~ Part 1 ~ Beatrix is trying to finish her first novel in 1966 when she meets Paul at a party thrown by the art dealer Robert Fraser. Starting an affair with Paul McCartney is a terrible idea, but she just can't seem to stop herself. 1966 is a transformative year for Paul with the release of Revolver, the genesis of Sgt Pepper, and the end of the Beatles touring years. Paul is trying to reconcile being both an artist and a Beatle when he meets Beatrix. ~ Part 2 ~ As Beatrix is increasingly drawn into the chaotic and bizarre circus of the Beatles' inner circle, she tries to find her place as Paul's partner without losing herself in the process. 1967 is a year of epic highs and dramatic lows for Paul as the Beatles release Sgt Pepper, meet the Maharishi, and embark on a Magical Mystery Tour. In some ways Beatrix is still elusive to him, but these days he is very familiar with what her knickers look like. - Disclaimer: this is a work of fiction.

Queen's 1982 'Hot Space' album, you either love it or love to hate it. Freddie Mercury can safely assume that the acerbic music critic from Rolling Stone magazine, Hayes Griffith, despises it. A particularly scathing review of 'Hot Space' provokes a meeting between the lively musician and cold critic. The result? A PR nightmare for both men. *** Characters are inspired by Queen. I do not own them, photos, or lyrics, used throughout the story.
