Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal

The Saga Continues. Many of you are asking about the second book in the Amaranthine Saga. Its summary was revealed in the back of the print edition of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox, so those of you with digital editions only know the title. Here’s what’s coming…

She wasn’t aware of her gift’s significance, yet he expects to be courted.

“I have a book for you.”

So this stuff really happens? Earlier today, a reader (that’d be Brooke) nudged me with a link to this blog post, in which Ilona Andrews reviews a book that was recommended to her (that’d be by Brooke). The book … Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox (Amaranthine Saga, #1). And Ilona … a bestselling author with a large following & my new hero. Because in a matter of twelve hours, THIS happened.

So this is what it’s like to climb the Kindle sales charts! Tsumiko is doing well in categories like Fantasy, Romantic Fantasy, Paranormal, and (go figure) Werewolves & Shifters. Needless to say, it’s been an exciting day, and I’m grateful to everyone who took a risk on a new-to-them author. And, of course…

Thank you, Brooke! Thank you, Ilona!

Call for Prompts

This has been one of those off-kilter, vacation-type weeks when one loses track of what day it is. That is my ONLY excuse for not posting a Mood Stripes chapter this morning. (It’s been written since last week.) That’ll be up shortly.

In the meantime, I’m thinking it’d be spiffy to have a fresh burst of prompts. Sure, I still have plenty to choose from, it’ll be a while yet before I can smoothly work in mugwump, bafflegab, and forsooth. So chime in! Especially those of you who’ve been shy about contributing before. Inspire me! ::twinkle::
