It’s Ursa Majors season again, and all the finalists have been announced. And just like how Entertainment Weekly pretends they know best, Weasel Wordsmith has its Editor’s Choice list of winners!

A quick and dirty list of cool things to see at Further Confusion, so you don’t sit in the lobby like a lonely jackass.

Full of intrigue, drama, tense action and (yes) sex, Kyell Gold’s latest novel continues to set the gold standard for furry erotic fiction.

The third weekend of January will see throngs of furries flocking to the Bay Area for Further Confusion, presumably to compete in a fursuit decathlon and freak out the staff of the new hotel location. And in addition to panels about connecting with your inner fox or whatever, artists and authors will be showcasing their new works. Among them are Kevin Frane and Kyell Gold, both of whom will premiere their new novels. Real fucking books, y’all.

A week ago I had the chance to sit down with Kyell Gold and Rikoshi, a couple of charming and talented local authors. The interview led to a couple of articles, but I figured you guys might be interested in listening to them yap.
