State of the TAM - 17th January
It’s snowing!
Right this minute.
A very exciting development - less so if it still lying tomorrow when I need to go out! - and so I’m giving today over to the Wolf Winter series!
But quick updates first! I am really tired of sleeping on an air mattress, but I have successfully done a NUMBER of things that I had been putting off. So go me! I have signed up for Tumblr again. I’ve not been on there in YEARS, so I need to get all my ducks in a row re: posting. But if you want to find me…
Pups are doing ok. Izzy is not impressed with snow!
Wolf Winter
The world ends not with a bang, but with a downpour. Tornadoes spin through the heart of London, New York cooks in a heat wave that melts tarmac, and Russia freezes under an ever-thickening layer of permafrost. People rally at first—organizing aid drops and evacuating populations—but the weather is only getting worse.
In Durham, mild-mannered academic Danny Fennick has battened down to sit out the storm. He grew up in the Scottish Highlands, so he’s seen harsh winters before. Besides, he has an advantage. He’s a werewolf. Or, to be precise, a weredog. Less impressive, but still useful.
Except the other werewolves don’t believe this is any ordinary winter, and they’re coming down over the Wall to mark their new territory. Including Danny’s ex, Jack--the Crown Prince Pup of the Numitor’s pack--and the prince's brother, who wants to kill him.
A wolf winter isn’t white. It’s red as blood.
Pupdate of the Week‘Cry Wolf’ by TA Moore is a Wolf Winter short story and a prequel to Dog Days. See Danny and Jack’s first meeting, back in Scotland under the disapproving eye of the Old Man.
Jax seems to be doing well! He’s definitely in good form, and is sick and tired of his short walks and being restrained. I had a boiler check today and he was VERY AGGRIEVED he couldn’t give the man all the kisses. One week left until we see how well the op worked.
Meanwhile Izzy was NOT impressed with her training class. She was spooked by all the other dogs (two whippets and five doodles) and was uninterested in walking clockwise around the hall. Maybe disappointed by the fact her mum didn’t know what direction clockwise was right off the bat *lol*. Hopefully she’ll be a bit more happy this week!
