FanFic: Mood Stripes
Don’t scold me for starting something new when I have SO MANY (so, so many) unfinished fanfics. Because this is a special case. I needed an exclusive story for this blog. We can call it incentive for readers to drop by. Or we could call it a treat for those of you who are already keeping me company here. But really… this is me goofing off. (Same as always.)
Story Summary: In the aftermath of the Final Battle, the victors lick their wounds and look ahead. However, a misspent wish on the Shikon-no-Tama changes minds, hearts, fates… and colors. SessKag. Canon Divergence. Continue reading
COMPLETE: Clumsy
May as well give this story its official Closure Notice. My genderbent SK is still updating at fanfiction.net, but it’s complete in one hundred chapters here. ::confetti toss::
Clumsy 100: Mine
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this topsy turvy tale… especially for the one who chooses for herself. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 100: Mine
Kagomaru simply held her, and Sesshoume began losing patience. So she Continue reading
COMPLETE: Imperceptible
Finally! This winding tale has finally been given its finale. Safe to say it’s the longest chapter of the 100. Enjoy!
Nearly done…
As promised, I will be posting Imperceptible‘s final chapter today. Bear in mind that “nearly done” in writer’s terms probably translates to HOURS, especially since I need to give this monster a final read-through, and uploading will involve a fair amount of formatting. But I’m pleased with progress… though it might go faster if I wasn’t crying over every little thing. ::wibble::
Release!
“RELEASE!” – courtesy of Card Captor Sakura
Celebrating a Book Release. I have no idea how long it will take virtual bookstores to fulfill your pre-orders, but if you absolutely cannot wait for the print editions to reach you, I am pleased to announce that the Kindle edition is LIVE on Amazon! Start reading now >>
Squee Post
I want to establish this for any of you who might like an outlet for your enthusiasm while you read Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. You can review every chapter (doin’ it fandom-style) or toss us a fly-by ::glompthrottlegush:: as necessary. I’ll “like” (probably more like love) all your reactions, but I’ll withhold comments for now. I’ll host an Author’s Q&A eventually, after more of you have had a chance to read the book.
So this is fair warning. Comments on this post’s thread may contain SPOILERS.
Photo Challenge
Cameras Ready?! The best way to create buzz about a book release is to get readers involved. I have a few challenges lined up, and the first is simple. Take pictures for me! Snap a picture of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox when it arrives. Prop it up in your favorite reading spot. Snag a book-sniffing selfie. Showcase it with other blue books … with props from the story … with your mug of tea … with your pets … with your plushies … with character doodles … with a bowl of ramen. Get creative. Be enthusiastic. Impress me. Be elegant or silly. Make me smile. Because there will be fabulous prizes. Continue reading

…and I am cutting it close with this Imperceptible finale. Seriously, the last chapter is a story unto itself. o_____o In the meantime, please enjoy one of my favorite pictures of Hisoka-sensei.

Clumsy 099: Lead and Follow
Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this topsy turvy tale… especially for the one who runs. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.
Chapter 99: Lead and Follow
When Sesshoume sprang away, Kagomaru stumbled after her. Continue reading
eBook Update
I have chatted with the Powers That Be and learned why Amazon hasn’t yet listed the digital edition of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. I won’t bore you with all the rules, regulations, and red tape. Not to mention… addendums. ::shudder::
Long story short, the ebook WILL be available (internationally) from Amazon on Release Day (2/22), but it will not be available for pre-order. On behalf of everyone at Twinkle Press, we apologize for any inconvenience or diminished enthusiasm.
Signed Books
Autographed Copies. A handful of you are requesting signed books, no small feat for an author working behind a pseudonym. But after mulling over my options, I can offer you two. 1) A signed bookplate can be yours at minimal cost, or 2) if you want an actual book that I have actually touched and personalized, the cost will vary depending on your country of origin. (International shipping can be steep!)
First off, a peek at the print edition’s flyleaf and built-in bookplate. (Because forthy really does plan ahead.) Continue reading
