Doyle is a goober this #caturday
Doyle, a white and tan cat, lounges on top of the fridge belly up, head hanging over the side in front of pictures of old pets in costumes for our annual holiday card.

Turns out shutting down the government, cancelling SNAP payments, and raising health insurance price over an election cycle isn't a great idea! Keep the pressure on by only supporting small businesses around Black Friday!

The boys say it's a snuggle #caturday
Doyle (white and tan) sits next to Verne (black and gray) on a comfy blankie. They are curled up next to each other and Doyle looks at the camera.

Verne has teefs.
#cats
A close-up of a gray and black cat's face. He is asleep and one lip is pulled back just enough to show a few teefs. His nose is very boopable.

This one I have lots of fun with! I try to come at aliens from a completely different perspective. One of my favorite had trilateral symmetry, communicated by lightstrip, and five genders: male, female, caretaker, guardian, and pruner. Here's a commission I got done of one of them!
#TBBChat
An alien on a multicolored background. It has three legs and three arms in trilateral symmetry. It's wearing a flat circular hat, and instead of eyes, has a lightstrip that conveys colors.

For me, this might have to be the fjords of New Zealand. We got to see them up close from the deck of a ship, and it very much inspired some of the scenery in Physical Magic and Intent Magic, which take place on a world with fast-moving islands!

#TBBChat
A picture taken from the deck of a ship of the fjords of New Zealand. The green mountains are rising from the water and there are dramatic clouds overhead with rays of dappled sunlight.

Ace Pride week is almost over, but this bundle is still going! Get the whole bundle, or there are two smaller versions, all by #ace writers about ace stories.
Best of all it's not on the 'Zon so #indie authors get more profit!

You saw the fruit, and the juicing, now it's time for pomegranate jelly! Oh, and remember to tell your reps to fund healthcare and reopen the government!

Checked on the bees' winter stores today, as well as updating more on the new finance spreadsheet.
But most important, saw a ton of people while exercising my patriotic rights reminding people we have #NoKings!

What else do we do at Space Wizard? Why, keep bees, and make candles, jelly and mead, like any publisher! Did you think we just put out books?
