Mug Shot: Possum/Groundhog Day

 

So this mug is pure chaos. Today is Groundhog Day but this is not a groundhog. It's a possum...which is still the closest I can come to a groundhog mug. Sorry about that!

This is a very standard mug. Nothing special. But then it's got this wacky possum on it and my favorite shade of teal, and stars and stuff. And on the back it says "Living the Scheme" which...I dunno, are possums associated with scheming somehow? So, all in all, it's got this insane quirky edge to it. I feel like I'm going to give this mug to one of my characters. I'm thinking one of my tattoo artists from the Inked in Oaktown series that I STILL haven't written, damn it. Anyway, Groundhog Day...also very incomprehensible. We all know that Spring won't come early. And yet, every year we have this odd little ritual where we pretend that maybe it will. The date coincides with Imbolg, so I'm sure there was some connection there originally. In Sound of a Voice That is Still, Marsha performs an Imbolg ceremony that I think goes all sorts of wrong, before it goes right. Which, is what too many people have been predicting for 2026. I'm sort of over it.

Sound of a Voice That is Still (Oberon, Book 3)

Some wounds take a long time to heal, others never do.  Four months after being wounded in the line of duty, Ryan Henderson is beginning to fear that his is of the latter variety.  He's a patient man, but a poor patient.  As winter drags interminably on, he's growing desperate for distraction—anything that might take his mind off his injury, before he goes insane.

​Siobhan Quinn could give the injured officer a lesson or two in living with pain.  It's been ten years since her life was changed and her heart critically wounded as a result of the tragic accident that robbed her of her family.  She knows firsthand how grief can cripple a soul and drive a sane mind over the edge. 

Sometimes it seems like Spring will never come again.  Sometimes, the only alternative to living in inner darkness, is death.  Your own, or someone else's.  In the depths of winter, Ryan and Siobhan will have to make a choice: to help each other heal, or die trying.
