I haven't posted about my Agent Renault spy-fi series in a while... A secret agent moonlights as an aspiring poet in this fun and fast-paced galactic spy-fi series featuring dastardly villains, cloak and dagger intrigue, and a charming cast of alien characters. www.goodreads.com/series/37686...

A three-tiered vertical stacked set of images depicting a stellar backdrop with a figure in a jumpsuit and blaster that is sharply cropped. The top text reads spy thriller suspense meets space opera adventure. The second level contains a text that reads perfect for fans of Becky chambers and Murderbot, Star Wars Andor and the Mandalorian, Mission Impossible and Atomic Blonde. The bottom level displays three book covers with the words Agent Renault Spy-fi adventures. The book covers include Stellar Instinct, To Spy a Star, and Cosmic Widow.

Was working on a character sheet and impulsively typed this. 🤣

a list of terms on a character sheet that run vertical down the page. The list includes, gender, occupation, appearance, personality, flaws, etc.

Under occupation, it says "Unemployed... in GREENLAND" as a reference to the Princess Bride.

Guess who just sent his cover artist the specs/deets for an upcoming dark fantasy novel?

May the Fourth be with you all!

A small black-and-white dog sitting on the grass in a meadow with trees in the far background. There’s a small blue ball next to it. It’s mouth is open and it’s panting and having a grand old time.

In one of the rarest of moments, I actually managed to tire out Cricket. 🐶🤣

Picture of a small black-and-white dog lying on the grass with her tongue out and a ball in her lap. She speckled with spots of black on a white fur body. She looks extremely exhausted and yet elated.

All the years hosting bluebirds in boxes, never once have i seen them at the feeders. With the snowkrete, that's changed. They showed to join the throngs yesterday. Water's also a hot commodity out there-been making sure there's some available every day for all the critters. (photo credit in alt)
