Reality Dawn is convinced there's an inter-dimensional passageway open in a house belonging to an artist. Worse, the artist knows, and is going back and forth through it, and certainly won't want Reality barging in there to close it permanently. Rae finds herself working for this artist, and sneaking Reality Dawn into the house to do the job on the sly.
That would be fine, just another adventure, except Reality's refusing to let Rae come through the Doorway with her. In fact, something is going on with Reality Dawn that she's refusing to talk about, and Rae is too afraid to ask what's on her mind.
Plagued with her own growing feelings for Reality Dawn, and tormented by what happened between them on the last Earth they visited, Rae's terrified of being sent away permanently. Reality's acting like she doesn't want her around anymore, but how are you supposed to go back to working in a supermarket after trekking around the multiverse with someone as fascinating and compelling as Reality Dawn? Rae doesn't want to know, because when it comes down to it, she'll risk anything for Reality.
Painted Earth is a 32000 word novella, the fourth in the Reality Dawn series.
Genre: science fiction, fantasy, lesbian, women's fiction

EXCERPT
'Well, sure glad we got that sorted out,' Rae said. 'Except we haven't, because there's no way I'm not coming with you through the Door. We're partners now, right? A team? I'm your assistant, apprentice, whatever. Which means I have to assist, apprentice, go with you, at any rate. And I want to see. I want to see all these worlds. Who wouldn't?' She paused to draw breath but started speaking again before Reality could interrupt. 'Besides, what are the chances that the other Rae Kelly is going to be anywhere near where the passageway comes out? She'll probably be sunning herself back on some beach in NZ. I wonder what she does? What she's like? Is she a lot like me? Identical, or what? How does it work?' In all their travelling together, Rae hadn't even thought about there being other versions of herself out there living their lives on other versions of the Earth. She almost hoped another Rae Kelly would be jaunting around on the other side of the Reality Door
