Dropping on the 1st

“Sipping at Happiness” is the latest in a series of Amaranthine Outtakes: moments that fit in and around or soon after the more official moments in the Saga & Songs … and Interludes. This scene is a moment between the Smythe Brothers, written as a companion to the recently revealed artwork by Mart Lett. It’s pretty short, just 10 minutes, but it has been narrated by Travis Baldree. ::starry eyes::

The story snippet drops on November 1. You can purchase it in my shop on Patreon and queue up for the fancy countdown to release on Saturday. More information here >>

Oui Oui

Art Cards & an Audio Drop. To celebrate the debut of my new serialization, Boniface Smythe of the Stately House Smythes, I had Mart Lett create a portrait of Jacques and Boniface. It’s the monthly mailing for October 2025, and on its reverse was a teaser for the brand new Amaranthine Outtake that’s scheduled to drop on November 1.

He wants to figure this out on his own, only he really hates being alone. Boniface Smythe has secured both a position as Suuzu Farroost’s man and a place at Stately House. Unfortunately, residence in the enclave means forced proximity to his brother Jackie, who is everybody’s darling, and to Argent bloody Lord Mettlebright, who needs to mind his own business.
The story begins immediately after the events of Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection, which places the beginning of Boniface Smythe of the Stately House Smythes roughly one and a half years after the final book in the Amaranthine Saga.
