Thanksgiving walk surprise! (almost stepped on the little guy!) 🐍
A picture of a wooded ground in the forest with leaves. Crossing the picture is a garter snake. It has yellow stripes and a brown and black pattern on it and blends in very closely with the leaves.

✨NEW COVER!✨ Was having issues the implied action of Agent Renault on the original cover, so we redid it! I think this one has a great vibe.

Thanks to Miblart as always for an awesome revision.

Have a "stellar" week!
An image of science fiction book cover with a woman in a jumpsuit holding a blaster in an action pose, ready to engage. There is a background of a futuristic cityscape on the left in yellow and a space scene with space ships moving quickly on the right with a blue/black banckground. The text says, "Stellar Instinct: an Agent Renault Advneture by Jonathan Nevair." The post text reads, "I spy with my book cover eye... a new cover!"

I am so excited - a good friend and fellow author scripted a sea shanty for THE CURSE OF DRAGON TAIL ISLAND. I just plugged it into the MS. It's soooo salty!

I'll be including the full shanty will all verses in the back matter for sure. 🏝️🦜🏴‍☠️⚓

Never really made a stack of the books I've written. Had to grab some copies from my office at work and when I piled them up they looked so purty i just couldn't resist taking a pic!
a stack of six books on a gray desk. From bottom to top: Cosmic Widow (red spine), To Spy a Star (purple spine), Stellar Instinct (yellow/blue spine), No Song But Silence (gray spine), Jati's Wager (sky blue spine), and Goodbye to the Sun (red and blue spine).

SNEAK PEEK at my COVER/TITLE REVEAL.
Drops tomorrow me hearties!
🦜🏴‍☠️🏝️⚓
an image of a book partially hidden for a cover teaser. What is shown around frayed parchment is a portion of a ship's railing, a small dwarven sailor and the shoulder of a large half-orc. Her muscular arm depicts a kraken tattoo. Behind them are some ropes leading to a ship's sails. The background is a greenish smoke rising from a magic staff and a portion of ship rigging. The text reads, "Cover Reveal Tomorrow" and "A standalone pirate fantasy... arrrgh you ready me hearties?"

Wow did i have a BLAST of fun playing STAR WARS OUTLAWS!

I dnf'd this after like 3 hours when it came out - picked it back up a few weeks ago and it was like a new game with the fixes. Still have a ton of side content to go. World is really immersive.
a screenshot of the home page for the game, star wars outlaws, showing the MC, Kay Vess, walking with a droid and her animal companion, Nix, on her shoulder. There is a backdrop of a tiered city in the mountains, along with items referencing the star wars universe. She is wearing cargo pants, a holster on a belt, gripping a blaster, with a white shirt and blue high cut jacket. Her hair is brown and shoulder length.

Shiver me timbers! My new project is taking shape! 🦜🏝🏴‍☠️ A pirate fantasy adventure. Excited to dip my writing toes into a world w/ magic & fantasy characters with a nautical twist (OH AND A ROMANCE SUBPLOT ❤️).

That's 140 pages of plotting/notes I've just gone through. (aiming for a JAN 26' release)
a stack of paper with text printed and handwritten scribbles of notes. There is a pen laying on it as well as a item that looks like a compass on a chain. The trail of links suggests a serpent, or perhaps a dragon! There is a mug and also a laptop on the table, which is made of granite. The text reads, "Writing Update!"
