I am an author and an artist —this is my first mystery novel, so I did a wee trailer. Hope you think about picking up a copy!
(Many thanks to Neil Gaiman, who very kindly let me send one to him, which is sort of the highlight of the whole thing, to be honest. Joy springs from knowing it lurks somewhere in his house).
For Pride as a Special Treat™ I'm buying a BLAZE of my queer murder mystery novel! 🤩 PLEASE LOOK UPON IT!
I love cozy mysteries but there is a distinct lack of them in queer/furry spaces, so I wrote one 😌 You can find it on lovely indy press Furplanet at the link below! 4 illustrations and covers by @jayfitzmaurice
A Summer Vacation to Die For
Dr. Ino Reamer has a lot of plans for his summer vacation — relaxing, working out, trying to conquer the crushing ennui of his 30s. Solving a murder was not part of these plans. But when a colleague's grim demise very nearly ends Ino's tenure, the hyena can't help but apply the scientific method to his search for the truth. When a few suspicious characters take note of Ino's investigation, the case takes on a new urgency, and now Ino must crack the case before Finals Week becomes his final week! 😱

Poirot Aesthetics: The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb (S5Ep1)
"'You may think me a foolish, credulous woman, Monsieur Poirot, but I am afraid. Supposing that the spirit of the dead King is not appeased? Perhaps to you I seem to be talking nonsense--'
'No, indeed, Lady Willard,' said Poirot quickly. 'I, too, believe in the force of superstition, one of the greatest forces the world has ever known.'"
On Death in Paradise, the reason the detectives always catch their man is because of Harry! Hear me out.
Harry is a faerie creature
He’s unusually intelligent.
He’s not afraid of humans.
He still looks exactly the same after more than 13 years (he was already an adult when we first encountered him in series 1) google says geckos generally live 10-15yrs in the wild.
He is of a species that does not seem to exist in the Caribbean (at least not on Guadalupe, the island the show is filmed on) if at all.
He appears to be slightly unreal or uncanny (yes I know he’s CGI this post is meant to be funny)
The detectives (mostly) feed him for no reason other than kindness. They don’t expect favours in return, like people sometimes do when leaving food for the fae. They care for his health and well being, and consider him a friend.
This is also why Neville was framed for murder. He was cruel to Harry and trapped him and tried to evict him from his own home (it’s Harry’s shack IMO and the detectives are all lodgers). He later reconsiders and brings Harry home, which is why he’s still able to catch the murderers, but he was still punished for his actions.
I binged Murder She Wrote last night and Knives Out tonight! Enjoying a cozy Mystery Fall before all the Christmas craziness starts lol. It’s been a real Detective Year here as I’ve been watching Columbo and Midsummer Murders and multiple Holmes adaptations since January. Think I’ve found a new comfort genre!

A sapphic Sherlock Holmes book, but in space, and with an F/F second chance romance.
If you’re looking for a quick but engaging read, The Mimicking of Known Successes is a great choice. Whether you’re a sci-fi fan who thinks you could use a little mystery or a mystery fan who thinks you could possibly branch into sci-fi, I think you could come into this book from either angle and be satisfied.
