Hello, fellow cat-fiends (...er...tolleraters of cat-fiends).

Above, you see Mochi the domestic house-leopard, lounging upon his branch (chair cushion). Mochi is a Japanese Bobtail cat. They have naturally short, corkscrew tails that are as unique as a human fingerprint. Mochi's tail is shaped like a comma. Taro's (his brother) is shaped liked a question mark. You can tell if you feel the bone underneath. However, the end result just looks like a bunny rabbit pomp-pomp floof. Behold the floof!

My cats have an instagram if you just can't get enough of them.

Did I name a creasia cat after Mochi in this ill-advised, entirely for-fun Hunters universe book I'm writing? Yes. Yes, I did. It's far from the most self-indulgent thing about that book. Sue me. Am I going to name a cat-god after Nim in the Sleipnir-verse books? Yes, I am. If you can't do these things, why be an author?

So, anyway, if you somehow missed the memo that I'm writing the third new Hunters universe novel/novella, I am. On Patreon. The first one (not explicit) is currently at the $1 level. The other two (so explicit) are at the $5 level. They're tagged. They'll come down off Patreon when I get around to publishing them somewhere else. I'm 20K words into the third one. I think it'll be about 80K words. The story has now got more of Storm than I expected and quite a bit about the highland curbs. Also Lyndi, Caraca, Nadine, Tollee, and everybody's kids. But mostly Roup and Halvery and Arcove. They are -

Lullaby
Monthly Distraction
Arcove's Bright Side

All of these build on this novel. They will not make sense to you without it.

Animal stories are a hard-pass for you? Well, here's something else. Books 1-4 of The Pirates of Wefrvain series are live as of last week in ebook and paper. Audio to follow sometime this year. (No, I can't stop you from grabbing the audio in its current form. But don't.)

This series is the source of all those short stories I posted over the last six months or so. It's a big, sprawling epic, with lots of LGBT content. It goes to some very dark places, but I promise happy endings if you stick with me. The final book, Cormorant, is currently being fumigated for typos. It will be out no later than Dec 15 and probably middle of November.

These books and stories used to be spread across 3 different series, plus my Patreon. In order to avoid confusion, I've created a helpful blog post showing the exact contents of each book in the simplified series. Everything is in these 5 books, people. Everything that used to be in 11 books.

Finally, a heads up that my Patreon reached a new reward tier, so I'm asking fans to vote on a universe for reward art. Once we settle on a universe, we'll move on to voting on specific characters. Right now, Panamindorah is winning (vs Shattered Sea or Hunters Universe).

Yours, an author with several spinning plates,
Abbie
