I hereby declare that all Couscousers should post sketches of their cats. If they don’t have cats, they should post sketches of my cat.
So here’s Tesla Kelty Garrity-Farago, as drawn by me after a few glasses of wine and many hours of watching her tear around the house being upset because I wouldn’t make it stop raining outside.
Part 2 of my story “The All-Night Truck Stop Polka Band” is now up at Strange Horizons! Look! How beautiful!

For the staff of Narbonics Labs, tampering in God’s domain is just another day at the office. Mad scientist Helen Narbon is ready to show all those fools, ably assisted by geeky lab technician Dave, rifle-toting intern Mell, and Artie the superintelligent gerbil. But Helen has secrets she keeps from the rest of the lab, and one of her experiments is about to wreak havok beyond her wildest dreams. Can love coexist with madness? Can the power of Science overcome common sense?

This month I’ve got a short story (prose, no pictures) up at the online sci-fi magazine Strange Horizons. Read the first half now!
For this month’s Skin Horse wallpaper, I did a pinup of the dudes to match the (mostly) lady pinup I drew last summer. Check it out!
