Lynn Strong (MLIS) is a professional information designer, an amateur but enthusiastic trope flipper, and a questionably recovered wordaholic who used to be paid by the column-inch. It likely still shows.

Lynn is also a queer and disabled person who has lived on three continents, speaks six languages with different levels of fluency, has studied (and taught) medieval Japanese dye techniques, and at one point semi-professionally burned Kool-aid while studying for a degree in theater tech.

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed Haroun and the study of mischief. This is the breed I imagine Haroun is based on: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/dc/Fallon_the_Silken_Windhound.jpg How do the stories in Chai and cat-tales fit in with HSM in the timeline?
Lynn Strong Hi! :D Ooooh soft fluffy dog! I was thinking of feathered saluki in particular -- here's an example from Pinterest - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80…moreHi! :D Ooooh soft fluffy dog! I was thinking of feathered saluki in particular -- here's an example from Pinterest - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/80/33/... - but I think windhounds and saluki are very close cousins.

The stories in Chai and Cat-tales are set earlier in the timeline; the first one is many years earlier, the next two are a year or so before Haroun. But I'm having a lot of fun weaving all these characters and stories together, and the mystery of where the shahzada vanished to in the middle of Haroun's story gets its own book as soon as I can scrape together enough time and brain to finish it.

(Also, the Netgalley expiration was my newbie mistake because I've never worked with Netgalley or a Netgalley coop before, and I thought I had to check that box to be abiding by the terms of the coop's service? I'm going to have to read the contract's fine print more closely before next time to see if that's required by the coop group or whether I was misreading that.)

If you or any other Netgalley reviewers want a non-expiring copy, let me know, I'm happy to send the final version to ARC readers once I have the final version in hand!(less)

Lynn Strong liked Anne V's review of Chai and Cat-tales:
Chai and Cat-tales by Lynn Strong
"Enjoyable

Fun read, and good to get to dive into a non-western setting. The characters are interesting and easy to identify with. As long as you remember that it’s three short novellas rather than a novel, you’ll enjoy the read. " Read more of this review »

Chai and Cat-tales by Lynn Strong
"A set of three delightfully cozy fantasy tales set in a Middle Eastern city where cats can be people or gods... Though sometimes they are just cats. I'm not even a cozy fantasy fan, but was charmed by the self awareness of the characters as they work" Read more of this review »

“Not that he objected to feeding thieves and larcenists, of course! Thieves got hungry like anyone else. And if he fed them, then they had fewer reasons to need to trouble others for coin. Coin was such nuisance for those who tried to keep all of it for themselves. Shai Madhur didn't understand why so many coin-collecting people were so angrily protective of their collections.”
