Signed Books. I’ll be heading to the post office in a few hours. If you’d like a signed copy of either Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox or Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal, (or both) I can send your order off today. More details on how to order a signed book >>
Every year during the holidays, I get a whole slew of reviews, DMs, and PMs from readers who’ve just finished their annual reread of Counting the Hours, a S/K AU that’s sitting at 2 (very long) chapters. Sweet compliments. Gentle reminders. A bit of groveling. Hoping, hinting, haggling for more.
Truth be told, there is more planned. Two more chapters, in fact, which are both named and (sketchily) outlined. But that story’s on my “someday” list because my RL publishing schedule is jam-packed. So here I am, hoping, hinting, haggling for patience. Because when you believe in HEAs as much as I do, someday always comes! ::twinkle::
Famous Parent. Eloquence Starmark’s dad is one of the Five. No big deal, right? ::twinkle:: His classmate is understandably impressed.

“Does that mean you’re related to Harmonious Starmark?”
“Closely.” Quen nodded to the embroidered crest on his shoulder—copper thread glinting against dark brown cloth. “Dad’s the spokesperson for the dog clans.”
“You’re a dog.”
“Yes.”
“And your mother’s human?”
Tenma’s grip had tightened, but this wasn’t fear. If anything, he seemed eager. His scent had brightened considerably. Eloquence smiled. “Yes, Mum is human. She’s my stepmother.”
“I saw that special. The one with all the interviews.”
“Who hasn’t?” Quen rolled his eyes. “They’ve aired ‘Heart of a Dog’ every year since my brother was born. It’s becoming an international Christmas Eve tradition.”
—Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal (Amaranthine Saga, #2)

Random Aside. Do you know HOW HARD it is to type “Ginko” (the main character in Mushishi) when your fingers are used to typing “Gingko” (a main character in the Amaranthine Saga)???
…I think I corrected them all in today’s installment.
Summary: Ginko regrets using the Uroana as a shortcut. He’s having trouble pinpointing where he’s come out, and he’s at a loss on how to get back. But in the meantime, perhaps he can do some good. A trail of acorns, a camphor tree, two sisters, a mushishi, and a highly unconventional mountain master.
FYI. This story isn’t on a fast track. Slow and steady, perhaps a chapter a month. (Affinity also updated today, and I’m excited to jump back into Savvy come January.)
Christmas Special. Let’s have new art next week, shall we? Because Harmonious Starmark is so much more than a chibi. ::twinkle::
Tune in Christmas Eve for “Heart of a Dog”

A Mischief of Monkeys. In the Amaranthine Saga, monkeys are counted among the trickster clans. So it’s only natural that Inti’s arrival causes quite the stir for Class 3-C at New Saga High School. Continue reading
Signed Copies. If you are in the US and want signed books for Christmas, you need to place your order/send payment by Friday, December 14 if you want the usual rate. (Media Mail usually takes one week.) I can still ship books all next week, but if you want those books in time for Christmas, you’ll have to pay a little extra for the upgraded shipping.
On a related note, I’m bringing a batch of books to the post office tomorrow afternoon, (Thursday, 12/13). Email me if you want to add a book to the outgoing stack! ::twinkle::
