The new POV character in Memento Mori Station has a genetic modification allowing zir to read minds. Imagine what life would be like if you could hear the thoughts of everyone around you--and they all knew it.

"I have no words. Disturbing but great book. Will not be going to a farm in the middle of nowhere. Read it all in a day. Every chapter was like oh and ooohhh." -Melissa, Goodreads. Photo of my hand holding the paperback of Domestication by Shannon Knight (me) up against a frosty backdrop where the sun is just coming over the next mountain ridge, casting a shadow over the book and sparkling against all the ice-covered plants.

This cover by Jose David Morales is so good! I stopped everything to look at it. It's so weird! Poor kitty!
The Island of Last Things by Emma Sloley. A Novel. Cover art by Jose David Morales. Art is mostly flat with black against yellow. The black is a panther, with its mouth open and a human forearm awkwardly deep across the back of the mouth, so the mouth is open wide with the tongue wrapped up around the arm. The yellow eye of the jaguar is super wide and round like it's shocked, and I would be, too, with that arm crammed back in the mouth.

Looking for the perfect Thanksgiving conversation piece? May I suggest bringing the family together for a little book on eating well. #horror

Buy yours! books2read.com/Domestication

*May not actually be the best dining conversation story. Depends on your family.
In an eat or be eaten world, domestication is a death sentence. Book cover of Domestication by Shannon Knight. Illustration by Savanna Mayer. An Icelandic ram with curling horns is being sheared and a monstrous skeleton of something canine is emerging from the sheep's body. The art is comic-style and very creepy.

"Equal parts Stephen King's Misery and Freida McFadden's The Housemaid [...] a gripping and brutal thriller, refreshingly frank about the realities of farm life." - Aengie Scevity, who read this in a single sitting!

"I read this in a single sitting and very rarely could I predict what was going to come next." "Lastly, because I contemplated giving up on the book when I became worried: the cat survives." -Aengie Scevity Photo of the paperback of Domestication by Shannon Knight held in front of a large guardian dog identified as Jarfi.

And here's Little Bat with the zoom pulled back, and suddenly she is a very little kitty again, but really, that's a big tree stump--tall, too.
Small, gray cat atop a high stump covered in moss and lichen with ferns at its base. The stump is maybe waist-high on a human. The cat looks tiny in this photo.

Here is Little Bat looking like a full-grown kitty. See her charming chub? Next photo, she will look much smaller.

My precious G, the best cat of my life, my favorite animal companion. #AMoRaR Memento Mori Station is dedicated in his memory and features space cats who are not G, and my next book (not out yet) was written in my grief and features another cat who is not G.

Main Sale www.kobo.com/en/p/novembe...

Domestication www.kobo.com/en/ebook/dom...
Photo of the paperback and hardcover of Domestication by Shannon Knight held in front of about ten Icelandic sheep. Review says: "This book is wild. The entire book, you are on edge and uncomfortable. The writing is very very good, and you believe maybe not the extra terrible stuff, but the farm stuff was brutally written. The author worked her magic in written strength and growth along side some really rough stuff -- I wouldn't give this book to kids, but everyone should read this." -Kristin Cedar. Five stars.

The Indoctrination by KL Bone is a space opera that grabbed me. This one has been out for more than ten years now, so if you only look at new releases, you may have missed it. #AMoRaR
Book cover of The Indoctrination by K.L. Bone. To gain an Empire, she must sacrifice her humanity. The cover shows outer space and some planets with the silhouette of the back of a woman in a red gown. As the gown spreads out, another image is laid across the gown of what looks like a water world with some castles rising up out of the water.

And yet another font change (cringe!), but, again, hopefully I'm conveying the right info, as we slide into outer space in this book.

Feeling a bit bold with my font layers here. Hopefully signalling my genre mixing a touch and not scaring any readers away with my graphic art "skills."
