Being brave and spraying some book edges. What do we think of the metallic silver? Should I do black instead?

You can request he sign a book that you purchase from my website. The paint is animal safe and he never signs a book if he doesn't want to. If he's having an off day we wait until the next day. He geta excited when he sees my book because he thinks he's going to be paid churu.

Niko loves signing books because he gets paid 1 churu for each book. Sadly he had only 1 book to sign. He was very disappointed. Help a starving artist, request a signature from Niko. He dreams of daily churu payments.

Everyone needs a Greer. In my humble opinion.

I'm glad it worked! Even more glad you enjoyed Greer. He has some big roles to play in the series.

I can assure you the favor is not something Strider will like. πŸ˜‚

πŸ”– I’ve been reading two books more-or-less in parallel for the past wee while.

Yesterday I finished one, and today I completed @kaagardwriting.bsky.social’s β€œThe Hunter”, a story of a very good 🐺 whom I recall featured in a squiggly lines diagram describing it! πŸ˜„

Would people be interested I'm copies of The Hunter signed by Niko?

He is paid in churu for each signature.

Inside β€œThe Hunter” where we can see the drawing of a feather at the chapter heading page for β€œChapter 2 - The Trapped Thief”.

The back of β€œThe Hunter” where the blurb reads as follows:

STRIDER IS CONTENT TO DIE...
After 50 years, his revenge is complete and his purpose fulfilled. When a teenager steals the Hunter's sword, his wolf companion Greer sees a way to help them both: in convincing Strider to escort the girl home safely, there's hope his friend might find the will to keep on living - to keep on fighting.
But this is no ordinary job. His young employer is deeply entangled in a dark plot that threatens her and her fiefdom.
Strider must employ his magic and battle training to ensure their survival against soldiers and mercenaries out to claim their bounty.
Can these unlikely allies find a way to survive, or will their differences and secrets destroy them all?

πŸ“– β€œThe Hunter” by @kaagardwriting.bsky.social was picked out of a line-up for me by @palmerpickering.bsky.social.

It’s got a fabulous cover and some inner artworks that appear to be chapter-specific.

So far I am getting to know the Hunter, a Dire Wolf, and a Thief.

If you can't donate just spreading the word would be a huge help.

I hate asking for it but I'm going to do everything I can for little Cocoa.
If anyone is able to donate I have a ko-fi setup specifically for the cats. Any donations will go towards paying for Cocoa's proceedure and recovery.

Cocoa has developed a lump on her flank. I think it was from the rabies vaccine just like what happened to Saber. The vet is going to have to surgically remove it for a biopsy and I don't have the funds needed to pay for it. The longer we wait the higher the risk to her leg and life. I need help.

One of my absolute favorite reads so far in my last year! The Hunter by @kaagardwriting.bsky.social! review on @sffinsiders.com in the comments!

An absolutely awesome story, with probably the best animal companion since….honestly maybe ever. And the way it was written was beautiful. A must read!

She is very lucky she's cute. 🀣 I've scrubbed the room tip to bottom and it still smells. She was very good for her bath though!

To the amazing person who bought a book box. I am sorry I couldn't ship it today. I got off work to find Cocoa had had a diarrhea explosion. She not only covered herself & her entire room, she then escaped her room & wouldn’t let me catch her as she spread it everywhere. πŸ₯² Pray for me. πŸ’€πŸ’€
