Last night was the first full moon of summer or the strawberry moon, marking around when strawberries ripen.
So please be sure to kiss your strawberry finch girlfriend if you forgot last night.
(She wants to be summer friends, but she's too shy to ask you.)

This is one of my favorite interior art pieces from Brenda Lyons, who always knocks them out of the park. From Opinicus, Book 7.
The Silkmouth Pride (jaguarundi + cave swiftlet gryphons) facing off against a titanoboa.
While I'm as much a fan of giant snake movies as the next girl, I really liked getting to write cave swiftlet gryphons. Cave swiftlets produce silk from their mouths, which is actually where the nests for bird's nest soup comes from. To help them hold onto cave walls, their tail feathers are very long, and the feathery part stops about halfway down, leaving a vicious spike to dig into the stone.
Combine those into something gryphon-sized, and you've got quite the critter! There weren't any good photos of cave swiftlet tail spikes online, so I reached out to Oriana Pokorny, an ornithologist friend, who was able to provide some for reference. (Though if you look up chimney swifts, you can see a less vicious version. Bristlespine from later books is a chimney swift gryphon.)
You can read or listen to Opinicus on most stores, libraries, through my Patron, or on Itch. Here's the Books2Read link that has most of the stores on it: https://books2read.com/opinicus
Empty outposts line the old kjarr trails; flickering lights fill the bog. A strange chittering comes from abandoned turtle dens, and the locals warn against eating the meat of animals caught along the coast. (Whisper by @merteazy)
There we go =] With Audible, I believe Pridelord's audiobook is up on most stores/libraries. Yay! https://www.audible.com/pd/B0DCGTX3QN
One of my favorite parts of a book release is all of the new fan art that comes with it! The first two here are from @flamsinger, who drew them after Opinicus released. The other six are Flam continuing on while reading Pridelord. I love the seraph's pose and movement, especially in flight.
There's a little pterosaur, a little noodle dragon, and a lot of microraptor in the design. I was a little shy about sharing all of the seraph art before Opinicus released, but now that most fans have read Opinicus, maybe I should go back and highlight some of the best fan art Emin, the Seraph King, has received these last two years between books!

Every time I see the chapter headers for Younce and the taiga gryphons, I think to myself: "That'd make a great sticker in pink."
Kittrel/YoteNotes does the chapter headers and ornamented scene breaks for GryphIns and always does a great job =] Pridelord has a couple of new ones coming up.
Mronk!
I'm lucky that I have an audiobook narrator who loves birds so he'll see a skraark, oo-awk, or aqesgiq and know it's a specific bird's call.
I would not blame another narrator for seeing a ptarmigan gryphon go aqesgiq and thinking, "I'm not saying that."
Pridelord Updates: Copy edits are complete, proofreading is 50% complete. Once those are done, it'll go into audiobook production and patrons will get their ebook copies! And I will go back to writing Saberbeak, which has 37k words so far.
