Cat time cat time cat time
A longhair tricolor point cat with blue eyes sitting on a leafy table runner next to a purple drink in a Starbucks cup. She is looking directly into the camera. A longhair tricolor point cat spread out on her back between my thigh and some black and white pillows. A longhair tricolor cat with blue eyes standing on her paperwork on a table.

Speaking of my cover artist! Check out the beta I've been using on my revision copy.
This thing is really coming into focus. I hope you're ready for a genderfucky and poisonously good time.

There's a room at convergence station that makes me cry.
It's the bird room.

Throwback to the coolest specimen I got to handle when I worked for the university museum. This guy was huge and definitely had some kind of hormonal problem.

A book cover for Dogstar by Icarus Blake depicting two men lit in neon. The taller man is wearing a suit with slicked back hair and grabbing the shorter man's wrist. The shorter man is wearing a white t-shirt and has dark skin and a mullet. They look like they are leaning in for a kiss.
