Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection. A new Amaranthine Interlude will be releasing later this month! Set ten years after the events of Bk3: Tamiko and the Two Janitors, this story is mostly about Joe & Kip. The timeline puts this story one year after the events of Rhomiko, which wrapped up the main series, so you’ll get some hints and glimpses of … well, more. Because there’s always more to any story. ::twinkle::
He doesn’t need to say much. One word will do.
Since its founding, the Reaverson farm has become a thriving enclave, with Nightspangle wolves looking after the boundaries and Woodacre squirrels playing tag in the oak trees. Joe’s a patient guy. Good at taking care of what’s his. Good at encouraging things to grow. But not the greatest at speaking up. After a decade, he decides it’s time for a change. He has something small in mind, but when unexpected guests keep turning up at Red Gate Farm, Kip’s heart isn’t the only one due for a shakeup. **A short story that revisits the cast of Bk3: Tamiko and the Two Janitors, set a year after the end of the Amaranthine Saga. Cozy Fantasy. Slice-of-life. Courtship. Family.
Pre-order is set up! You can reserve your copy now. My links take you to Amazon’s US storefront, but it’ll be a worldwide release. Search for it anywhere. It should be showing up soon (if not already).
- Yes, I’ll also be uploading this one to my distributor, so even if you’re not an Amazon/Kindle user, you’ll have access to this story.
- No, this won’t be going immediately to print. It’s a digital-only release. Alder will have to wait around for a buddy. I’ll be doing a print anthology, just like I did for LMM & Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend.
- No, this won’t be going immediately to audio, either. Same deal. Once I’m ready to go to print, I’ll arrange to have Travis Baldree narrate both titles at once.
Be sure to add Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection to your Goodreads shelves as well. And as always, thank you to everyone who takes the time to read, rate, review, and recommend my books. It’s an enormous support for indies like me.
