Milena McKay is a Lambda Literary and Golden Crown Literary Society award-winning sapphic fiction author.
She is a cat whisperer who wears four-inch heels for work while secretly dreaming of her extensive Converse collection. Would live on blueberries and lattes if she could.
Milena can recite certain episodes of The West Wing by heart and quote “Pride and Prejudice” in her sleep. Her love for Cate Blanchett's Carol Aird knows no bounds.
I really enjoyed this told from the POV of the cat, who puts up with, and sometimes appreciates, the two humans in his life. It adds an extra layer of fun and is different to the first of the two short-story epilogues to the main book, the first in the duology.
If you enjoyed The Headmistress, don't miss out on the two shorts, labeled 1.5 and 1.6. They're free on the author's website.
That was… not what I expected. A romance from the cat’s point of view? Not something you’d think you want to read, but gosh it was so cute. I love that we can see Magdalene’s love towards Sam even from Willoughby’s perspective.
Alright, alright. We got a proposal, and a wedding… (sort of) now it’s time for the honeymoon, isn’t it? 😌
