Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 08/10/2026My friend, the amazing Trond E Hildahl, who co-narrated my novel "The Catalyst for its MetaStellar weekly serialization, is behind this anthology. He is the editor and publisher. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy. Other friends have essays and poems inside its pages. RAGE ON, Good Women!! 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yes, yes, you did, kind Amazon reviewer. And now anyone can read it. Either online, serialized in MetaStellar Magazine, or you can buy your own copy and scribble thoughts and editorials in the margins. #SciFi #BioTechThriller @metastellar.bsky.social 020
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Oh, yay! Maura is a fabulous writer. This is sure to be a great collection. I can’t wait to read it! 011
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Last call for The Catalyst on NetGalley! Today is the final day to request a digital review copy. If genetically modified humans, murder, conspiracy, and things going very wrong with DNA sound like your kind of read, now's your chance. NetGalley:https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/888531 243
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Another image from the novel's serialization. I loved using Randall's anachronistic wardrobe pieces like this pocket watch. So out of place in The Catalyst's world. 000
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I hate it when movies/TV shows put their protagonists in white outfits that never get dirty even during the bloodiest battles. I vow that my pro/antagonists will get dirty. And yes, this pic looks like it could be out of The Catalyst, but I took it at an event at the L.A. Zoo a couple of years ago. 000
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Driving home from W. L.A. today, and I saw a "WE BUY SOULS" sign posted on a telephone pole. We buy cars, house, etc., paper the landscape. I loved the whimsy and statement made by artist Rabi Torres. There's a working phone number to call... 030
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 25/09/2026It's true! John is a treasure worthy of several dragons. I look forward to seeing him tomorrow. 011
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It's Tuesday, so here's another picture from the series I drew for the novel's serialization. It's fun revisiting them, wondering how I managed to eke out new ones for 24 weeks in a row! This is for Kenneth's final appearance in the novel. #TeamKat. 001

Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Haha. I was thinking how great it would be in our backyard, but it would overpower the property and our dog would pee on it! 100
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026This is a portrait of Kenneth Krause who has a small but vital role in the novel. Making new images each week reminded how valuable deadlines are and that the picture in my mind remains a far cry from the finished product. So sharing them meant letting go of perfection and accepting good enough. 000
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm happy to hear they are still on the move. I know the sold a bunch at the end of the tour here, so they must keep making new ones. 100
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 12/09/2026We saw a traveling herd of these elephants last year. So beautiful!! 110
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I love animals and have always been surrounded by a menagerie. I even worked at a zoo with a variety of animals used in educational programs. Still, I don't think I'd want to mutate into one. How about you? Would you want to add animal DNA to your body? If so, what animal? #BioTechThriller #SciFi 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026#Worldcon with Linda D. Addison. I was thrilled to meet the last Magpie poet I hadn't met IRL. We're holding our two collections of poetry written with Consuelo Flores, @elizabethwong.bsky.social @eeking.bsky.social @nytebird45.bsky.social #PoetryRocks 330
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Thanks so much for sharing Maura. The book is actually already out because in my world, I seem to do everything backwards! But I want to get it out where more people could find it. 010

She gave us each a tiny, knitted animal. Mine reminds me of my cat Nubs, who also sits on my desk a lot. @jenniferhudak.bsky.social #WorldCon 151
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Weekly drawings really challenged me. I don't have the skill set to knock things out fast, and I struggle with vision vs. what I can actually create. Also, creation vs. the story's description of the characters. Ricky is a minor character, but I'd like to tackle a drawing of him again. #TeamKat 000
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I'm hoping to attend a couple of your panels over the weekend! 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 25/08/2026I made twenty-five different images for the novel's serialization. A flashcard vision of the story. This one is number seven. #TeamKat #SciFi #BioTechThriller #Fantasy #Horror @metastellar.bsky.social 000
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Top hat? Gloves? Sci-Fi? What's going on? Find out by diving into the story. The Catalyst go #TeamKat! @metastellar.bsky.social #SciFi #BioTechThriller 041
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Feather – Another quiet drawing that appears normal, but something is lurking beneath the pool’s surface. #TeamKat #SciFi #BioThriller 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Ronnie Gilbert stayed with us for a few months when I was a child. 110
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Lion – I loved making this piece. I think it’s my most successful mutation, and it also took the most time to create. He’s a minor character but the best pick for the week! #SciFi #BioThriller #Fantasy #Horror 020
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 28/07/2026I loved making this week’s image. Originally done with colored pencils on black paper, I then uploaded it to Procreate where I finalized it for the magazine. Here I used Canva make the promo. DNA plays a major role in the story, as does its mutation. @metastellar.bsky.social #SciFi #BioThriller 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Fear not! No cats were injured in the making of this picture. Genome was shy about showing his face and feathers. Each week of the serialization, I created an image inspired by something I hoped piqued curiosity without giving anything away. @metastellar.bsky.social #SciFi #BioTechThriller 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 18/07/2026We are excited and delighted to announce that our second collection is out now from Broadstone Books. They've been such a supportive publisher. Thank you, Larry. And I love my Magpie Poetry-Goddesses. @eeking.bsky.social @elizabethwong.bsky.social @nytebird45.bsky.social 110
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Thank Claudias (squared?). I hope you both enjoy it!! Thanks for your support. 020
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 15/07/2026Great article, and I loved seeing Eugenia Triantafyllou and Avra Margariti mentioned. 010
Andrea @andreagoyan.bsky.social · 13/07/2026One of my favorite illustrations from "The Catalyst." I wanted to mirror the novel's weekly serialization without giving too much away. @metastellar.bsky.social #BioTechThriller #GeneticEngineering #SciFi #Fantasy 000
