Some great news: I just got off the phone with the U.S. Coast Guard, who has returned the rescue helicopter to Newport and promised to keep it there. This is a big win to keep fishermen and the Newport community safe.

So there are 11 people in their "window" for my call shifts this weekend. Just raining bellies and CPTSD over here.
Fantastic time to check out my Ko-Fi and treat yourself to my short stories, novel excerpts, and personal and project lore.
Your subscriptions also keep the baby train moving.

My in-bio site is functional in a static business card kind of way. I know newsletters are what all the cool authors have, the way my neurology is set up newsletters are hell. But Ko-fi is a great place to catch up with me, and if we're accustomed to interacting my DMs can get you my Signal.

Took a break from cutting stuff out to stamp snowflakes on all the cards. Came out pretty well and took very little time! I should start gluing some of the cat silhouettes I've already cut out onto the cards since the books I use to press them flat while they dry can only fit so many at a time.

Day 4 of the #ArtAdventCalendar is an embroidered pet portrait I completed in 2024.
This was done in single-strand thread painting technique to capture every detail.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 4 - Bucket of rose petals. I volunteer in the Sunken Rose Garden at Government House in Victoria and was deadheading when I looked at the bucket. I thought it looked like a big bouquet. Another one that would also make a nice fabric pattern!

Toronyan, an apprentice river-boatman cat, is the mascot for Nagatoro Town in Saitama. His hat is decorated with the town’s flowers, cherry blossoms and wintersweet, and his eyes sparkle like the flowing Arakawa River.

"Thagomizer" in Japanese is, in fact, サゴマイザー/sagomaizaa, and you can imagine my delight when it dawned on me what the katakana I was reading represented.
Come to think of it, Johnny, what's the Thagomizer called in Japanese?
