Compiled my thoughts about Thorns by @roscoegbeetle.bsky.social. It's an interesting book with some strong character work. Man, those two are messed up!
Full review over here - www.goodreads.com/review/show/...
The Cóyotl nominations are open! For your consideration:
Salisbury for short story!
In a world where anyone can reshape their bodies to reflect the person within, an encounter between a new lion and an old dragon inspires young Sal to become his true self.

Less than a day to get your nominations in!
A "For your consideration" ad for the novel Thorns. Picture depicts Sam, a well-dressed rabbit with age clear on his face, and Roy, a fat bear trucker, sharing a cigarette. Sam is leaning against Roy as he lights up his own cigarette, with the light from the lighter casting a yellow glow on his face. Sam stares at the viewer, frightened and dumbfounded. Text on the ad reads: THORNS: For Your Consideration. Nominate "Thorns" for best novel at the Ursa Major Awards website alongside your other favorite books from last year!
There are 5 days left to nominate your favorite furry media for the Ursa Majors! Even if you've sent in your nominations already you can always go back in to update it to squeeze in your favorite Toxic Old Man Yaoi duo.

The cheese pull on that mantis goes crazy
Meanwhile, compliments of the actual writer who brought you Sinners;
This also seems like a good time to boost the furry writers' starter pack!
I know its a longshot, but Heat Without Light came out in 2025 and is eligible for this.
If you read the first book of Heat Without Light and enjoyed it please take a moment and add it to your list for Best Furry Novel!
Check it out here: thekamenwriter.itch.io/lion-among-m...
Also, if you're so inclined, a nomination for my good friend @roscoegbeetle.bsky.social's book Thorns or his short story Salisbury is, in a roundabout way, a nomination for me :3

I think my characters and characterization work are banger, and dialogue crackles when I get going
I am unreasonably excited for this despite having no idea what the hell it is or what its about. Take me for a journey!
