After an awesome but long day of selling books and talking furry fiction at Furvana, I’m having cherry garcia ice cream, blackberry kombucha, am surrounded by stuffed animals, and am finally starting the Queen Charlotte Bridgerton spin-off. That’s a good day!

Limited Kindle Release of Nexus Nine & The Necromouser
We’d like to announce a limited Kindle release of Mary E. Lowd’s books, Nexus Nine and The Necromouser and Other Magical Cats. Both of these books are primarily published by FurPlanet, but since the Kindle market was going unserved, we’ve filled in. Both books are already available in the Kindle store right now.
Each book has a shiny new cover for this limited release, but if you want physical copies, you’ll still need to get the FurPlanet editions.
We may have a few more releases like this coming up, so keep an eye out for them! Also, don’t forget that Hell Moon (Xeno-Spectre, Book 1) is coming out this Friday (9/8/23)!
Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 32: Earth
by Mary E. Lowd
An excerpt from Otters In Space 2: Jupiter, Deadly. If you’d prefer, you can start with Chapter 1, return to the previous chapter, or skip ahead.
The Jolly Barracuda docked at Deep Sky Anchor for the first time since Kipper had joined the crew. She watched the gray metal habitat rings of the rotating station approach on the main bridge’s viewscreen, and she remembered all the times she’d watched space fly by through one of the porthole windows elsewhere on the ship instead. She was sure that those windows were all crowded full of the pug faces of miserably wet Persians now, but she wasn’t among them. She was on the bridge, manning one of the stations. She had come a long way. Continue reading “Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 32: Earth”
The Yellow Rosebud
by Mary E. Lowd
September 5, 2019
The yellow rosebud holds a secret in its petals,
Like a promise,
On the tip of the tongue,
Unspoken,
Uncertain,
Waiting for the moment when trust blooms, Continue reading “The Yellow Rosebud”

Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 31: The Solar System
by Mary E. Lowd
An excerpt from Otters In Space 2: Jupiter, Deadly. If you’d prefer, you can start with Chapter 1, return to the previous chapter, or skip ahead.
The first of the Kipper Brighton: The Hero of Europa videos hit the sketchier parts of the interwebs before Kipper’s friends and family even knew if she’d survived the rescue mission to Europa. No one in the rest of the Solar System knew what was happening in orbit of Jupiter. Had the Jolly Barracuda succeeded? How many had they rescued? Or was the Jolly Barracuda just another ship smashed to pieces by the raptors? Continue reading “Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 31: The Solar System”
Plush Moth
State of mind: saw a picture of a plush moth on my computer screen and started talking directly to it like, “Hello there little one, who are you? What are you doing here?”
So… probably should stop trying to be useful for today and just focus on not ordering piles of plushies.
Cosmic and Miley
by Mary E. Lowd
A Deep Sky Anchor Original
Holly’s bedroom looked like a scene out of Roger Rabbit or one of those other movies that mix animation and traditional film styles to make it look like cartoon characters and normal human beings live in the same world. Holly knew there were a bunch more recent movies like that, but her parents mostly only let her watch movies that had come out years before she was even born. They weren’t subscribed to any streaming services, so everything they watched came from a huge wall of bookshelves filled with actual DVDs. Continue reading “Cosmic and Miley”
Types of Poem
I’m working on figuring out the order of the poems in my poetry book and have discovered the underlying truth about the nature of poems.
There are four fundamental kinds of poems: Continue reading “Types of Poem”
Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 30: Europa
by Mary E. Lowd
An excerpt from Otters In Space 2: Jupiter, Deadly. If you’d prefer, you can start with Chapter 1, return to the previous chapter, or skip ahead.
For all the responsibility hanging on her shoulders, Kipper stood uselessly in the dark, watching Emily’s spacesuit-wrapped tentacles fly around, working the panels. The glowing lights on the panels danced, and Kipper watched their reflections play across the bubble of helmet over Emily’s eyes. None of it meant anything to her, but clearly it meant something to Emily.
Kipper’s paws itched to sign questions at Emily: “What are you learning? What does it say? Can we use this base for anything?” But she kept her paws to herself, endeavoring to stay out of Emily’s way and keep from distracting her. It would do her no good to act like an impatient kitten, swatting at anything she saw just to evoke a reaction. Continue reading “Otters In Space 2 – Chapter 30: Europa”
