I'm not happy with my choice of colour for the sword, it came out darker than I expected, but otherwise I am pleased with Murray the Pirate Meerkat! #Furryart

I am growing bored of the tiresome and dishonest rhetoric of anti-vaxxers.

I'm flitting between three different writing projects, which is probably not wise, but it's keeping the creative juices flowing!

Argh! I dropped a slab of digestive biscuit in my coffee!

I've been pondering a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle tattoo, but now I find myself drawn to a paw print, to honour both my current cat, and those I have lost. #Tattoos

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

The Thinking ‘Kat: AI and Copyright

Over on Twitter, there has been something of a storm brewing within the furry community. Furry drama is a somewhat regular occurrence (I suppose you can say that about pretty much anything, to be fair), and I tend to stay out of it. On this occasion though, it's caught my attention. An artist recently provided a patron of theirs with a commissioned piece of art.

What mess might Murray have found himself in this time? #Furryart

Meerkat Prompts: Halloween

Rightly or wrongly, I have now developed a stock reply to those emailing me or messaging about my author experiences. My hope is it will weed out the spammers and scammers. We shall see. #Authorlife

Meerkat Books
