Or something that burrows to avoid dry spells/the cold, then climbs out once wet like Great Plains Toads? (I do like toads.)
It's clear and sunny closer to Ottawa. Safe travels!

Of course, posting it would be more impressive. ::laughs::
For #bookqw the word is #strong and I couldn't imagine a better character than Henry--nor a better designer than my Roger. Look at this! @dawbooks.bsky.social
It's the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Serious thoughts and reflections. Sharing hope, even if it's orange sprinkle doughnut fundraiser at Timmies. And this year's tee by www.patrickhunter.ca, a Two-Spirit Ojibwe artist.
Making a vow. #everychildmatters

Sept 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. Today and every day we encourage you to reflect on the painful legacy of residential schools and colonization in Canada, support Indigenous businesses and creators, engage in community events, and listen to Indigenous voices.
And yes, I might just be hiding in order to jump out and surprise @brandoncrilly.bsky.social on occasion...muhahhahaaa
So, we're being ALL FANCY with our schedules and WHY NOT!!
See you @canconsffh.bsky.social
Happy Autumnal Equinox! The events in my first fantasy novel revolve around this day and it will always have a special place in my heart.

REMINDER! THE FIRST THOUSAND TREES is the final book in the ANNUAL MIGRATION OF CLOUDS trilogy -- following Henryk as he wanders dangerously north into bandit and wildfire (also bears, sorry) territory. Out Sep 30 from @ecwpress.bsky.social !

I don't know, but doubt it. It is sold in print in the UK, but not the other formats. Up to the publishing godlets!
While I've been writing #fantasy the last couple of years, #sf is my mainstay. As there's been some buzz recently about my latest, from @dawbooks.bsky.social I thought I'd share it myself. #aliens #farfuture #spaceexploration
