Indigo, the Deep is the third installment in Kellye Abernathy’s Yellow Cottage series, and the third time I’ve had the privilege of immersing myself in one of her stories.

Sebastian Wilson is an aspiring actor whose latest “role” leads him into the lives of a wonderfully eclectic group of people. What I found especially interesting is that the male lead is a catalyst rather than the center of everyone else’s story. Without even realizing it, Wilson becomes exactly what several people need at pivotal moments in their lives, even as he struggles to accept himself for who he really is.
Science fiction is often at its most satisfying when it combines imaginative ideas with believable human stakes, and Andrea Goyan’s The Catalyst does exactly that. The novel balances scientific intrigue with questions about responsibility, identity, and the unintended consequences of discovery, creating a story that’s as engaging intellectually as it is entertaining.

But I have tea! *sips companionably*
definitely counts if it’s in the tree tops!
Oh, I reallyreallyreally miss grilled cheese. Sadly, it’s one of the few things that defeated me learning how to make (I can whip up Paella without a twitch, but can’t make a grilled cheese sandwich, go figure).
Grilled cheese and tomato soup…. sigh.
Magic places are wherever you can find ’em. Our master bathroom is attached to a gable at the front of our house. It’s the most wonderful reading nook, a place to go when you don’t want anyone disturbing you.
Ah…
