  • June 2025 Update – Kickstarters, Anthologies and The Voice of Dog

    It has been a very quiet month, as Summer tends to be. The office gets rather hot and the sunshine often tempts me outside.

  • April 2025 Update – Go Fourth and a New Writing Group

    I have been away a lot in April, so the main focus has been editing the five short stories I’m currently working on. I did submit a story to my first non-furry anthology in the middle of the month, while I am aiming to finish a couple of these five stories before I travel back…
