LMM: Signed Books

Lord Mettlebright’s Man & Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend. Book boxes have arrived! I’m ready to begin taking orders for print editions. For details about what I need from you + payment methods, check out the Signed Books tab >>

I’ll respond to your emails over the next few days. Have patience with me as I prep the signed books by adding little personal touches … like the stamps I always have made. ::twinkle::

I look forward to hearing from you!

Quarterly Bubble Mailers

Amaranthine Bookmarks. Recent arrivals include a set of bookmarks that we’re tasseling for patrons. Bookmarks for 1-4 are going out this month in Quarterly Bubble Mailers. Are you a bookmark person?

The set borrows from the spine ornamentation, since each design is unique. And on the flipside, we’re including each book’s tagline. We’ll complete the set for a future mailing. ::twinkle::

Print Editions

Lord Mettlebright’s Man‘s print edition will release on July 22, just a couple of days from now. I just spied it on Amazon, so if you’re planning to buy the book through an online bookseller, you can probably pre-order! Very exciting.

Typesetting this book was a unique challenge. 700 mini-chapters … and then the short story, which has its own layout and Table of Contents. The results are very pretty!

My own print editions are ordered, but it’ll probably be at least a week before they land on my doorstep. I’ll make author-signed copies available after they do. Watch for more updates!

Pokemon GO!

Vivillon Patterns. Every so often, I’ll remind followers that I’m a pokemon trainer. ::twinkle:: Since I just completed the Vivillon collection challenge this morning, I thought I’d brag a bit & see if anyone needs a friend. I play daily, participate in raids, and send gifts from the High Plains region.

I added the elusive Sandstorm patterned Vivillon to my collection thanks to a new friend in Jerusalem. ::blows kiss::

If you also play Pokemon GO, drop me an email with your friends code: always.forthright at gmail.com

Monthly Mailing

Patreon Perks. July’s mailing, which is available to patrons starting at the Dazzle tier, features Boonmar-fen Elderbough. Art: “Seafaring” by FoxOfTwilight.

If you like getting fun mail, consider joining the ranks of supporters at whatever tier makes sense for you. Other perks that may apply include:

  • The chance to read Bard & Barbarian, my Patreon-exclusive adventure.
  • Even better, the chance to listen to Bard & Barbarian, because Travis Baldree has been narrating this serial tale as it develops.
  • Small gifts arrive quarterly for those at the appropriate tiers. Contents are “subject to whim,” and always somehow story-related. Recent offerings: courting combs, silver spoons & custard cups, acorn-themed tokens of affection, and little glass bottles (no wind imps were harmed in the assembly of those gift boxes).
  • Tote bags & free signed copies of my books are part of the jumble.
  • Access to Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, a serial that’ll start this autumn & see monthly updates.

Bard & Barbarian

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. Ch56, “Thwarted” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch52, “Innocent Bystander” 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 >>

Narration, Day 2

Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend. Travis will be wrapping up Suuzu’s story today. My invitation bears repeating: if you’d like to get in on the fun and listen to the making of an audio book LIVE, drop by his Discord server (Cryptid Audio) and join us in the #listeners-lounge. Start times vary. A couple hours, maybe?

The audio edition of Amaranthine Interludes 1 & 2 will release in July.
