Some advance notice that I will be largely away during the first two weeks of November at least. This won't affect ebook sales, but it will mean that print book sales won't be actioned during this time.

If you're thinking of picking up any of our print books, please do so this month!

Time moves on and so does the nature of storytelling.

The written word emerges to tell tales of civilization, of the earliest kingdoms and empires, of great deeds and terrible disasters. The world may not be so young, but the stories are no less compelling.

Reading The Elancia Chronicles by Leilani Wilson and Emma Carruthers (published by @tfpublishing.bsky.social) and I would just like to share this epic friendship moment. ;-;

#FurryWriting

The cover of the book Elancia Chronicles Symphony of Shifting Tides, depicting a large cast of anthropomorphic animal characters. The most prominent one is a purple and blue fox dresses in a sailors coat and bandanna. He has has a revolver with a bayonet on it.

A passage from the book that says the following: Verse felt like a freak being purple. He knew what the others had thought of him before they left. His sensitivity wasn't lost on Xan. The rabbit dyed himself green to match Verse's purple. "So we can both be fuckin' weirdos."

It was not - it was a weird thing going on with the software I was using I didn't pick up until posting. The correct typography is now on the website version and I curse the lack of edit options!

Here’s my handsome snippet of the cover art for The Wideness of the World, an upcoming anthology from @tfpublishing.bsky.social.

Inside, you’ll find my story “The King’s Emissary” — a tale of intrigue, diplomacy, and dangerous desires set in Safavid Persia.

I can’t wait for y'all to read it! 🥰

Keep your eyes peeled for something from the Furry Historical Fiction Society in the next... week or so-ish, if I've understood right.

In the meantime... what could this be?
