Passing in the Night: An Urban Fantasy Queer Romance

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of Passing in the Night by Meghan Kemp-Gee with art by Lane Lloyd and letters by Megan Praz. Passing in the Night is the story of two star-crossed lovers, Ruth and Gloria. Ruth is a busy medical resident with a sleep disorder... and Gloria transforms into a giant flying lizard every night. While they struggle to make things work at home, Ruth gets kidnapped by fairies and anti-magic riots spread throughout the city. Can they make things work, or are they just two ships passing in the night?

This is a timely story about choosing love in the face of forces that threaten to tear you apart. It's cozy, magical, and beautiful. At a time when LGBTQ+ stories are being banned, threatened, and refused by some publishers, I'm proud to have the opportunity and the privilege to publish this heart-warming queer story.

Passing in the Night will launch by Kickstarter on Tuesday, February 10th at 6pm!

Praise for Passing in the Night:

"The best fantasies are the ones that understand their connection to reality. Passing in the Night explores interpersonal relationships with a fresh flair as it weaves in the fantastical with queer romance." -Kat Calamia (Lifeline Comics) 

"A refreshing urban fantasy that finds the "magic" in the everyday struggles of its central queer couple. "Passing in the Night" is an inspiring showcasing of how the most debilitating struggles - both mundane and fantastic - can be overcome by compassion, creativity, and communication." - Phil Falco (Lifeline Comics)

"Without apology, this story drops you deep into a fully realized world where somehow you feel right at home, threading the needle between high fantasy and deeply human moments, with art that never stops bouncing. This feels like a song on your headphones as you take the long way home, just so you can live between worlds a little longer." -Richard Fairgray

"Passing the Night is a modern fantasy love story, with a real life takeaway." - Francine Delgado

To give this book a solid start, we will host a pre-launch party at Cross & Crows Books, here in Vancouver, BC on Commercial Drive, on February 10th from 6 to 8 pm. Meet the author and learn more about the story, along with snacks and non-alcoholic drinks. We will have an exclusive comic available to anyone who backs our Kickstarter campaign at any level during the event. For event details and to RSVP to this free event, visit the Cross & Crows website. 

We're proud to be launching this queer story at a bookstore that focuses on promoting queer stories and creating an inclusive space. We hope to see you there!
