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.
I listened to the audiobook edition of Under the Stairs, and I have to say that these stories feel even more unsettling in audio than they might on the page.
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.

I’d love to adopt another dog, someone for Wolf to play with, cause Max doesn’t like to play!
I get the same way with the Dogs Trust commercials. All of our dogs when I was growing up were rescues of one type or another, and it just breaks my heart that I can’t adopt one (or fifty) now.
I’m kinda the same way about adult cats. Everyone wants kittens and some really great cats just languish because people want “cute.” Phooey. I adopted my Skeeter when he was 8 – he previous family brought him to the vet to have him put to sleep because he has FLUTD. And you know what? he’s never had a single problem in the 6 years I’ve had him. He’s such a sweet little old guy now. His feet are creaky and he’d rather sleep in my lap than climb up the curtains, but I consider that a good thing.
Anyway… enough about me…
I think we need to use genetic engineering so that cats and dogs would never mature past the puppy/kitten stage. Then everybody would want one and they’d never reproduce naturally. Lots of demand and a supply that is based on need not nature. Give it some thought, Melissa.
