My book, Gravitational Pull, is eligible for a Coyotl this year, as are two of my short stories ("The Artisan" and "Unbreakable Bonds")!

Check out all the amazing writing this past year on the Coyotl reading list!

Hey there, just a mention that Iron Ark, the sequel to The Dry Spell is out in paperback from @furplanet.com with an e-book release coming in the near future. Thanks for your consideration!

Somehow I missed this when you first told this story. Wow, that's... quite something.

My short story 'Amongst the Upright Ones' and my anthology 'Echoes' are both eligible for the 2025 CΓ³yotl nominations!

There are many!

Oh whoops, my bad! I didn't scroll down far enough.

Oh awesome! What size is the figure? I can't seem to find that information...

Thank you! :)

It's a book that's very much worth your time! If you haven't had the pleasure of reading them, give them a shot!

Yay, my short story Rapture is on the reading list for the CΓ³yotl Awards!

Here are the images they posted with all the short stories. Give em a read if you haven't yet! #FurryWriting

Oh, I'd definitely be very curious! I'd worry, though, since my own mental images of those books/characters/scenes are so entrenched. Has there been no further information since that link?

Ahhh, thank you, Cassius! <3

As we approach the anniversary of My Remise's release on the 25th, I'm also only 10 sales away from reaching the break even point for production cost.

So, if you want to get a headstart on the CΓ³ytle reading list now is a great time to pick up My Remise.

Looks like I have a couple things nominated!
If you enjoyed my anthology 'Echoes' or the story 'Amongst the Upright Ones', please consider voting for them!

Either way, you should go vote for your favourites...there are a lot of great writers represented among the nominees!

I heard about this! I watched the reel just now, and there's some lovely art in there. I always worry about adaptations, though, and since there is so much in those books, I would worry the flavour of it all might be missing or the feel would be remarkably different.

They really are wonderful. I think I've re-read all of them four or five times by now. And it's strangely rare to find others who even know of them!

I absolutely loved those books!

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the rest of it! (warning: feels)

Hi all!
Especially with my new book coming out, I wanted to remind those of you who have enjoyed any of my books, please leave a rating on Goodreads! And even a review, if you feel so inclined. :)
Every one of those helps, especially for an indie author!

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.
