Going Forward in 2023 (New Book announcement!)
3 years ago
With ten days left in January, it seems like an appropriate time to do my New Year’s Journal about my plans for this year. :D Better late than never!
Looking Back
First, a big thank you to everyone who bought my Caught by Cats novellas. I have more stories in this setting and others coming up this year, which comes to my next point:
Looking Forward
Over the last year I’ve been working on expanding the short story Predator Pretending into a full-on light novel with five new illustrations commissioned from
GrayGhost64 along with a couple old ones you can see in my gallery. The story is done and roughly 35k words long. It’s not the longest story I’ve done, and fell a bit short of my goal of a full 50k draft, but it feels like a milestone because I’ve written it all prior to uploading it.
I've decided on a new model for this and potentially other long books going forward as I want to share my work while also making some scratch for commissioning illustrations for future stories.
I will be uploading this book, She-Wolf On The Scene, in four parts here and other places over the next four weeks, one chapter at a time every Sunday. I will also have the entire book up on Gumroad and Lulu for purchase for those who don’t want to wait or would like to help support this and future illustrated books.
Lastly, I am putting together a polished and illustrated version of These Messages to go up sometime before the end of this year.
Once again, big thanks to everyone who's supported me thus far by buying my novellas. Special thanks to
Silberlynx and
HeckinEatcha as beta readers and
Ratafari for helping me adapt art into cover images, as well as a further thank you to
GrayGhost64 for doing so many art pieces for me on often short notice.
Chapter One of She-Wolf On The Scene goes up tomorrow, hope you all enjoy it!

Damn, you've been busy. Meanwhile I got 68 pages into a novel and forgot it existed for like two months.

Been there done that lol. I'm still trying to work my way up to writing a novel. Have found it helps to have a select couple of people to share ideas and drafts with.

Aye... I'd probably need to feel like the world was fleshed out enough to start sharing for feedback.
