The Claws of the Ounce 🫀

Ash lives life under the premise that she can’t trust herself. Her transformation into a snow wereleopard only seems to confirm this… or maybe not?

Coming out Dec 4! Preorder here: parisvivian.itch.io/the-claws-of-the-ounce

A promo graphic for my novel The Claws of the Ounce. In the centre is the cover (drawn by me), showing a bunch of papers on a desk. On the top paper is a picture of a snow leopard-like creature looking fearfully at the viewer as she crushes a waxing gibbous moon (one of a long line of moons) under her front paw. Around the cover are several arrows with the following labels: Werefelines. C-PTSD & anxiety rep. Breaking cycles. Carni-cuisine. Cool emo/goth roommate. Carrying around a bag of your own shed teeth. Shady researchers. South Ontario setting.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

A graphic. On the left is the cover of my novel The Claws of the Ounce. It shows a snow leopard creature crushing a nearly full moon with one paw, looking nervously on the viewer. In the background are a few research papers. On the right is text reading: The lunar cycle isn’t the one you should watch out for… When Ash turns into a snow wereleopard, she supposes it’s not unfitting. She already knows she’s a monster; it’s what her parents told her, what an event in her younger years appeared to prove. The only responsible thing to do is to cage herself. Right? Except she’s not the only one… and her falling into the service of the man who treats her “right” will endanger them all. Werefelines, C-PTSD and anxiety rep, shady researchers, recovery arc, bag of teeth, carni-cuisine, South ON setting, cool goth-y roommate.

I genuinely can’t believe I’m at 27/29 chapters of *final edits* for The Claws of the Ounce. Two more chapters (two more days), some formatting, and I’ll be good to go (see, right in time!)

I love this photo of a male ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) by Charles J. Sharp because it looks like it's mid-ballet. The 'danseur noble' takes the stage.

'Ocellated' is from Latin 'ocellus' meaning "little eye", referring to the eye-like spots on the tail feathers...

(📷: Charles J. Sharp)
A male ocellated turkey appears to dance among the fallen leaves of well-cleared forest. It has a light blue head, with lumpy yellow 'eyebrows', iridescent and many-colored tail similar to a peacock's, and dark body feathers lined with yellow-gold coloration, which gives them a gilded look.

Consider buying a reader that's not a Kindle. Kobo readers are a good quality, connect to Overdrive, and can easily have epubs loaded on them from anywhere. But any Android reader can install the e-reader apps of every platform.

I feel Kobo Plus is a great solution. It doesn't require exclusivity, so it's cost free for authors to enroll, whereas for readers it's only eight bucks a month. But it's so much less popular. Readers won't come if the catalog isn't as big, but writers won't abandon KU if the readers aren't there.

I don't think we're going to have a successful Amazon boycott till we break their monopoly on indie books.

They have a clever strategy to build their monopoly, which any functional government would have banned: if you want your indie book listed in Kindle Unlimited, you have to be exclusive. 🧵

Literally buying one copy of a book at your local indie bookstore can mean the difference in whether they buy future books from that author.

I should probably make a Carrd or something for my books. Linking the Kobo links one by one in posts is going to become unmanageable once TCotO is out (it’s *already* causing difficulties with the character limit).

(Considered Books2Read, but it doesn’t have Itch as an automatic option.)
