Verne and Doyle are peacefully coexisting, at least for now, this #caturday

Doyle, a white and tan cat, has his head towards the cat perch stand. Verne, a black and gray cat, is on the same perch facing forward.

The Lesbians in Space audiobook campaign is funded, and on its way to stretch goals! Also made some progress on the new developmental edit. And, the new announcement is that we have enamel pins for both Lesbians in Space anthologies! They're available in the campaign... #amediting #amwriting

Made another batch of muscadine jelly today, and I think there's enough for one more large batch. Also worked some more one the new developmental edit commission. Almost a third done with this one. #amediting #amwriting

Nine half-pint jars of muscadine jelly. The stove light is reflecting through the jars, showing the deep burgundy color of the final result.
