Daniel Ogden's Greek and Roman Necromancy was my primary source for the necromantic system, and I reread it prior to writing each book in the series.

Photo of two books. Daniel Ogden's Greek and Roman Necromancy is slid to the side to show off the mostly red and some yellow note tabs sticking out. Behind that is Grave Cold by Shannon Knight with the tagline Protect the Dead.

Catamorphosis is a thriller that starts with a catnapping. But it's also a horror about changing bodies, women's medical problems, longterm friendships, and doing what needs done. Amazon www.amazon.com/dp/B0GWMLC62... Kobo www.kobo.com/en/ebook/cat... Itch shannonknight.itch.io/catamorphosis

Catamorphosis, a novel by Shannon Knight. "So very original and bizarre. A very odd little tale that will drag you in and hold you under. I highly recommend." -Melissa Overby, NetGalley. Five stars.
Illustration by Candra Hope: realistic painting of a woman holding a cat. The woman is looking straight at you. She has glowing eyes. She's holding an enormous Maine coon. The background has some evergreens and is eerily stripey in a painterly style. The stripes help create the morph effect between the woman's bald head and a gray cat appearing behind her. The title careens around the illustration with the letters in all different sizes.

I was sitting outside studying while Little Bat did battle with the table and chairs. Edda, the mare, was lingering oddly in the driveway. I thought the hanging laundry could be freaking her out (nothing so scary as a flappy flap) when I realized someone was in the woods.

small gray cat contorted upside down around the red steel legs of a chair. She looks like she's doing a flip or something, and several fangs are showing, but her face is somewhat blurred.

Little Bat, a small gray cat, is in a different contorted position. She's wrapped around the table legs with all four paws and is perhaps in the process of biting the leg. Again, her face is slightly blurred from movement and fangs are showing.

Isa painted my Insiders cover and was great. You should hire her.

Reva must destroy her greatest enemy by granting his every wish. Come to a tropical island where the Mauli can tattoo wishes into reality, and the gods' attention has been drawn. books2read.com/WishGivers Itch shannonknight.itch.io/wish-givers

Can one woman take down a despot? Wish Givers by Shannon Knight. Illustration by Elizabeth Peiro includes a realistic painting of a Polynesian woman covered in tattoos in a dramatic pose. The perspective is very unusual. We're looking down on her , and she's looking up with a smile on her face even though she stands in a ring of fire with an upward spiral of sparkling ghosts around her. The ghosts are all islanders, too.

Similar to Trussardi's Apertivo Milanese Porta Nuova with the powdery citrus (bergamot) with heliotrope and vanilla in the background. Trussardi's citrus is brighter, with a little bitterness from the almonds, while Sorce's blood orange is a bit bitter itself. Apertivo makes me think Campari.

Apertivo Milanese Porta Nuova by Trussardi. Perfume card from Frangrantica. Bottle is opaque gray with a white label and a gold lid shaped like a greyhound's head. Accords in order: powdery, almond, vanilla, iris, fruity. Notes with photos: amaretto, iris, heliotrope, vanilla, bergamot, benzoin. More day than night. Six hour longevity, strong sillage. Seasons: autumn, spring and winter seem tied, summer is a shorter bar.

Shannon Knight@shannonknight· Jul 2

Sorce's Vampire Wife is a powdery blood orange. All the other notes blend and settle in the background. Makes me think of Eiko Ishioka's costume design with all the lace for Bram Stoker's Dracula. The actors were doused in white makeup, thus the powdery bit.

Vampire Wife by Sorce. Perfume card from Fragrantica. The glass bottle has a lace bow attached above a black label shaped like a tombstone with a bat shape beneath it. Main accords by intensity: powdery, citrus, anis, vanilla, soft spicy. 7 hour longevity, strong sillage. Notes shown with photos: blood orange, cake, powdery notes, star anise, heliotrope, skin musk. Day to night sliding bar graph somewhat more day than night. Seasons ranked: autumn, winter, spring, with only a small bar on summer.

Cover illustration by Isabeau Backhaus depicts a realistic painting of a young woman floating in space. She has short white hair with one long part, a strand in front of her left ear. She's wearing a plant suit and surrounded by a ring of plants with a nebula in the background. The colors are understated and the entire image creates a sense of awe.

Catamorphosis a novel by Shannon Knight. "Always good to see more ass kicked than expected." -Paul Preston, NetGalley
Cover illustration by Candra Hope depicts a realistic painting of a woman in a T-shirt holding a large, ginger tabby that appears to be a Maine Coon. The woman's head is bald, her eyes are glowing, and a gray cat is morphing from behind her head. It's rather eerie.

My dear cat died, and I was looking at cats at the Oregon Humane Society where I later got Little Bat. But Otto was the name of this cat who was up for adoption at the time. His name also made me think of A Man Called Ove, which was turned into a Man Called Otto in the American remake.

Catamorphosis a novel by Shannon Knight.
"I really enjoyed the way Shannon Knight wrote this and used the cat element in this book, it had that plot that I was hoping for and enjoyed getting to know Jasmine. The overall storyline was so well written and enjoyed the concept of this. The characters were realistic and had that overall feel that I was looking for. I'm excited to read more from Shannon Knight as this was really well written." -kmcleer. 5 stars.

Happy Summer Solstice! I'm wearing Sorce's This Is Not a Love Spell and a short-sleeve, cherry-print wrap-dress today, so I'm as cute as Little Bat as we hang out on this longest day.

Frangrantica perfume card for This Is Not a Love Spell by Sorce. Main accords: sweet, fruity, violet, vanilla, powdery. Notes: blueberry, violet, sugar, vanilla, ivy, lavender. Strong sillage, six-hour longevity. More for day than night. More for Spring and Summer than Autumn or Winter. The bottle shown is the old version. (The new one looks better.)

Shannon Knight@shannonknight· Jun 20

I'm trying Sorce's Serpentine today. The opening is very cardamom-forward and green with a honey sweetness that keeps it from smelling like ye olde male-coded spice bomb. Then the wood and balsam start coming forward. There's less fig than I expected.

Fragrantica perfume card for Serpentine by Sorce for women and men. Bottle image has a snake design on the front. Main accords shown in a bar chart: woody, warm spicy, sweet, honey, fruity. Fragrance longevity 7 hours, strong sillage. Sliding bar chart for day and night pretty equal, maybe slightly more day. Note box with photos: cardamom, honey, fig, Peru balsam, fig leaf, cedar. Season bar chart more autumn followed by winter and spring with summer the smallest bar.

Shannon Knight@shannonknight· Jun 19

I bought a little box of samples from Sorce. I love the sound of Sorce's scent combos, and their magical marketing style is fun. "Sorce" is shortened from "Sorcellerie Apothecary," which is a great idea because most Americans don't French well at all!
