My 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!!

Yes, 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

Last 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

Another 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.

I 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.

Driving 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...

It'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.

Haha. I was thinking how great it would be in our backyard, but it would overpower the property and our dog would pee on it!

This 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.

I'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.

I 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

Thanks 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.

Hi all. My novel THE CATALYST is up on NetGalley! If you enjoy near-future science fiction, genetic engineering, mystery, and a touch of body horror, I hope you'll take a look.

Weekly 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

Lion – 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

I 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

Fear 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
