It’s that time. If you’re willing and able to be an ARC reader for Blood Drives, a collection of five short tales about vampires, werewolves, and Vatican agent priests, hit me up. This one should be dropping soon, and you can be among the first to read it!

Despite myths and legends, the Mojave rattlesnake isn’t aggressive–it’s misunderstood. They avoid danger and defend when necessary. This beautiful desert snake plays a key ecological role and deserves curiosity, not fear.

"Only waste travels from rich countries to poor, and the supply is endless." When journalist @alexclapp.bsky.social began exploring the waste trade, he found it resembled something he had written about before: the drug market.
Where Does Plastic And Other Trash Go After We Throw It Away?
A journalist traveled to five continents to learn about the afterlife of our trash, and why most “recyclable” plastic actually isn’t.

Our friend the Natterjack Toad is known as Europe's loudest amphibian! During breeding season, the distinctive call from a chorus of males can be heard more than a mile away! An easy way to distinguish them from other common toads is the yellow stripe down their back! (photo by Borja Fierro)

wanted to have Aurora joining the Fatals as part of Test of the Four, but one of my beta readers (who is very smart) said that story should be its own book so… now Hollow Cry exists too!
