Rampant Speculation

Guesses & Hopes. By now, you know the Amaranthine Saga borrows elements from my fanfics (set-up and setting). I did this to make the series FUN for those of you who have read (and reread) my fandom tales. For the record, the entire series is planned, outlined, and the next few books are even in the pre-write stage (thanks, NaNoWriMo).  I know where I’m going, but I’d love to hear your guesses and hopes.

Which of my fanfics do you think should find their way into the Amaranthine story universe?

Author Q&A

Forthright's Dokusona

Ask Forthy. You have questions, and I know how to dodge them. But there’s a decent chance I’ll answer them. Or you could address yourselves to the cast. (They might cooperate.) You can ask as many questions as you like. My only request is that you don’t pack two dozen questions into one comment. One or two related questions per comment will keep the threads from tangling.

[[ HERE THERE BE SPOILERS ]]

**Forthy doesn’t believe in author-spoilers, so you’re safe from me, but some of you are pretty durn smart. Questions, speculations, and predictions might be spot on (because I foreshadow like whoa). And naturally, all comments in the following threads will be spoilery for those who haven’t yet read Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox.  Hence the dutiful warning.

Next Weekend

May the forth be with you. This is a friendly reminder that there’s a post-release party planned for next weekend (May 4-5-6), which will include—but may not be limited to—an Author Q&A about Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox, the first book in the Amaranthine Saga. Everyone who wants a copy can now get a copy (print editions ship promptly, digital editions provide instant access), but if you haven’t gotten around to actually reading the book yet … you have a scant week!

Save up your questions. Maybe you want clarification on some point? Maybe you’re hoping a favorite character will recur? Maybe you’re wondering if that teensy detail that piqued your curiosity was important? While I won’t forecast or spoiler, I’ll be happy to hint and teaser. Bring it!

Need ideas? Here are some questions I’ve seen lately: Continue reading →

Update

Shipment of Signed Copies. If you connected with me for a signed copy (before this morning), your book is in the mail! Want one of your own? I have plenty more. Details here >>

Amazon Delivery. My pre-ordered copy of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox arrived yesterday. FINALLY! Which means the book’s now in stock with Amazon and available for Prime delivery. If you’ve been holding back, waiting for a better time … this is it! ::twinkle::

Bookplates. I’ve been holding onto the bookplates people ordered until I knew Amazon was shipping their books. Because I slipped a little something spoilery in the envelope. Those are now winging their way toward readers. You’ll have mail soon! Want to add a bookplate to your book? They’re only $3 (four dollars for international shipping). Details here >>

Photo Challenge. A snapshot is all it will take to gain entry into a drawing for fabulous prizes (sparkling nibs!). All the particulars here >>

Review Challenge. You would be helping me in a big way if you left me a little review. So I’m offering a little incentive for being part of the buzz. Take part here >>

Author Q&A. Save the date! I’ll be hosting a weekend-long post-release party here on the blog, which will include a Q&A session for all those questions you may have for me (or the cast). Everything will begin May 4, 2018.
