when loneliness feels
like leaving, the place I love
a refuge no more

A photograph of a dock overlooking a misty lake. Two chairs sit empty on the dock. An American flag lies limp and destitute upon a flagpole.

What am I reading? A Psalm for the Wild Built, by Becky Chambers! A cozy solarpunk story of robots, tea, and finding comfort in one another.

Kiria Adrift: Space Opera Mystery. STAR TREX x FINAL ARCHITECTURE. When the new homeworld of the Kirian is destroyed, a scientist is held responsible. His son, a starship captain, always believed that his father deserved the blame. But new evidence revealed on his father’s deathbed sends everything into question. With the help of a distant ancestor, he must put the lives of himself and his crew on the line to save his species and prove his father’s innocence.

Important to note that I am NOT an artist... but here's a character from my sci-fi debut: Sarni! She's the engineer of my little starship crew, and has quite the sweet tooth. Her people are known as the B'dou: four-armed steampunk red pandas with a penchant for tinkering.

hand drawings of a bipedal red panda with four arms, in a variety of poses. in one pose she holds a doughnut, in another she attempts (unsuccessfully) to appear intimidating in a mirror. In another she hangs from the arm of a friend by her tail, sleeping.

What am I reading? The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi, by Shannon Chakraborty! Pirates, magic, a mother's love- and an incredible character voice.
