The spring showers have bloomed flowers, and behind those clouds is the warming sun and beautiful rainbows! Welcome to June, everyfur! And happy Pride Month! Don’t forget that we have many places to submit LGBT+ stories, like Transcendent Fiction Publishing! Though there are many markets below that you can submit to, gathered up by our new Markets Manager, Chase Anderson! We want to thank Scribbles Cheetah for all the hard work they’ve done during their time as the Markets Manager. They have been a big help, and continue to be one as they help out Chase! I’ve left a link below to their blog so you can all check out their works!

We’ve made it through another month, and now we’re in a new one with exciting news! The 2025 Cóyotl Awards video is up on the Furry Film Burrow Youtube channel! In the link that is below, you can watch as Rugger and I host the awards! I couldn’t be there in person, so, I have been transformed into a well-dressed cow for that video! Enjoy the video, and congratulations once again to the winners!

As for me, I’ve been working hard both with my day job and my books! Hammering away at editing and rewriting. It’s tough, but I’m getting through it! Next week, I’ll be heading to Tennessee and using that as my writing retreat! Hoping to keep my focus on my WIP and my WIP alone! Hoping! Unless the arcade machine distracts me… Mappy is a fun game! (And he’s a cute mouse!)

Thanks for reading! Don’t stop writing— you can do this! Yes, I’m talking to the beautiful writer behind that screen! Write and show the world your creativity! Make sure to celebrate the successes of others as well!
