@thisisninaleon What about queerplatonic romantasy? 👀

@aidenschmaiden The big question is... do they have a keel bone for their flight muscles to attach to? 🤔

@ay_chao Oooooooh 👀

Ah, the joys of hitting send on an important email then just sitting there staring at your phone for the next few minutes, hoping desperately that you haven't mucked everything up 🤣

@AJWhiteAuthor You had me at autistic kid... and then again at pissing off transphobes! *rushes to add to tbr pile*

@Steph_Wsn @LydiaRSilver @HarperCollinsCh Congratulations!! Sounds like fabulous read. I can't wait! 😁

Creature artist problems: when you put a mask on to ride public transport and discover it somehow has a little stray faux fur on the inside.

Which is now in your mouth 🫠

Spring has sprung and the wildflowers are blooming!

...and the wind gusts are strong enough to knock you off your bike.

Thanks Wellington 🤣

And in case anyone is curious, no, I should not be starting the WOW costume yet. I SHOULD be making monsters.
But it's so fun!!
And if I start now, maybe 300 hand-cut felt feathers won't seem so tedious?

[Sonja Howard is agented (and making monsters) @Sonsational925]

Working on some super fun projects at the moment!
- Making monsters for Armageddon Con
- Querying a novel + writing the sequel, 'cause I love the world & can't stand to be away from it
- World of Wearable Arts 2024 comp! I've got so many feathers to make...

Alright. Time to learn to twitter. And announce that I'm querying my YA Fantasy novel!

It's full of fantasy creatures, queer AF, and has an autistic main character who resurrects animals and fights poachers.

Early days, but I'm hopeful!

@teambkmrk @yalc_uk @JuliaTuffs @kateelizweston @AliceOseman I don't suppose there's a way to pay for a absentee book signing? Would love to get a signed copy of loveless but stranded in New Zealand 😅

What do you call a group of rat dragons? A scurry? A flock? A mischief?

It has just hit me that there is an Armageddon con every second month from now until the end of the year! I better get sculpting!

Anyway, meet the FloOfs! (Floof still to be added!)
