My inbox is teeming with Kimiko pre-orders, but I’m in the middle of one of those big, final, this-time-for-keeps editing passes on the typeset pages. (Pretty, pretty!)

Marathon an anime. Be ready!
Because I’ll be writing for … Continue reading

I’m using the #Inktober2018 prompts to kick off a new story in the Amaranthine universe.
