Double Digits. The tenth installment of Bard & Barbarian is live on Patreon. The story’s available to patrons at every level, so if you want to read along, it’ll set you back as little as $1/month. The new chapter’s called “Larking in Brindleby.”

Starry Snacks
Raiding the Pantry. It’s been a while since I looked through my stash of Kimiko snacks. They’re running a mite low, and there’s no way to restock. (Quarantine inconveniences.) I’ll have to host another photo challenge, soon. Those are always fun. I like seeing your creative arrangements. ::twinkle::

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the unhappy one.

Next Gen
Umm… whoa. Okay, so this snagged my attention (spotted on Twitter) for obvious reasons.
**EDIT: VIZ has provided more details for Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon >>
Pretty pleased to know that Souta and Kohaku have a hand in making this new storyline possible. And my, oh my … more time skipping shall be had. ::twinkle::
Quarterly Art Card
Incentive #001. One of the incentives I’m offering patrons (starting at the Twinkle tier) is a quarterly art card. The first will mail out in June. It’s a lovely depiction of the Cooper family that I commissioned earlier this year. (Guess what? Lara is working on art for all four of the Songs of the Amaranthine stories.)

Tiering Up
Are you a Twinkle? Want a Beacon’s status? I’ve established tiers on Patreon, which makes it possible for supporters to know exactly what they’ll be getting in exchange for their monthly pledges. At the Glimmer level, everyone is still getting what they were always getting, so we’ll call those the basics. But my generous impulses are now more structured for those who want to do a bit more.
Pre-Order a Signed Copy
Governed by Whimsy: The Anthology is at the printer. (The manuscript is also in the hands of to good folks at Tantor Audio/Recorded Books, so Travis Baldree’s narration is also forthcoming … though further off.) It may be a week or two before I receive book boxes, so it will be nip and tuck to make the May 22 release date.
This hefty 400+ page book is a compilation of the first four short stories in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection:
- Marked by Stars
- Followed by Thunder
- Dragged through Hedgerows
- Governed by Whimsy
I’ll share pictures once I get my hands on copies. In the meantime, I’m opening up for pre-orders. If you’d like a signed copy or a numbered bookplate (or both), details can be found under the tab Signed Books >>
- Cost for a signed copy of this title (mailed within the US) will be $25.
- I’ve added Zelle to your payment options.
I’ll let the orders pile up until the book boxes arrive, then settle in for a mass signing session. At that time, you’ll hear back from me, confirming your payment, address, and pertinent details about signing. And of course, if you are interested in signed copies of any of my other titles, everything’s in stock at the moment. Many thanks for your interest and support! ::twinkle::
Note: Readers who plan to buy the book from bookstores, this title should begin showing up for pre-order in virtual storefronts by the end of the week. Bookplates will be available so you can add a personalized touch. Details on the Signed Books page >>

Every year, I can’t resist. It really must be said. “May the FORTH be with you!”

Patreon Update
Are you a Glimmer? I’m working on tiers for my Patreon account, and FoxOfTwilight has been helping. One of my favorite parts of this system is that you can NAME the tiers and even give them each a little artistic flourish. For example, those who join by supporting with $1 to $3 a month will join the GLIMMER tier.
No pressure. Just keeping you posted because these are adorable. ::twinkle::

Bard & Barbarian
Bards Will Be Bards. A new chapter has been added to my Patreon-exclusive story, which I’ve promised to update at least once a month. (This is the third installment in April, so yay!) Bard & Barbarian on Patreon >>
In related news. Up until now, I’ve been working on a give-what-you-can basis, but I have been plotting in grateful ways. It’s time to add tiers … so that you pick your incentives. We’re hammering out details behind the scenes. Tiers should kick in for June.
