Look at it! So cute! And it includes Lambchop and the Serious Courtship for anyone who wants that in print too. If I approve it, it should start getting distributed over the coming days.
Paperback copy of Ravenous held up in my pale little hand. Cover shows graphics of two men on a moonlit street. One man has horns and the other has wings.

I did also discover that the meme generator had Dr Spaceman meme templates so
Dr Spaceman from 30 Rock, except he's labeled RFK Jr and his advice is "have you tried swimming in sewage about it?"

I forgot to make my usual dumb characters memes this time! So here is a belated one for A Suitable Stray
images from 30 rock of Jack awkwardly but distantly trying to comfort a sick Liz Lemon by petting her with a broom and saying "there, there". Jack is labeled "Po" and Liz is labeled "Tiiran."

on a stained glass background, it shows an ebook and paperback copy of A Suitable Stray. It reads at the top: for when you need a story about an exhausted and half-feral librarian getting two boyfriends during the reign of an unstable king. Which maybe some of you do right now I don't know your life. -Further down it says: A Suitable Stray (For an Outguard and an Assistant) A Suitable 'Verse Book Four. May 6th!

on one hand it's kind of nice to know there is a medical reason for your brain fog and inability concentrate and it's not entirely stress from a hostile government takeover. on the other, it's still frustrating as hell. i have a book to edit, damn it.
the Mastershake "I am 30 or 40 years old and i do not need this" meme except it says: top text-me to my entire federal government and the bottom text says "i am severely iron deficient and i do not need this."

(As I said on Instagram, that is one whole month longer than it took for Fen to imprint on Lan like a duckling. A horny, scheming duckling.
a cartoonish crown and blue flower, with a banner that reads: Fen + Lan 4 evah. One whole month, baby!
