Show of Hands? That long-awaited email showed up in my inbox yesterday. Amazon has shipped my book. It will arrive Tuesday. Who else is a happy camper?
And this seems an appropriate time to remind you that …
I have permission from chunxing to share a series of sketches she created for Tsumiko, the title character in Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. Isn’t it lovely when an artist can give us a range of expressions and mood, filling in several facets of a personality? Thank you, chunxing! Continue reading

I believe in bright sides. Here’s one for those of you who’ve waited more than two months to read Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. We’re that much closer to the release of Book 2!
For a moment, I thought it was an April Fool’s Day prank, but I think we’re actually in business. Statistics indicate a sizable order of books from the printer, and Amazon has ditched the “temporarily out of stock” status. Finally! Your orders of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox WILL be filled!
In related news, I’m expecting a book box by the end of the week, so signed copies will be available again soon. Choices! We have them!
Also akin, I’ll be adjusting the deadlines for the Photo Challenge and Review Challenge. AND scheduling an Author Q&A for a weekend in May. Look forward to more!
Out of Stock. You haven’t received your pre-ordered book yet? You’re not alone.
If you have a print edition of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox on order from Amazon (like me), you probably received an update this week with Continue reading

In the Amaranthine Saga, those who stand between the human and inhuman races are reavers. So naturally, some of main characters in Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox are members of the In-between. Like Sansa, whose designation is battler. Continue reading

With a wordless exclamation of anguish, Inuyasha Continue reading
This last week, the final episode of the anime for The Ancient Magus’s Bride was simulcast (wrapping up at 24 episodes, plus a movie). I’ve been rereading the manga (before reading the latest US release, Volume 8), and I *may* incubating a plot!biddie for a fanfic. All of which means that Kore Yamazaki captured both my heart and my imagination. So when I found out that the mangaka has another series underway … I immediately sent for it!
I haven’t read it yet (saving it as a treat for hitting my writing goals), so no spoilers, please! ::twinkle::
Let’s have something fandom-y today, shall we? I’ve always loved lila-me’s illustrations for Unspoiled. She illustrated every chapter (sometimes every scene within a chapter) and created several whimsical asides.

When Sesshoumaru came to collect her at the appointed hour, wide, golden eyes took in every detail of her appearance before the young lord announced, “You smell nice.”
Hisoka looked askance at Higurashi and wondered if the young woman realized just how high a compliment she’d been paid. When she blinked and blushed, he thought perhaps she did.
