Studio cat Lady Maneki would like to remind you that it's okay to take some time to recharge your emotional and physical batteries before you return to the hard work of trying to make the world around you better place.

She suggests spending some cozy time with your nearest feline guardian.

I'm beginning a draft of my next book.
Usually, my writing process is a discovery and figure-it-out-on-the-fly sort of thing.
My characters have provided me with a rough outline this time.

This is a good sign, yes?

I sit down for a moment.
Void Cat: mrr? [Sits next to me like an Egyptian statue]
Calico: mrr-prrp? [Same pose, other side]

I am well-guarded, and my guardians are purring.

In addition to being an author myself, I'm also an illustrator and stained glass artist. One of my regular cover design clients has comissioned me to make *real* stained glass panels as the cover artwork for several of her upcoming projects.

Who wants to see this process in action?

I sat down for two seconds, and I am now trapped under a sleepy calico who typically doesn't want cuddles...

If what you spend the last day of the year doing is an indication of what next year will contain, what does your 2026 look like?

Mine is apparently full of the shiny glass I'm sorting with my cats.

It's cold enough that I've happily switched from working in my semi-outdoor glass studio to curling up under three quilts and working on website upgrades and new stories...

Fellow authors, which of your characters do you find most difficult to write?

I'm starting to plan new #StainedGlass suncatcher designs for next year. What animal do you want to see me make?

December means 🌟baking🌟 all the treats I didn't have time to make the rest of the year.

What's your favorite cookie?

👀 My secret to making neat aliens for my science fiction series who aren't just "humans... but [trait]!" ... is being mildly obsessed with nature documentaries.

I mean, really, folks, echinoderms *exist* and they're so. Very. Weird. I love it.
