A Cat Answers Human Questions.
Dear humans,
The female is totally done with today, so you get to be tortured by yours truly. I’m so cute you don’t mind though, do you?
Suckers.
Some humans had questions for the female, but I will be answering them.
Q: Purple or Orange Yarn?
A: Both are equally fun to play with. Thank you for asking. (The female is working on a purple blanket at the moment, in case you were wondering. It looks awful, and I enjoy making fun of her pitiful efforts. She’s quite proud of it, so pretend it...

License to Kill/Wild Wolf now available for Preorder at Barnes & Nobles, a Q&A Session, and a picture of the humans in the icy wilds of Sunnyvale, California.
Dear humans,
Today, the female went curling. I am exposing evidence of her as an actual rather… ungroomed… human. Post falling on her ass several times while flinging a 45 pound stone across frozen water.
You may laugh. I certainly did. In case you are not certain which one the female is, she is wearing the What the Fox? shirt. Yes, the scruffy looking nerfherder is the male. She likes her male scruffy.
You can’t have my humans. They belong to me. I allow my sister to sometimes claim...

New Preorders, Chaos.
Dear humans,
Look at all of the zoom zooms lined up, waiting for their chance to be flying zoom zooms! The female has been hard at work doing everything EXCEPT write, and she feels like this line of zoom zooms waiting to go flying.
It took almost an hour for all the zoom zooms to the flying portion of their day. This was taken in Las Vegas when the female was flying with the male to return home where they belong.
(How dare they leave us earlier this month? Those fiends.)
The Female is an...December 22, 2019
Migraines suck, humans.
Dear humans,
In good news, Blood Bound is currently 52,300 words long. It is a good length novel. The female is having much fun.
In bad news, Blood Bound is feral, it releases in late January, and as such, she’s going to just have to commit to two novels because all of the things that she wants to do cannot be accomplished by 100,000 words.
What a pity.
The female is so sad about this. Honestly, she doesn’t even care about the preorder counts at this point. She loves Blood Bound. If she...

We like to tease humans. Yes, yes we do like to tease humans.
No context for you:
“They watch romantic comedies while eating ice cream?”
“You should not sound so exited about this.”
I couldn’t imagine men so confident in their masculinity they would go to a romantic comedy flick in a pack without shame. While eating their arch nemesis. “Like hell I shouldn’t! You’re the reason there are no decent single men left? You stole them, you turned them into vampires, and you keep them under lock and key. You’re wretched. No, you’re not just wretched. You are a...

Behind the Scenes: Blood Bound
Some books, like Steel Heart, are feral. Others, like Blood Bound, are unicorns.
The female still has a lot of work to do on the book, but she is really enjoying the work. Unlike all of her other books, she has been naming the chapters after funny or amusing lines from the chapter. Some are deliberately misleading, some are just purely representative of what can be found.
To entice you beautiful bastards into taking the dive and joining the female on her first adventure into a world filled...

Snippet: Blood Bound
Dear humans,
The female was left unattended with Blood Bound.
This is the result:
“Weres are a good one. It depends on their base species for them. Werewolves are common, and honestly, they’re all bark and little bite. You can make a werewolf happy with a promise to rub their belly while offering them a steak. A werecobra, on the other hand, would rather just eat you.”
Blood Bound: A Lowrance Vampires Novel
When the female is left unattended with a book, things get weird.
Werecobra weird.

Updates, Giveaways, Stuff. (The Furred & Frond Management is tired.)
Dear humans,
Today, we are so tired that we are not sharing a picture of our handsome selves. Instead, you get a picture of the female’s new fox pewter mug, which she is currently drinking water out of.
She is so tired she’s not capable of hitting the buttons on the whistle thing that makes water hot so she can make tea.
Yeah, it’s a day today.
In other news, the female went to the Dicken’s Faire in San Francisco yesterday, and she had a great time. She got a PINK tea pot when she did...
