Releasing This Month. I received word back from the publisher that the second book in the Amaranthine Saga will release in May. The cover features Eloquence Starmark (he is totally blushing over this depiction), and patrons will soon be receiving art cards to celebrate the publication!
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. The story is being narrated by Travis Baldree. Ch68, “Harm’s Way” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch64, “Empty Hours” has unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.
New narrated chapters will arrive every other Wednesday, which means … there’s always something more to look forward to! Learn more about my Patreon here >>
Finishing Touches. Many of you have been messaging me about Coop’s serial, which hasn’t been updating according to the usual schedule. This happens whenever I’m embroiled in the final phases of a book. Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor is nearly done, so I’ve been hyper-focused. All I can do is beg patience. Coop will be back when I can switch gears without derailing higher priorities.
And hey, thanks! I’m so glad to know you’re enjoying Coop and the Elderbough Trackers! That’s encouraging.

Chapter 6, “House and Home” is live over on Patreon! Subscription to this story is one of the perks that starts at the Twinkle tier ($4/month). Thanks to those who’ve chosen to read along! I’m grateful.
“Such a Gentleman” is featured on the art cards going out to patrons for the regularly scheduled monthly mailing. And for the equinox, the quarterly art card will include lettering of a favorite moment from Mikoto and the Reaver Village (Amaranthine Saga, Bk4). I’ll post pictures of those when they come from the printer. ::twinkle::

Many thanks to all those who are supporting my stories, wherever they may be found!
Congrats, Lara! I happened to stumble across an upcoming graphic novel release last week, just in time to get my pre-order in. What caught my eye? The author/illustrator is Lara Pickle, who was charming to work with a few years back, when I commissioned celebratory art to use as art cards for the first four stories in the Songs of the Amaranthine series.
The four Songs illustrations (these are obviously just close crops) were titled The Dance, The Dark, The Den, and The Drama … and early patrons received these as art cards. Recognize these cast members? They’re all still figuring prominently in current storylines!
Lara’s graphic novel is a brand new release. I received my copy yesterday. Join me in celebrating her success … and if you’re interested, be sure to pick up her book. :: confetti toss ::

Happy Lunar New Year. As per tradition, the monthly patron mailing for February involves red envelopes and lucky coins. There’s time to secure one for yourself. ::twinkle::
Boon & Moon. Given where we are in Coop and the Elderbough Trackers (Amaranthine Interludes, #4), I thought this repost of Fox’s art wouldn’t be amiss.
