@kvalenagle.bsky.social gryphons with cat ears are illegal now 🫠
Woke up to quite the update on this. I had been in contact with Payment Cloud about getting their service and they waited until now to hit me with the image below. Again, stringing me along instead of being upfront. They had seen my website multiple times before this.

The tree griffin or opinicus (Opinicus leucogaster) can be found throughout the larger islands of the tropical Northern Continent. It uses its four claws to hunt little brown dragonets (Carpodraco adustus), snatching them out of the air as they leave their roosts in the evening.

Between the releases of Opinicus (GryphIns #7) and Pridelord (#8), about once a month, I used to get little sketches from @flamsinger.bsky.social speculating on all the weirdest gryphons and the ways they'd move and fly, and it made checking my email a fun way to end the writing day =]

Here's a fun typo that's specific to creature fantasy authors. If you pluralize opinicus as opinici instead of opinicuses, do a search for "opinici" in your manuscript and see how often you accidentally used that form as an adjective. It should be "opinicus lovers" and not "opinici lovers."

Two very different types of griffin: the hieracosphinx, a desert-dwelling griffin that rarely climbs trees; and the opinicus or tree griffin, which spends as little time as possible on the ground.

With the Trans Rights Readathon going on, if anyone needs trans gryphon books a try, give me a try!
The first trans character you'll meet in Eyrie is Lei, a trans-masc peacock who transitions over the first five books.

On the anniversary of Eyrie's original launch, one of the absolute most amazing gifts ever was @pawsrpg.bsky.social getting me this sculpture of Reeve Brevin, made by @wolfberrycrafts.bsky.social.
It still guards my gryphon book shelf today <3

Happy Pride to the merchant in Opinicus who flirts with newly-out transmasc Lei, and when Lei says he thinks he just likes guys, she replies "I have brothers! So many brothers. Take your pick and I will set you up on a date."

Anyone have any good ideas for a nickname for gryphons with four bird legs?
Gryphon, opinicus, strix , ounce, and keythong are all gryphon names already in use.

Maybe there's no universal writing advice out there that applies to everyone, but "make it trans and gryphons" seems to work most of the time.

Thinking of... Reeve Silver of the Argent Heights tonight.
"What kind of name is Silver?"
"Not the type you give to a fledgling you expect to rule an eyrie."
Famously the first lesbian in #GryphIns who can put together a nest that doesn't fall apart.

In fact, Lei's had art from fans of him with trans gryphons in other books like Isabel from The Gryphon Generation!
"Greyfeather Pip says not to swear."

"Don't shake your tailfeathers at a pitohui if you don't want to be shaken." - Stripes, Opinicus (GryphIns #7)
A lot safer than hugging Stripes, I'd think.
