Twinkle Press Presents | art by FoxOfTwilight
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. Ch24, “Unfinished Business” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch20, “New Members” just 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 >>
Teaser Time. As a reminder, I’m sneaking you a snippet from Flattered by Flowers (Songs of the Amaranthine, #8), which will release as a single, digital short story on April 4, 2021. Then, the next Songs anthology will release May 22, 2022 in both print & audio editions. As a matter of fact, Travis Baldree will be recording the short stories next week! Hemmed in Silver, Captured on Film, and Bathed in Moonlight are on the docket for public narration sessions, and you can drop in for a listen. (More on that later.) PRE-ORDER NOW

Weighing Responsibilities
Patreon Perk. As I mentioned in this post, I’m readying a special mailing for qualifying patrons because the Emergence (in the Amaranthine Saga) coincides with the Lunar New Year. So it’s an annual treat! Those who join at the appropriate tiers during the month of February will receive a red envelope & lucky coins. (Reminder: those at the Twinkle tier need to request the mailing! Automatic inclusion begins at the Sparkle tier.) Thanks, as always, for your support here, there, and wherever you find my stories!

Drawing a Line
Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons (Amaranthine Interludes, #2). To help celebrate the Lunar New Year, which coincides with the Emergence in the Amaranthine Saga, I’m unveiling the official book cover for the upcoming serial, Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, which will be told over on my Patreon once we reach the Community Goal of 400 supporters. It will be available to those pledging $4/month or more. That’s the Twinkle tier! ::twinkle::
“Loosely based on the old Amaranthine tale, ‘The Wolf and the Moon Maiden,’ this serial will involve three sisters, twelve pledges, and the long-awaited stirring of a sleeping landmark.“
When does the story take place?
Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons picks up where Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal leaves off, following the entirety of Quen & Kimi’s courtship.
So just the kisses?
No, no. The whole Miyabe family gets involved, and stuff’s definitely happening in the vicinity of Kikusawa Shrine … AND at the Starmark compound … AND at New Saga High School. I can promise lots of familiar faces and a few hoped-for answers to longstanding questions. ::twinkle::
How long before the story kicks off?
That’s up to you guys, really. My community goal is 400 patrons, and as of this posting, we’re sitting at 159 … which is aaalmost 40%. So it may take a little time. Or it could go lickity-split. Thanks to everyone who’s excited for more Kimi/Quen moments.

Old Enough to Know Better
Nearly Ready. I started early, but I also started from scratch. The next Unexpected chapter is nearly ready, and I’ll tuck that away before starting in on VASSAL. I can sometimes pull together drabble chapters in fairly short order, but … we shall see. You can help by dropping prompts in comments over on my Ko-fi account >>

On the Contrary
Fourth Saturday. We’re into a new year, and I’m doing my best to stay on top of writing goals. This coming Saturday will be our first “Fandom Foray” event over on my Ko-fi account. I’ll be goofing off with fanfics for a few hours. We’re overdue for some Vassal updates, and Unexpected will see a new installment. Save the date! ::twinkle::
