my first completed novel, a blue-collar space opera with kitchen-sink-itis
there's literally nothing salvageable of the original prose, but the characters were fuckin great and I recently had an idea for them that _works_ for me

ngl I can't stop thinking about this bizarre ghibli-AI cover for Fritz Leiber's Conjure Wife
hat tip to @minillajovovich.bsky.social for knowing that I, specifically, needed to see it
It is conceivably going to haunt me and my Leiber collection forever

Flea Hell continues apace, and primarily so specifically for my elder gent Obi-Wan. I treated every place he goes in this entire house. YES even the litter. I've treated him, repeatedly, with basically every otc product that exists. I cannot get this sad little man free of bugs and I am beat (1)

I'm tryin'! It's hard, but I am definitely in the position of like, well, I just have to get through it (would love to know if there's an endpoint to "it" the but rather suspect it remains better unknown.)

Absolutely would not have purchased this gem without this incredible vintage Vallejo cover.
(Fun fact: Max Daniels was a pseudonym for the prolific Roberta Gellis, and this book is a charming send up of exactly what you would expect)

hey hi hello there!
I am currently neck-deep in Family Carework for a few more days but I'm looking forward to spending more time on this platform.
In the meantime please enjoy my mother's big grey wompy darling, Anakin, because he will not get out of my lap so long as I'm sitting in the Cat Chair

If you see this, qrp with a character that has long hair
It has been way too long since I have done a new and nice painting of my fellows Egan and Petrel so here is an older one for now. I'm pretty sure Egan's hair is only allowed to get longer & wilder from here on out.

For just a little while longer: snag the ebook of BRINGER OF THE SCOURGE for a dollar! (or the rough equivalent because of annoying exchange rate stuff! But like! For cheap! Most places!)

hey hi so SHEPHERD is here now!
My sophomore novel and cover Illustration debut, The Shepherd in Shadow is a book that shook me awake at 3AM one night with, well, a nightmare about a nightmare.
As usual with me, paperback is TK, I have some little extra things to do.

lest I lose my other book in the fray of publicizing my darling anthology--I'm only 2-preorders away from beating the number of preorders for Bringer of the Scourge! I know everyone hates sequels, especially in an obvious-trilogy scenario, but hey, I am typing relentlessly for a reason here.
