Welcome back, my little bear cubs. PANDA'S DEN has returned, and I'm hoping that everyone is doing well. For today, I have an interesting solo investigation for everyone. Some information was unearthed that I genuinely was not expecting.

Would you like to support my friends?

My childhood best friend's name is Sara. The Instagram for her art shop can be found here. You'll love her art, I promise! My friend Jessi's Instagram and jewelry work can be found here as well. Jessi and her partner take commissions for jewelry as well, so reach out to them! 

A very close friend of mine, who goes by the penname of the Strange Seawolf, has just published her first book: Herald Petrel. You can buy it here. 

You'll learn more about this epic Sci-Fi tale down below...

Another spaceship, another explosion. Harold Galahad would love to wake from this particular nightmare that is so eerily similar to the events that cost him his beloved wife and destroyed his soul. But the only way out is by saving the ship and its entire crew.

If you ask Harold Galahad, he isn't fit to lead a crew or command a ship. But nobody is asking Harry.

Instead, he finds himself back on the bridge, on a ship stranded in space, no help in sight, only kept alive by remnants of a gradually failing life support system. 

His crew? A nurse running out of tentacles and eyes to care for all the wounded, a chief engineer who knows all about her systems but struggles with people, a chief of security who thinks everything can be solved with paragraphs from the Company's handbook, a cursing chief of logistics, an anxiety-ridden communications officer, and a first officer who stays mysterious and feigns ignorance. This ship needs a captain to avert a complete disaster that includes the death of everyone on board. 

Can Galahad overcome his trauma? Can he find solutions where there are none? And worst of all, can he unravel all the mysteries surrounding the ship, its crew and the system they all work for?

If you enjoy a complex tale that brings a human element to all species that travel space, combined with a multi-layered mystery, and starring a broken hero, Herald Petrel by Strange Seawolf will deliver.
