The plan is for this to be the first in a series of Regency romances focused on this cheesemaking family. Hurrah!

"When a decapitated body is found near the farm, Kate and Thomas find themselves at odds. Investigating the murder might bring dangerous attention to Thomas and Kate's family, but letting a murderer roam free may have even more dire consequences. To make things more complicated, a spark of mutual respect and desire kindles between lonely doctor and cheesemaker. But what future can they possibly build together, when old secrets threaten to destroy them both?"

I’m not exactly taking a break from Mastodon as much as I am taking a break from all but 1 social media platform, sigh.

I think I’ve missed a couple days! Must circle back. Today’s instagram transfer is one of my favorite illustrations I’ve ever done, from part 5 of Monsters.

I’ve been more or less too tired to go onto Instagram at all, which I guess is . . . good? but now I’m sitting in the dentist chair waiting to hear how mediocre my x-rays look, so I might as well post these process photos from an illustration from 2018.
