Settle Down, My Vacuum

Elaine to Quinn, gently holding his previously barking muzzle shut: “Settle down, my vacuum.” Then, she takes him by the collar, and they return to their important work, walking around the house together, “vacuuming.”

The Little Red Hen IN SPACE

I’m suddenly tempted to write “The Little Red Hen” as a piece of space opera starring an auburn avian alien.


I have at least five unfinished short stories, three unfinished novels, and a novella that I should be working on… So, of course, I started “The Auburn Avian Alien.”

Creating Furry Art at a Furry Con

I love furry cons. Where else will a big black dragon come up to you, take your hand, and pantomime how happy he is to meet you?


Just watching fursuits walk by and writing the next SPACE HOUNDS! at FurCon.

Salad

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the child started crying. I asked what was wrong, and she said, “I don’t like salad.” (There was not a salad in sight.)
