Wrapping up a writing retreat in WA State. It's been a great time & very productive for The Bonding: Book Two of the Avian Age. Added 5 new chapters + tidied up loose ends in outline and wiki for the project. I'm on track to have Book Two out by mid-2026, just in time for Anthrocon!
Google was right! You can take raw eggs through a TSA checkpoint. Rules don’t specify species. Who knew?

Just finished writing my first love scene in The Bonding. It was so wholesome it melted my heart, and so lusty it melted the keyboard!

Btw, that last post is not a draw-over. That’s assembled prints I made on a foam board backing. Same with this one, which is Tulivor.

I’m in love 🥰 This is Vouli, a character from my new novel, Whiterock. I made this life-sized standee of her to perch at my dealer booth at #midwestfurfest next month. The theme is Villainous Vacation so be sure to stop by and kiss her talons.

Wiping the floor with that prick Cuomo. Fuckin' nice. To all those Dem leaders that refused to endorse Mamdani: Fuck you. As soon as there's a progressive leader, the base you're so out of touch with is firing your asses.

I present to you, my Cramorant Form/Sona!
I commissioned the awesome @zecretcolors.bsky.social to draw him for me and he did an amazing job. I'm so happy with it! More Artworks of this Form of me will follow in the future.

I'm very eggcited for new shirts I've ordered! I've partnered w/TS Designs, a US company that utilizes local, fair-labor, environmentally-responsible sources. Using the QRC in each shirt, you can trace it all the way back to the farm, "from dirt to shirt!" I'll have these at #Furfest in December!

I was having a fun time this morning writing the big reveal about Pepro’s family background. It’ll knock your feathers off! Don’t know who Pepro is? Read Whiterock, first book in the Avian Age series. Second book, The Bonding, is on the way. aetusart.com/whiterock

TIL that "canvass" is spelled correctly, if you are referring to soliciting votes. I have a habit of crudifying words (canvas + ass = canvass) so I thought this invite to "canvass" the neighborhood was someone being silly on main.

Help me pick the next t-shirt design. After Discord and Patreon polls, I've narrowed it down to these 4 top runners. Pick your fav (even if you would never be caught dead wearing a weed shirt) and let me know (A, B, D, or F) in a comment below. Thanks for the assist!

Sched (and many other platforms) need to catch up with the times. I neither maintain nor promote any accounts on these SM platforms anymore. At least Sched has a freeform text description field where I can put my real socials.

It's not Pride Month anymore, but if you want to help out a poor gryphon author struggling with COVID right now....
Did you know patrons got a special variant cover of The Crackling Sea where Grenkin has his iconic eye patch?
It's true! And the ebook version with the eye patch is still available at the ebook and up levels at patreon.com/kvalenagle
As a bonus, you help out a trans author during Pride =)
