I don't know what happens. It's just a mystery I don't want to solve...

Today's episode of reader's blow-by-blow commentary...

It's a personal goal of mine to keep readers guessing about what's going on as long as possible. It's tricky, since most of them love mystery books as much as I do, but I've managed to pull it off a couple of times so far.

A blow by blow reader commentary is the absolute best.

I think about this song lyric every time I open a relic of a manuscript. And it stays stuck in my head for at least a couple of hours after that.

It's so hard to be the main character sometimes....

Over the weekend was delighted to receive such a cute and jam-packed delivery from @salientbooks.bsky.social! Such care and attention to detail. Thank you, Jasmine! 🦝💚 Eager to curl up with @mark-engels.com's Werecats while I'm out of town! Stay tuned for a follow-up!

A lime green clamshell box open to display a variety of book-related goodies from Salient Books, including stickers, a personalized thank-you card, and a small brochure, most of which feature a racoon-esque mascot.

A book wrapped in dark green paper and tied with thin gold ribbon; slipped beneath the ribbon is a promotional bookmark for Salient Books. On the paper itself, "Thank you Tamara" is printed in white ink; there is also a racoon-esque mascot sticker, below which reads "You've added a happy ending to our day."

The back of the book wrapped in dark green paper, which is sealed on the fore-edge with an ornate black and gold thank-you sticker; two other cream and black thank-you stickers with Salient Books' mascot seal it at top and bottom.

A propped-up copy of Mark J. Engels' fantasy novel "Werecats Emergent", the cover of which features a dark green and blue forested background with a female figure dressed in black. The figure has tawny brown, speckled fur and clawed hands, and her face is not visible. In the foreground, pale text reads:

"Werecats Emergent
Book 1 of the Forest Exiles Saga
Mark J. Engels."
