reynardoIt's story recommending time. This is "The Riddle of the Copper Coin" by Bramble Thorn (yes, it's a pseudonym), who is a friend of mine. The story is a modern day lesbian love story, intertwined with a 1001 nights tale that weaves around the rest and binds it together. It has more romance and relationships, although it does have some steamy sections, and you can try the first 55% for free at Smashwords.
Some people here might recognise this as the author of "A Stringed Instrument". A rare (and lucky) few might even find the poetry sometimes very familiar. Please give it a go, and if you like the free portion, consider buying the whole. ($2.99 US)

Excerpt:
In modern-day Melbourne, Penny sinks into depression after breaking her ankle and losing her girlfriend. Her housemate Rafi comforts her by telling a story inspired by the 1001 Nights. Rafi narrates the adventures of Adiba, a scribe's daughter fleeing from an unwelcome suitor; Adiba sets out to rescue a kidnapped princess from the City of Jinn armed only with her wits and a pen. But as Adiba's rescue of Princess Makaarim becomes a courtship, the friendship between Rafi and Penny heats up.
