Dear Papabear,

After reading your letter from 2019 about learning from past mistakes, you wrote a very nice and reassuring method on how to learn from them and move on with life. (https://www.askpapabear.com/letters/how-to-grow-from-past-mistakes)

In a similar sense to that letter, when I was a teen (16-17 years old) I was having trouble with handling my emotions. I didn’t fully comprehend the concept of “think before you post”. I had very rare moments where I’d let my anger get the best of me; which resulted in me writing some really messed up comments on anger-inducing things/topics that triggered me. However, when I realized the weight of what I commented, I immediately apologized to the poster(s), and deleted them, admitting it was messed up and way out of line. I was forgiven for it, got on good terms with them, and I have never acted out like that ever since.

I learned from my psychology course at college that the brain is still in a developmental phase at those ages. I was smart enough to take accountability for my words and actions as a teen, despite that.

The step in your letter that I often have trouble with is forgiving myself. My Asperger’s/ASD causes me to replay some moments in my head from years ago, most often when I don’t want them to. Sometimes my remembrance of them can make me get horrible anxiety attacks, making my regrets weight me down. It takes a toll on both my mental and physical health. I know I made up for my mistakes nearly a decade ago, and was forgiven for it, but that lingering regret prevents me from practicing self-forgiveness.

How do you forgive yourself when your own mind and body won’t let you?

Dear Furiend,

I apologize for the slow reply. I've been sick with the flu this week.

All righty, to business then!

You clearly know all the basics, including the fact that you have already made amends, were forgiven (great!), recognized your error, have striven to not repeat that mistake, etc. Also, you know that your condition aggravates what, for others, would be problematic and troubling but not quite as difficult to overcome as it is for a person on the spectrum.

I recommend we begin by understanding exactly why pretty much everyone, at one point in their lives or another, suffers from feelings of guilt they can't seem to shake even though the cause of said guilt has been addressed and even fixed. It is, you see, an evolutionary adaptation. We are all designed to remember mistakes and their consequences so that we can learn and move forward. Let me give you a primitive example: Say you were an early ancestor foraging in the woods and you found what looked like a delicious berry, so you eat it, but not long afterwards, you become sick and vomit. From that point on, you would remember that berry, what it smelled and tasted like, and what eating it did to you. Even though you learned your lesson not to ever eat it, that powerful memory of becoming ill will be with you for possibly your entire life.

The guilt you feel is like the bellyache the apish ancestor experienced. Even though they will never eat that berry again, the memory is painful and makes them cringe whenever it is brought back to mind.

Your guilt is a berry bellyache. You're just recalling the memory. You know that you have resolved the situation and that everything is now okay. 

So, here's what you do: The next time you get that feeling of guilt, pause for a little bit. Sit down somewhere and think about what you're feeling. Say to yourself, "Oh, yes, that cringey guilt is back, but it's not there because I'm still a bad person. It's just reminding me that when I get online and write something to be mindful of what I say to others!" Then, thank the cringey guilt berry ache for the reminder and put it aside to continue your day. That is, focus your attention on what you are doing in the present, note that the cringeberry tastes particularly sour to people on the spectrum but that just makes your reminder more pronounced and noticeable, and congratulate yourself for your success in doing better today. Focus on the present.

When we recognize things for what they are rather than what we imagine them to be, they become much less threatening and troublesome.

Bear Hugs,
Papabear

Annihilus has invaded the galaxy from the Negative Zone and is threatening to destroy all life as we know it (so, a typical Tuesday in the Marvel Universe). It’s up to a team of heroes to band together to stop Annihilus in Marvel Cosmic Invasion: the latest 2D side-scrolling beat-’em up from the creators of TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge. However, instead of being another smash hit for the studio, Cosmic Invasion falls short and, instead, delivers a very mediocre and by the numbers game that fails to live up to their predecessor.

NYFurs hosted the first ever Fuwa Furry Fest in Industry City in November

NYC’s furry community got together on November 15th in Japan Village in Brooklyn to celebrate the first ever Fuwa Furry Fest.

Located in Industry City, Fuwa Furry Fest was hosted by NYFurs with a mission to celebrate the growing furry community in the Big Apple. According to the website, Fuwa Furry Fest was “a day to celebrate fans, creators and furry enthusiasts for a playful, community-first experience. The culture of the furry fandom will blend with Japanese pop culture for the night!”

Fuwa Furry Fest was hosted by NYFurs’ founder Gamboiuwu, who has been running the group since 2021. The event follows other smaller events around the city meant to bring NYC’s furry community together such as Round 1 furs and Phoenix Bark. The event was conceived by Gam’s desire to bring the NYC furry community to light, as well as wanting to commemorate Japanese culture.

“We saw that Japan Village was offering to do events, and I had always adored Japan Village. I decided to see if they would respond, and to my surprise, they wanted to move forward with our plans,” remarked the founder, who admired how Japan Village brought Japanese culture to New York City. “With some back-and-forth emails and extensive planning, we decided Fuwa Furry Fest could be our first shot at making a sophisticated event in New York City.”

Despite the rainy weather, Fuwa Furry Festival started at 3 PM EST with 203 people registered, with an estimated 250 people in attendance throughout Japan Village. The festival took place across two floors, with the first floor hosting several Japanese restaurants and the Japanese supermarket Sunrise Mart. The Second floor had a seating area with a Torii (Japanese shrine gate) and Guzei (Japanese red bridge), and other shops specializing in Japanese goods such as Book-Off, Daiso, and Bandai Namco Store. Attendees also gathered outside in the courtyard to take photos and enjoy the view of the evening sky of New York City.

Alongside socializing among peers, Fuwa Furry Fest also hosted official board game meetups. While not easily spotted by attendees, that did not stop some from partaking in such. For example Alcor, an occasional attendee for Round 1 meets, played the trading card game Cardfight!! Vanguard with his friend Dreel during the event. Alcor also noted that while the event was fun, it needed more signage to mark where certain meets were. “I didn’t realize there was a board game meetup, I just play Vanguard with my friend Dreel because we do that when we hang out,” remarked Alcor, “It mostly felt like another R1 meetup, so it was chill, but also I feel next time this happens they should have a proper ticketed event and set things up properly so that we can have our own dedicated space.”

Around a few hours into the event, fursuiters lined up in the courtyard for a fursuit parade and a group photo. There, Gam gave a speech about what the event meant to him, and expressed his gratitude for everyone showing up to Fuwa Furry Fest. Afterwards, Phoenix Bark was hosted again at Phoenix Bar in Greenwich Village to end the night.

Feedback was given about the venue, as attendees noted the small size and the fact that it was a public space. Gam not only took note of the feedback, but wanted to expand the idea into a full fledged convention.

“When I went to Phoenix Bark, I had the biggest smile on my face. Just seeing all those furries come together in this one moment,” reflected the NYFurs owner, “felt like I achieved my dream of seeing all these furries together. Life is boring. I see fluffs, it’s a lot more awesome.”

Gam’s accomplishment was a sentiment shared by the staff members as well, including the head event director of NYFurs Gilden Harlowe. Also known as Vinegar, he worked as check-in for the majority of the event.

“The day consisted of plenty of socializing, shopping, and exploration around the vibrant Japan Village, while the staff team ensured we were adhering to the schedule to make things run as smoothly as possible,” remarked the director, “The parade, especially, required coordination unlike any we’ve had in prior NYFurs events, and the end result was an absolutely beautiful display of culture and community.”

After Fuwa Furry Fest, NYFurs continue to host events across NYC, as Phoenix Bark is set to return to Greenwich Village on January 31, with more plans being made by the staff.

This state-of-the-art adult fursuit technology will get you kicked out of Disneyland – but into the horniest places on earth!

Want to get your paws on the ultimate fursuit accessory that redefines heavy petting? If you want to bare it all, Cider Collie has you covered. Her faux-fur-crafted SPH (Strategically Placed Hole) makes cartoon animal crotches more anatomically-correct than the average person on the street could ever imagine. It can come off to stay SFW, or zip on at will, letting anthropomorphic dogs, kitties and bunnies be as bold as fantasy characters can possibly be. It’s stretchy and penetrable for full contact by collaborators in furry performance art, so their partners can please them in ways that real life isn’t known to provide. Sounds too hot to bother about rug burns.

Reporting the adult side of furry follows a mission to cover the hole truth; the good, the bad, and the sexy, with no sacred cows left unturned. Think of how this was made with hands, fabric, and a naughty dream. Compared to some uses of human bodies in adult media, sewing is wholesome, isn’t it?  The uncensored art is NSFW — kids and prudes go away — but tasteful, mature readers can see it and smile. So feast your eyes on this invention of utmost necessity, and learn how Cider Collie’s crazy job brought it to life in her Q&A with Dogpatch Press.

Adults click here for the full frontal photos.

Your Bluesky bio says “artist drawing weird intimate furry sex”. Is that just your NSFW account and how do you want to be found?

I go by a couple of online usernames haha! My family knows about my SFW art and online presences, so I try to keep my NSFW work pretty separate to avoid them coming across it. You can find it at @cidercollie.bsky.social.

[Cider Collie doesn’t just do adult art, but it’s sensible to separate occupations, so we’ll leave some of her other talents private. There’s a lot more than you see here.]

How did you get into being a furry artist, and what are some of your inspirations? 

I got into being a furry artist pretty early. I had always liked drawing and animals. At about age 11, I got my first phone and therefore social media. One day, a photo of a fursuit popped up on my Instagram feed. I showed my mom, thinking it was cool, and she FREAKED out… her only context of furries having been that CSI episode. From there, my curiosity got the best of me and I fell straight down the internet rabbit hole. Telephone was by far my biggest furry inspiration and fascination. The Lion King and a lot of the early hand-animated Disney movies, as well as my upbringing in a coastal beach town in south Florida, both really inspire my art to this day.

What do you most like to make, and want to share any of your favorite works?

I most enjoy making things that are kind of outside the usual and that challenge me to learn new skills! For example, right now I’m working on developing a really fun new sex toy: a fuckable anthro furry butt. I wanted to explore the overlap between plush toy kinks and fursuit kinks. I’ve learned a ton about toy-smithing, 3D printing, mold-making, working with silicone and foam, and designing a product with basically no blueprint. I’m really excited to show off the proof-of-concept with fabric genitals and progress photos.

Do you have any observations about who follows or commissions you, and what they want?

Honestly, I find it a little hard to tell who exactly my audience is or what they like from me. I try to vary the kinks and themes in my adult art so there’s a lil something for everyone. Though I do draw a lot of outdoorsy adult art, so hopefully I attract people who enjoy the same!

Do you have any thoughts about the furry community, or experiences that made you feel strongly about what it does or doesn’t do? 

Oh yes, absolutely. I feel the furry community can be a double-edged sword. A few years ago, a person launched a slanderous hate campaign against me because of a piece of adult art I made. The art was in a Chibi style, depicting an anthro furry girl, with human breasts and genitals… but these teenagers decided that her pose and wrist angle somehow meant the character was feral/quadruped, and therefore they decided to accuse me of zoophilia. I had recently attained a decent following on social media, so of course “popular furry is a zoophile” became the hot gossip and big headline at the time. Seeing part of the community I had loved with all my heart turn on me in the blink of an eye due to a random person’s completely proofless accusation based on a very tame and acceptable furry porn drawing… it deeply and permanently changed me, and opened my eyes to a very big problem the community has.

On the good side though, I have everything because of this community. When I was a kid, the furry community donated money to help my mother and I escape domestic abuse. By taking commissions, I was able to save up and move to Orlando at age 18, which kickstarted my career and life. So many kind comments and wholesome exchanges from furries online and at conventions encourage me to keep going, and I can’t be more grateful for that.

So all that to say, I have wildly varied feeling

Fursuiting has grown impressively since the early days. It’s driven by passion and fandom, but it’s also part of an industry, so it’s both collaborative and entrepreneurial. Adult work has been part of the craft development since the beginning. Your fursuit accessory, the plush vulva, looks uniquely designed and not just impressively crafted, but exciting for a commissioner to wear and use. It’s so personalized and oddly wholesome, with a plush toy aesthetic and undertones of gender subversion … We might expect mainstream heteronormativity to present sex toys as generic plastic dong things, and this flips that around and goes beyond many peoples imagination. I wanted to point this out as a unique hand made object and ask you how you feel about making it?

The first fursuiter at the first furry convention.

Thank you! I really love how you described that- you have an amazing way with words. I think that flipping of expectations is exactly why this specific type of fursuit accessory tickles me.

Sex and kink are so often culturally assigned as HARDCORE and NAUGHTY and so on – so something about portraying eroticism through soft cuddly fabrics lovingly handsewn together… it kind of wraps a blanket of coziness, intimacy, and tenderness around the whole idea. Plus, I just love making things that are underrepresented or not commonly seen.

You comment on the photos was “damn my job is crazy” which says so much. Can you talk about having this for a job, and do you have any thoughts about adult art as an industry?

It really is! It’s such a weird experience and it takes up so much of my life, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I actually tried to work a part-time job a few years back and that lasted about a week, haha. Doing furry art for a living is so incredibly freeing, but like anything under the self-employment category, figuring out how to manage it all is pretty stressful. How to keep up with growth, how to handle loss, artistic burnout, learning to switch gears, finding work-life balance, self-regulating, not falling down the corporate black hole, staying human while maintaining professionalism, social media skills, taxes… it’s a lot. But the freedom to make the art I want to make is worth all the stress.

Adult art is something that’s always been around, from the earliest charcoal cave drawings of cavemen porking to the modern digitally painted werewolf wieners, it’s so deeply and beautifully human. It’s something I believe is incredibly valuable, not only as a form of self expression, but also because it has incredible value as data for historians and scientists. Erotic art provides deeply insightful information about the human psyche and the mysteries of sexuality.

And of course that goes for all art, but I think that considering how widely shunned erotic art tends to be across many cultures, AND the recent restrictions and attempts at erasure happening in the US, it is especially important to emphasize the importance of recording, preserving, and protecting erotic art.

Have you noticed recent problems with payment processors targeting adult services, and do you have any observations about it or info about what to do?

Absolutely, it’s been jarring to suddenly see payment processors silently change their terms of service overnight. Of course it’s largely a censorship issue, but I think it’s also a capitalism issue – every large company ultimately being controlled by a small handful of powerful people means those companies will bend to the ideas of those few powerful people, no matter how it affects the rest of the population.

To my understanding, the best thing we can do is inconvenience those companies, the payment processors. Call, email, text, mail physical letters, protest in-person or online, boycott, tell your friends – whatever you can do to contribute to being loud about the problem and inconveniencing those companies, do it. Customer support numbers for large companies are very often outsourced to a third party, which often charge the companies per call. If you take up their time, you cost them money. By telling your friends, you drive away their potential or existing customers. By making them lose money, time, customers, and reputation: You contribute to the notion that their policy change was a BAD BUSINESS MOVE.

Thanks so much for sharing about your work, and let’s let people know they can get a book of your NSFW art.

The great and mighty Katherine Applegate (author of The One and Only Ivan — and many more furry books) returns with a new fantasy called Pocket Bear, illustrated by Charles Santoso. We’ll let the publisher explain: “Thimble-born from tip to toe, Pocket Bear remembers every moment of his ‘becoming: The glimmering needle, the silken thread, the tender hands as each careful stitch brought him closer to himself. Born during the throes of WWI, he was designed to fit into the pocket of a soldier’s jacket, eyes sewn a bit higher than normal so that he always gazed upward. That way, glancing at his pocket, a soldier would see an endearing token of love from someone back home, and, hopefully, a good luck charm. Now, over a century later, Pocket serves as unofficial mayor of Second Chances Home for the Tossed and Treasured, where stuffed toy animals are refurbished and given a fresh opportunity to be loved. He and his best feline friend Zephyrina, known far and wide as ‘The Cat Burglar’, have seen it all, and then some. An unforgettable tale of bravery, loyalty, and kindness, Pocket Bear reminds us all that love comes in many forms (sometimes filled with fluff), and that second chances are always possible.” Published last year, this new book is available in hardcover from MacMillan Publishers. (Happy New Year, y’all!)

Many furries have had a chance to see this major source of fandom by now, so this isn’t your usual review. Here’s how I made it extra memorable with a holiday trip that I can’t wait to do again.

First, get hyped and get refreshments

The lobby is where you can get yourself a treat, but that’s not where I got mine.

It started with getting hyped for a week of holiday plans on the east coast with 11 family, including 2 kids who were playing with their metal band. Of course I wouldn’t miss that show, but it was on the same day as my plan to hit the regional goth club. Luckily both things lined up. With eyeliner in place, I got to mosh, got Taco Bell, then got dropped at the club in a snowstorm to dance my shiny black pants off to Siouxsie and The Cure.

On the way out of the club, inquiries about anyone driving my way got a sweetheart offer for a ride. Local goths Sadie and Kat drove way out of their way in the snow at 3am, wouldn’t take my money, and even bestowed me with a Christmas present of magic mushrooms that I was wishing for.

Christmas tripping is seasonally-appropriate. There’s a theory that the lore of Santa Claus comes from psychedelic shamanism. They say his red, white and flight power represents the effects of the Amanita Muscaria mushroom. That’s more toxic than the kind you’d want to casually consume, so one of the safer shamanic methods is to let reindeer eat the mushrooms, filter only the good stuff through their pee, and then you drink it. It’s a gift that keeps on giving. Ethnomycology finds that up to 6 people can keep passing the psychoactive piss through each other like a human centipede with antlers in front. This is why Santa’s reindeer fly, and if you stand underneath you get an incredible northern lights show. I know some adventurous reindeer furries (call me)… but let’s get back to the wholesome story of consuming recreational substances at a family movie.

This gorgeous Amanita Muscaria grew in my yard.

Fuel up and strap in

If you have fungal refreshments, eat them 30 minutes before the show.

The movie starts unevenly at first. It packs a lot of business in with a frenetic pace and some cheesy quality, like callbacks to the first movie that feel shoehorned in for repetition sake, maybe. Or maybe it has a few too many puns and slapstick that’s cute but less than necessary. The story sputters a little until it gets to calm moments, and then it really clicks and keeps getting better.

If you did partake, at this point, the onset of mushroom magic peaks with a scene where a character’s eyes sizzle with heat vision, unlocking a secret only they can see. Kaleidoscope eyes fill the screen and meet your own like tunnels to another universe. It feels like when the animal heroes dive down a rushing water tunnel. Focus on the screen, or you’ll be distracted to raise your own paws and watch the fur grow. Meanwhile, the voice work by Ke Huy Quan is highly affecting. This scene made me see and hear colors that blew my mind.

The world building is rich with many new places, characters and references. There’s a conspiratorial YouTuber who is silly and not evil, and a wealthy family patriarch animated like John Huston’s role in Chinatown (1974) for at least one scene. That’s strong material for a family film. Do you remember the ending party with Gazelle’s song in the first Zootopia? It happens again here at a “Burning Mammal” festival. That’s a real life furry connection that get so close to Disney fucking with us, I bet they had meetings about how to frame a shot where Gazelle is surrounded with bare chested tigers, until it tilts down to show that they’re wearing little shorts. Subtext-wise, I think the villains and their motives make this less copaganda and more pure mystery-solving with a message. The character chemistry is super satisfying and revelatory. Not only is it visually thrilling, it’s a Disney classic that I liked better than the first one.

Returning to earth

If you enjoyed the show like me, without telling 10 people who came along, the next challenge will be leaving the theater with a poker face while your eyes swirl like lava lamps and you’re on the verge of exploding with giggles. I had to walk in a straight line down a hall with Tron-like lighting and a funky patterned carpet that looked like I was falling in a candy bowl while being 3 inches tall because the hall went on for a mile.

Successfully leaving undetected wasn’t the end of it. A frosty night made the whole world a disco ball, and being driven through the woods with Christmas lights between the trees made a fireworks show.

You couldn’t pick a better, more colorful movie to enjoy this way. I want to do it again. If that sounds good to you, watching at home won’t be like that. Make the most of Zootopia 2 and catch it in a theater while you can.

Happy holidays and have a very furry new year.

If you’re reading this – we’ve made it! 2025’s butt has been, in Kate’s words, booted out the door, and now it’s time to collectively take yet another hopeful swing at our resolutions and ambitions.

The occasion also marks my formal assumption of the Guild’s presidency! Most of my good speech material went to last month’s newsletter – in which we announced the FWG’s new Member-Exclusive Audio Fiction Narration service, definitely one of our proudest achievements for 2025! – but I still want to take another moment to say thank you. To the entire FWG team, to the incredible Kate, and to the Guild as a whole. Your warmth, trust, and support have meant more than I can properly put into words.

We have so much to share with you in the near future, and my sincere hope is that 2026 will be the biggest year yet for furry writing by far. So – raise one last glass, give your friends and neighbors in the trade yet another virtual hug, and buckle up for the ride!

From the very bottoms of our hearts, the FWG team would like to wish the fandom’s writers – Guild members or otherwise – a fruitful, successful, and positive welcome into the new year. Take care of one another, feel the community behind you, and never stop creating!

Your new president,
Gabe Foxx

We came across this book while Christmas shopping! And it’s really unique… “Part epic picture book, part graphic novel, The Five Wolves defies genres. With intricate ink work and meticulous hand-lettering, Peter McCarty has crafted a dazzling reading experience. The Five Wolves is an entrancing journey and a testament to the power of art and artists. Across oceans, through fields, and down tunnels, five daring wolves traverse the planet in search of wonders to draw and paint. All the while, a disembodied narrator spins the tale of their absurdist adventure and asks big questions. What is art? And who does it belong to?” Find out more (and see a preview) over at MacMillan Publishers. [Have a happy and safe New Year, everyone, and all the best in 2026 — Ye Ed-Otter.]

As 2025 comes to a swift end and we all collectively boot its butt out the door, and good riddance, it’s time to greet 2026. One big change for the guild is that I (Kate) will be stepping down as president! Gabe Foxx is taking my place, and if that doesn’t merit everyone in the world shooting off fireworks in celebration, I don’t know what does.

In other words, while I’ve been happy to serve as president for the last year-and-a-bit, after that and three years as vice president, I’m ready to pass the baton. Gabe is full of ideas and has a great team to help her out–me included, but quietly in the background from now on. I’m excited to see what this new chapter in the guild’s history has in store.

But that’s not what I’m here to talk about.

Both our previous president, JFR Coates, and our incoming president, Gabe Foxx, are publishers as well as writers. I wanted to use my goodbye post as a way to highlight both publishing houses. Both are new and are bringing some exciting new angles to the world of furry publishing!

Jaye has been selling furry books at conventions for many years. Across all this time, one thing has become consistent. She has always been asked for more books with a lesbian or trans focus. This was a gap in the furry market which had not received enough focus compared to the demand, certainly in Australia.

Transcendent Fiction Publishing was the result of those constant requests.

While the content of the books may vary, TF Publishing intends to provide a dedicated space for female and trans authors and artists so that their work can flourish. While female focused authors and books have thrived at some of the other publishers, the feedback from readers was that these were often drowned out by the gay and male focused books. By providing a dedicated space, TF Publishing hopes to bring new and unique voices to the furry fiction ecosystem, and beyond.

2025 was the launch for TF Publishing. There are many exciting titles expected to come throughout 2026.
TF Publishing can be found on Bluesky at @tfpublishing.bsky.social, with books available from their website at www.tfpublishing.com.au

Hey there! Gabe Foxx here. Kate told me I should write a bit about my house, so here I am – although you can expect to see a post of my own covering the exchange of presidency soon!

Set to debut with the coming year, Doppelfoxx Publishing is the fandom’s first globally-focused furry publishing and distribution house, and aims to bring a modern and electrifying new era to both written content’s place within the fandom, and how business is done amongst its best and brightest. Regardless whether you’re a writer, a comic creator, or an artist by any other calling, we want to be the wind beneath your wings (or fur, rather), and to showcase the community’s raw passion for eyes and hands all around the world to enjoy.

In any case – looking forward to the absolute pleasure of getting to work with you all!

Having more publishers means more opportunities for writers, naturally, and more choices for readers! These are exciting times for sure.

As for me, I’m looking forward to having a little more time to write (and read!). Thanks to everyone who’s helped and encouraged me during my presidency, and thanks to Gabe for stepping up even though she’s busy getting Doppelfoxx Publishing launched. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for the guild and my fellow writers!

Much love,
Kate Shaw (FWG president 2024 – Dec. 31, 2025)

Ever wondered how it’d feel to work on a farm run by a feline deity that, shockingly, doesn’t want world domination? Well, Cat God Ranch is here to answer that question. From CrazyPotato Studios and originally released on PC, this is a charming little game with some cute ideas but is bogged down by a glaring difficulty problem that hurts an otherwise enjoyable title.

While out shopping for books this holiday season, we came across I Am Rebel, a new young adult fantasy novel by Ross Montgomery. “Rebel is a good dog. He loves his simple, perfect life on the farm with his owner, Tom—until one day, when the war comes too close. Tom is determined to join the rebellion to defeat the king’s men, but Rebel knows that war is dangerous, and he will stop at nothing to save his beloved human. How can he bring Tom home before it’s too late?” Check it out over at the publisher’s web site, in hardcover and trade paperback. (Bright Blessings and Happy Holidays from us to you, everyone!)
