#WriterShareWednesday My latest book is Sure Shot Stories: Tales of the Lady Huntsman (part of the Cobalt City Universe), with cover art by Luke Spooner/Carrion House. It's alternate 1940s-1950s pulp superhero short stories, with a female protagonist! amzn.to/4e9ly8q

Cover art depicting a woman with dark hair covered mostly by a green scarf, wearing a white blouse, with her arms crossed and a stern expression. Background is black and white buildings and rubble. Text reads: "Sure Shot Stories: Tales of the Lady Huntsman" at the top and "Dawn Vogel / A Cobalt City Universe Collection" at the bottom.

My Bon Odori outfit yesterday. Yukata from Etsy, obi frantically made yesterday morning because the ones I bought did not go well with the yukata! Had just picked up this lovely fabric on a whim, and it worked perfectly. I'll likely add embroidery to it at some point!

Purple Kiss (K-pop) show was last night, and I got my selfie with Swan (the youngest member and my personal fave!). Ring lights are SUPER cool, but they show off how much silver is hiding in my hair!

So delighted with the graphic for my story at the Manawaker Flash Fiction Podcast! www.manawaker.com/podcast/dont...

Fognarok, aka Foggy. He is a leisurely sun-seeking dragon posting as a cat. The belly is NOT a trap.

Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All, aka Stormy. Definitely a tiny dragon. Look at that pose.

I only look at my day-by-day cat calendar on Fridays, so I just found this one today. @seananmcguire.bsky.social you're cat famous (as though you weren't previously cat famous for your cat sneaking into luggage).
