This may be the best book in the trilogy, but because it is #3, not many people have read it. If you have, thank you! And if not, why not give it a try?

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

A friend of mine found these three kittens behind a Bay Area gas station. They are tame, vaccinated, and incredibly affectionate. Unfortunately, she's unable to keep them and I'm trying to find them a home. They are at risk of going to a shelter. Bay Area people, are you open to adopting?

Band name: Zap Pack Batteries? Spice blend? Three pairs of wool socks for shuffling on the carpet? Whatever, I like the concentrated energy of these two syllables.

Band name: Villains in Vain No matter how hard they try, they keep being reformed and turned into heroes. I appreciate the alliteration and the visual rhyme in how the words are spelled.

Band name: Tiger Penis Shouts hilariously performative masculinity.

Band name: Man of the Mountain Cryptid or grizzled old prospector? Or maybe the wizard Knot from my Tales from Deep River fantasy series. He has a close, possibly unhealthy, relationship with his mountain.

Band name: Forged by Dread Major dark fantasy/horror vibes: what we fear will make us strong enough to fight it.
