“No! The Turkey ISN’T Done Yet!”
I made this inspired by 1950s sitcom moms, my love of vintage pulp art, and that trainwreck of horror and humor that is American Thanksgiving. :-)

I spear marshmallows on sticks. The ember fox watches as they toast above him.
He yips and gobbles one. I don’t mind. I share from the bag until it’s empty.
Then he curls up, nose under his fire-plume tail.
I sleep beside a friend’s warmth.
It’s magical.

Just a few hours left to get your stories in to the fantastic #SciFanSat magazine for this month.
I've just submitted a piece of flash fiction that is kind of a crossover and has two old friends, character wise, from different universes I've been writing... 👀

Some extra art for November’s upcoming #SciFanSat issue and its theme of FIRE! I made this one in July of last year, and thought it turned out pretty epic.

He thinks he’s suave in his Ray-Ban sunglasses.
“Sorry,” he grins, “I can’t lie, I dig hot chicks!”
“Uh-huh,” I nod.
He puts on welding gloves and reaches into his pet carrier. Seeing red, flaming little birds, I squee.
“Baby phoenixes!”
This guy *is* suave.

Now trying to work up the *third* concept for a story to submit for the 'Fire' issue of @scifansat.bsky.social... the others just didn't get anywhere 😒.
On a related note, does anyone know how to get forehead indentations out of a desk? Asking for a friend.

We knap flint until evening. The woman makes fine arrowheads, I’m impressed. She smiles at my half-done spearpoint.
I set wood. Placing a crystal, she sings a song of flame. Fire kindles. Sorcery! This woman surprises!
I offer the warmth of my arms.
We are no longer strangers.

A new fire crops up, dancing across a peaked rooftop and along the city’s skyline of half-timbered buildings.
Church bells toll as the flaming dragon leaps to the next gable, its long body a flaming arc.
It turns. It sees him:
