwin has an idea how to find them.
Each story in this lovely collection is about finding love and acceptance, and every main character is gay, – some finding themselves, and others already accepted for who they are.
Four stars.

I am an avid reader the mother of 3 sons and grandmother to seven grandchildren. Since retiring I have been doing more reading while volunteering as a CASA worker. CASA is an organization that works with the family court system to ensure that children are in the best living situation. There are way too many children that get overlooked in the foster care system and I visit homes and make visits to the parents. I was born and raised in New York and my husband of 50 years and I live in Upstate New York.
