Hold Out Hope
Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor. Today’s the day that Travis Baldree begins narration of the final book in the Amaranthine Saga. As many of you know, he streams live from his recording booth. Watching him work is fascinating. To take part, you’ll need to join his Discord Server, Cryptid Audio, and then jump into the #listeners-lounge and click the audio stream. I usually pop out the video so I can set it beside chat, which is where I’ll be hanging out all week.

When does the stream start? Umm. Today! Soon(ish), I think? I don’t have an exact time. Best policy is to join up, then go into the #choose-a-role channel under GENERAL and choose the listener role so you get a notification when he begins each sessions.

Big on the Inside
Worth It. Took a day to comb through upcoming events in Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons. Plotting twelve kisses requires creativity and coordination (and continuity checks). I fussed until I was satisfied with the pacing. Now to write this month’s installment!

Meeting Sadness

Narrated Edition. Bard and Barbarian has been posting slow and steady over on my Patreon account. Reading along is great, but supporters on some tiers can now listen along.

Sudden Clarity
Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor. If you need a place to react, confer, or kick up a fuss, this is the spot. I’ll enjoy your enthusiasm, I might be willing to clarify small points, but I reserve the right to evade questions that will be answered in other places. (Yes, there are still other places. Bear with me.) ::twinkle::
[[[WARNING: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS]]]
Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor. We’re here at long last! The final book in the Amaranthine Saga is complete, and the files have been uploaded. We’re simply waiting for it to go LIVE. Thank you to all of you who’ve been patiently (and impatiently) awaiting the conclusion of the main series.
Release Day • May 22, 2024

One bachelor is love-shy. One is unrequited. One is much-loved. One is blindsided.
::twinkle::As in GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Rhomiko is ready. I’ve been on a strict final read-though schedule all week, and I left the little finesses until today (title page, table of contents, etc.) Plenty of time to hit my upload deadline. Except. Not …? Because I was meant to be operating on GMT, which has somehow never come up before. Anyhow, I missed the upload deadline by several time zones.
What does this *mean*, 4thy?!
Amazon will cancel the book. And anyone who pre-ordered will probably get some kind of notice to that effect.
So is the book delayed?
Nope. Still planning to publish on the 22nd. But I’ll have to set up the title again and click publish on the 22nd. Manually. It’ll release (sorta) immediately.
So this isn’t the end of the world?
Nah. Just really embarrassing. It’ll be okay.
Here’s a teaser for your trouble:

Who remembers Anjou? ::twinkle::
::twinkle::As soon as I have news about the release of Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, I’ll share it. Patrons get little tidbits, of course. Teasers and whatnot. I’ll finalize the release date and direct you to pre-orders … soon. I’m still hoping for May, but due to little interruptions, it could push to June. Which is why there’s really no news yet. Just … “soon.”
