I'm a writer by trade, a tabletop gamer by choice, and a gardener by upbringing. The world is full of wonder: I want to experience what's there and add some too.

Thanks to everyone who helped make the launch of my #dinosaur novel PLUG AND FEATHERS such a success.
Especially thankful to @denseblackhole.bsky.social for helping to promote it.
My novel cracked the top 100 in one of its categories. Here's a screenshot, of where I ranked among the gay erotica.

Why PLUG AND FEATHERS?
PLUG AND FEATHERS is the story of the complicated relationship of three people, how their trip into the world of dinosaurs forces them to address the unresolved issues between them.

Weird. In histories of #Spinosaurus reconstructions, this 1981 masterpiece by Richard Smolinski rarely gets mentioned. #dinosaur " #art "

Part of the reason I chose Virginia as my #coverartist for the #dinosaur books is all the wonderful bird art she does. For example, check out this amazing crane!

When it came time to put out the dinosaur books, I started looking for cover artists, I immediately thought of Virginia Hagans, a friend of mine who made this image that I use as the cover for my dinosaur group, Dinosaur Fantastica www.facebook.com/share/g/1F4e...

Promoting an event at my local (Denver, CO) comic book store that promotes small independent creators.
It doesn't surprise me that they're not on bsky--they barely maintain a FB presence, and their IG is gone. It wouldn't surprise me if they barely heard of Tik Tok.

I'm a sucker for $1 bin comics, especially with dinosaurs. Who is Captain Comet? Who cares--gimme the dinos!

My copy of The Land That Time Forgot is really boring, not like this 1963 copy with cover art by Roy Krenkel.
Getting more copies of books just to get better cover art seems like madness, but I would love to see if any of you have a cool edition you'd like to share.
