“When space poachers release Earth animals on an alien world, threatening a fragile new alliance, they anger the wrong people. A veterinarian, an accountant, and a furious sign-language-fluent gorilla are coming for them.”
Robin enjoys being one of the only humans around: an exotic outsider, strange and tall, with no shell and only two arms. Consulting for locals who want to keep Earth pets is a fine job. But when a swarm of rabbits invade town and humanity is blamed, everything unravels.
If Robin wants to save the alliance between two planets — and keep from getting sent home in disgrace — she has to prove that a powerful crime ring is behind the crisis. Luckily for her, she makes friends who are eager to help: from planetside, from the nearby space station, and recently escaped from the poacher’s ship.
Those poachers may be bug aliens with an excellent range of vision, but they won’t see this coming.

Img ID: the cover of the sci-fi novel “A Swift Kick to the Thorax.” It features a veterinarian’s prescription pad floating in space, with the title written in the prescription area. A pen floats behind it and a chunk has been bitten out of the pad.

Available everywhere! With many short stories to go with it, here on the good ol’ hellsite. And there’s plenty more where those came from!
Sadie was laying on my momma with her arms stretched out like this today. She's a weird cat.
I realized I haven't really posted much about Teriyaki's babies. Unfortunately, we did lose smore shortly after the last post with him (the dog got him). Hershey recently passed due to illness. Marshmallow and Cookie are doing great, though! The top pic is of them free, ranging in the back yard, and the bottom pic is of them in the front yard. They're gorgeous mutt birds and so far have been having success free ranging during the day. I make sure they come into their coop at night and lock them up.
I've quit posting for a little while, but I did want to share that my hen Teryaki is once again a momma! (Well, technically, they're her grand babies, but I won't tell her that).
So unfortunately my dog killed one of my hens today. It was my Easter egger. Her body was mostly untouched but her head and neck were gone. I didn't want her to go to waste so I boiled and plucked her and she's in the freezer.
She laid one last egg before she got killed so it's in the incubator. I've ordered some more eggs and I'm expecting them to come in around Feb 1st. So we'll see if her last egg hatches. Curry also laid today so I've got her egg with the other so they'll hatch at the same time.🤞 it'll be about 21 days till the first eggs hatch but I'll keep yall posted.
Seth from Day Shift 2022. Anyone else think he's a cutie? I mean he's a total nervous wreck, he's got glasses, and a man bag. He's a total dork! So cute!
