My wife @kikivuli.bsky.social made Tuther for me for my birthday. Check out how awesome he is!
He's got his Sands outfit on: the hooded tunic, the loose fitting trousers, and his red belt-sash. <3
Eeeee!
And next to him, of course, the book he stars in, with a fennec-ears bookmark by my daughter!

Hey, check out this super cute bookmark. Crocheted! And posed with an appropriately hyena-y book.
My wife @kikivuli.bsky.social will have a DD table at AC with her crochet stuff, you should check it out. :) Oh, I'll also have books.

'Rafts' now has an AUDIOBOOK!
Amazing narration by Nico Janssen!
You can get it on Audible, or if you want a DRM-free version where Amazon doesn't take all my money, you can get it from my website for cheaper!

I also give discounts if you already have a print version of Rafts. :)

Oh wow, that's awful. I think I would have been less inclined to read LOTR had those been the covers.
The ones we had were these, which were super cool.
