Season 14 Review – Doctor Who Stumbles Along
Well, the verdict is in, at least for this season.
So what have we got?
Disappointment I’m afraid.
So far the Gatwa era consists of an extended cameo in David Tenant’s “The Giggle,” the Christmas Special, “Church on Ruby Road,” and an eight episode season starting with Space Babies and Ending with Empire of Death.
Overall impressions? Deeply uneven. Mostly unsatisfying. Three brilliant episodes, two unfocused sub-par efforts that we’ll generously call mediocre, and an opening and closing set of dumpster fires.
The larger problems? Gatwa’s overacting masks an underlying lack of commitment or emotional depth. RTD has become a shallow parody of himself. And critically, the show is deeply stagnant and failing to evolve or change. We’re getting the same old same old, as we got fifteen years ago, just tired and worn out.
PERVERSIONS & INFIDELITIES, DEUX
Eve St. Albert returns with her second volume of Perversions and Infidelities, three more novellas of desire, transgression, sex and satisfaction. Perversions and Infidelities is a four book series being produced by Fossil Cove Publishing, with Dawne Dominque as the cover artist. The first three books each contain a series of novellas featuring erotic tales for a women’s readership. These are stories of empowerment, adventure and satisfaction. Of women breaking free of their normal lives, embarking on transgressive sexual journeys, exploring power, identity, fantasy and desire and ultimately, finding their true selves.

Perversions & Infidelities, an Erotic Collection
Welcome to Fossil Cove Publishing’s foray into Erotica, Perversions and Infidelities, the first of a four book series written by Eve St. Albert, with cover by Dawne Dominique.
Perversions and Infidelities, is a collection of four erotic novellas of women’s erotic. In particular, it focuses on women stepping out of assigned roles, refusing to accept the place life designates for them, and struggling to break free, to find fulfillment and adventure, even if their satisfaction requires transgression.
The stories explore themes of identity, both identities assigned and identities assumed; fantasy, and self discovery. Each character finds themselves in a position where they go beyond the rules to discover themselves. Sometimes they stumble there accidentally, sometimes they flee in desperation and restlessness, and for some a doorway into temptation opens. It is erotica with a literary edge, nasty stories of women who unapologetically want what they want.
