LATEST NEWS & UPDATE:

Howdy, y'all,

Who misses our beloved Raccoons gang and needs a little hit of a brand spanking new short story?

You'll have seen McGuffin in passing in a few of the Raccoons stories, and when I was approached to write a short for this charity anthology, I admit, I was kind of stumped.

The organizer gave us a trope: mine was Beauty and the Beast, and a costume: mine was Pennywise, and the rest was up to us.

After a while of sitting with the prompts, this fun little ditty came tumbling out. It was so enjoyable to write, revisiting the Cedar Rapids gang gave me such great pleasure.

I hope you enjoy it, too.

Mason “Mac” McGuffin

Everyone calls me The Beast. On the ice, I live up to the name— I hit hard, fight harder, keeping my team safe. But off the ice? I keep my distance. Until the Raccoons’ Halloween party, when a tempting little Pennywise corners me with sass, legs for days, and eyes that see straight through my defences.

Hiding’s supposed to be easy: blend in, keep my head down, survive my fresh start in Cedar Rapids. But the second I show up to the Raccoons’ Halloween party dressed as a sexy clown? I’m on his radar.

Mason “The Beast” McGuffin sees me—the girl my ex convinced was invisible.

Broody. Broken. Built like a brick wall. Hockey player. He’s the last man I should fall for. But under all that muscle and growl? Mac’s got a soft side.

Turns out, falling for the Beast is the scariest thing I’ve ever done.

Pickled by A.J. Wynter

He's the grumpiest hockey player in the Sunshine State.

If big-league hockey stars with small town values, meddling kooky neighbors, and reluctant pickleball players are your jam, you will love Gideon's story.
