Our Doofus (our resident red-tailed hawk family) is back, with a new generation! (Technically they never left, as they nest in our big oak tree, but this is the time of year we get to see the juveniles derping around practicing flight.)

We had to remind the dogs to be chill with them yesterday, but this morning, Doofus older and Doofus younger were sharing a kill on the back deck and the dogs (and kids) all watched silently with no reminders. This is from like 10 feet away or less.

You can find The Backwards Knight in here as well! Check it out!

Speaking of @bigzaphod -- you might not know this about him, but he's a great table-top campaign idea generator. Basically our system is: he gives me an idea seed (possibly partially fleshed out, partially not) and I turn it into a campaign and DM for the kids.
Yesterday the boys groaned with laughter when they realized the quest was a scavenger hunt. They had a blast finding and collecting "treasures" (trash) for the tiny (HUGE), cute (MAGNIFICENT) dragon Jeff who really just wanted friends. 😂

@bigzaphod says I need to point out my specific book, which is
https://skaeth.itch.io/beneath-the-gods-tree

This is a #LowFantasy wilderness adventure with a bit of romance. It has #LGBTQ rep, #Disability rep, and #MentalHealth rep including: gay side characters, a non-binary tertiary character, main character anxiety rep, and disability also including a side-character who uses a wheelchair.

There's strong friendships & a strong sibling relationship, with tons of banter, but also a lot of classism and prejudice.

In a spot of good news, I finally finished this round of edits on the third book in my Stone Age epic science fantasy series! Now it gets sent to the probably-final round of betas, and my editor is already looking forward to getting it in a few months!

My wife has had this hobby project recently, where she’s been making a Mari Lwyd puppet, with a 3d print replica of the traditional horse’s skull as the base. For the first version this looks great, but she’s already planning adjustments for the next one!

Note: the Mari Lwyd is a south wales tradition dating back hundreds of years. You can find more about it on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mari_Lwyd
