Breakfast at Cordelia's Aquarium

By Debbie McGowan

This is a very short, fun interlude in the Hiding Behind The Couch series.

Unlike the rest of the series, which is written in third-person (semi-omniscient) past tense, this short story is written in first-person present tense.

It has no real bearing on anything else that happens in the series; it is what it is: an Easter Egg.

It is entirely self-indulgent, for which I make no apologies.

Debbie McGowan

Debbie McGowan is an award-winning author of contemporary fiction that celebrates life, love and relationships in all their diversity. Since the publication in 2004 of her debut novel, Champagne—based on a stage show co-written and co-produced with her husband—she has published many further works—novels, short stories and novellas—including two ongoing series: Hiding Behind The Couch (a literary ‘soap opera’ centring on the lives of nine long-term friends) and Checking Him Out (LGBTQ romance). Debbie has been a finalist in both the Rainbow Awards and the Bisexual Book Awards, and in 2016, she won the Lambda Literary Award (Lammy) for her novel, When Skies Have Fallen: a British historical romance spanning twenty-three years, from the end of WWII to the decriminalisation of homosexuality in 1967. Through her independent publishing company, Debbie gives voices to other authors whose work would be deemed unprofitable by mainstream publishing houses.
