I recently made a storybook all on my own (besides my cousin designing the cover art and my partner @magicalgrrrl helping to put all the pages together into an ebook).

ko-fi.com/s/a100cf0ae0

“Lost Kitten Finds a Way” is an illustrated book, about my experiences with homelessness and DV trauma, from the perspective of a cat (so it’s more palatable to a wider audience). It’s currently only available in ebook, on my Ko-Fi and Patreon. Hopefully sooner than later I’ll be in a position to order physical copies to send out.

For now, though, I’m just trying to meet my family’s basic needs (shelter, food, and meds) so I’d appreciate if anyone decides to get the book or simply buy me a coffee (on Ko-Fi). My partner talks more about our current situation on her page, too 🖤

And for anyone who would prefer to buy my book from a different billionaire (not Jeff Bezos), this link takes you to where you can buy the digital copy from Nook, Apple, Kobo, Smashwords, and other places. This will also take you to Bezos-land, both digital and paperback. One-stop shopping.

There was just a survey released (writtenwordmedia.com/we-asked-) showing authors, particularly indie authors, being wary of AI. I wonder if designing author logos and marketing artwork for materials like swag, buttons, stickers, etc, might be a tiny help, or even art-ifying AI-generated logos & marketing materials for indie authors. Good art is hard to find especially staying away form AI, from an author perspective!

Written Word Media · How Indie Authors Are Doing in 2025: Mid-Year Survey Results - Written Word Media0 0 0 0At Written Word Media, we believe that supporting authors starts with understanding them, really understanding them. That’s why we didn’t wait until year’s end to check in. This spring, we launched our 2025 Mid-Year Author Sentiment Survey to take the pulse of the indie author community. We asked writers across all income […]

A recent spate of op-eds on AI and the death of thinking convinced me to opine. Lacking the credentials to write something scholarly, I decided to do what I do better: being silly. Here's my latest blog post, a satirical take on the issue:

IT'S OUT!!! Digitally, on Amazon, at least. More platforms and the paperback coming this month.

Blamed for a toxin poisoning the air, Joe is leaving the Bay Area with his 18-month-old daughter. He's trapped in Oakland. Most of the city wants him dead.
