Cosmic Lotus is in contention for the Ursa Major Award for Best Anthropomorphic Novel for 2018. After missing out for the past few years, I'm quite chuffed about getting on the ballot this time. If you feel it deserves it, go vote for Cosmic Lotus, pretty please!

I left this way too late, but I want to point out that Cosmic Lotus is eligible for nomination for the 2018 Ursa Major Award in the Novel category.

If you are at Anthrocon and you wanted to get a copy of Cosmic Lotus, I have three left as of 12:43pm Saturday. I also have a very few of my other novels too.

I will be attending Anthrocon this year as a dealer, selling my paperback books. A limited number of copies of Cosmic Lotus will also be available for sale. Autographed if you wish!

Next year, I plan to go to a pony convention of some kind. I don't know whether I'll be a dealer though because I might want to be having fun instead.

Check out this short story by Airy Words that shows how First Contact between the Cosmic Lotus and the Stellar Federation may have happened. In a devastatingly bold move, the Equians gain a huge advantage by... well... you'll see if you go read First Contact Protocols.

I have retroactively added art for the wedding scene from the "Forging New Bonds" chapter. The funds to cover the cost of this big piece were generously donated by Nagel Navari. Many thanks! Here's the picture for those who have already read the chapter:

I added a picture of the Cosmic Lotus with warp drive modifications to the end of the "Going Home" chapter, but it's likely that some readers never saw it due to reading the story before I put the picture up. As I want EquesTRON to get full credit and thanks for supplying the art, I'm reposting the pic here.

I want your opinions. Those familiar with my Chakat Universe, bear with me for a moment while I explain.

If you have already read the chapter, you know what this refers to. If you haven't gotten that far yet, you'll find it in the story now. Art by Foxenawolf.

I would like to advise my readers that there will be a delay in updates to Cosmic Lotus, but I have a pretty good excuse. I am currently in America and I am on a lengthy road trip with AlaskaIsCold which included going to a site in Agate Nebraska to watch the total eclipse of the sun. It was awesome! Even Doctor Hooves was there to watch.

After posting chapter 4 of Cosmic Lotus, I updated the cover picture and it looks a lot cooler now. Not perfect, but try finding an artist that does good ponies AND spaceships!

Also belatedly added a picture of Emerald Green that I forgot to put into the story. While it's by Kat Miller, I did not commission that one - the OC's owner donated it. Thanks!

Also got my third thumbs-down (so far). Seems that some people didn't like the content of this episode, I suppose.
