Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch68: “Harm’s Way,” because that’s pretty much where we left the entire cast & crew last time around. Eep?

September Mailings. In addition to the regular monthly mailing (this one featuring Jacques), the Quarterly Art Card goes out this month to patrons. This time around, I’ve selected a lovely lettered quote by Asha, one of her favorites from Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox. She generously gave permission for me to share her art with all of you. Here’s a zoomed in peek at the original:

Asha created both a full-color version with the blues and gold highlights of the original cover … but she also did a black & white version. Choosing which to print was a breeze because … I did both. The prints are reversible, so you can choose which side to display!

Thank you to everyone who’s come alongside as a patron. I appreciate your supporting my storytelling in such a practical way. September is a great time to join the ranks of Glimmers, Twinkles, Sparkles, et. al. because later this month, I’ll be sharing the first chapter of Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons (Amaranthine Interludes, #3). This novel-length book will be a Patreon exclusive for now. It’ll give you ALL the kisses of Kimiko’s courtship along with other excitement at Kikusawa Shrine. Check out the various tiers and their perks here >>

Doubling Down. September will see both a regular monthly mailing & a Quarterly Art Card. Here’s a peek at the regular mailing, which will go out to patrons beginning at the Sparkle tier. Jacques Smythe in the suit on his book cover looks especially fine on heavy felted paper. And as a bonus, Lord Mettlebright’s man will bring a sneaky excerpt from Bk7: Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, which will release later this fall. Worth joining my glittering ensemble of supporters? Maybe!

I’ll show you the Quarterly Art Card soon. Look forward to it! forthright on Patreon >>


Also coming in September … a Patreon-exclusive. Think of it as a subscription story. You can read along by joining at the Twinkle tier ($4/month).


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. Ch59, “Treasure Room” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch55, “Priorities” 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 >>
