Here’s a sneak peek, with permission from the author, of one of the illustrations I painted for Valinora Troy’s upcoming middle-grade fantasy, “Lianna and the Hombit”. This really is one to watch out for when it comes out next year - and not just because my illustrations are in it! 😂

'The Tricker-Treater and Other Stories' by Briana Morgan looks like the perfect book for spooky season. Just look at the cover!

I've enjoyed Morgan's other works, so I will have to check this out.

Lots of other great books included that are perfect for spooky season.

I love Joseph Sale's Thrice Dead series, and the first book is included in the deliciously twisted Halloween book s@le. This is a wonderful dark fantasy with super powered people and lots of horror.
On sal3 this month with lots of other great horror books.

"Across the Dunes" might be my favorite book this year. Certainly a strong contender for my top three.
If you haven't read it yet, now is a good time to grab a copy.
"Across the Dunes" and lots of other horror books are on sail for the whole of October.

I trained Hans 2 carry messages 2 people hiding around the house or garden.
Once, when playing the game with visitors, my sister’s dog wanted to take part. Without any training of this sort, she copied Hans, carrying paper notes back and forth with her hero.
October 6, 2025 at 3:16 PM
I’ve no way of explaining this, but it happened multiple times to other people, not just me.
If Hans asked for a run or walk, & you told him no, not until x time, he would settle down & come back to ask again at the exact time you told him.
October 6, 2025 at 1:22 PM
Hans had phenomenal communication skills. I still can’t work out how he explained some things to the other dogs.
When rescue pup (black cocker spaniel pictured) arrived, he couldn’t relax. I put up a baby gate on my bedroom door so the cats would be safe from his bouncing.

It’s been 5 years since I lost the incredible Mr Hans.
1 night he woke me by frantically trying 2 open the bedroom door.
He led me straight 2 my mother’s room.
She had dementia & couldn’t walk. She’d tried to get out of bed & was stuck between the sides & the end.

If you like sweet squirrel companions,
And evil queens who reign.
If you like sleeping dragons,
And you’re into campaigns.
If you like fighting monsters,
And dudes who wear capes.

As they seek to escape.

Happy #Caturday!

I hope to finish a commission today and then I’m taking a break until Wednesday.

I’m 2 books away from my goal for the month, so I’m very excited about that.
