Could Be Worse
If / Then. If you’re like me, and you think Kimi ni Todoke is just about the sweetest anime/manga in existence, then I have a recommendation for you. Ran the Peerless Beauty (complete in 10 volumes) has the same innocence and adorability. Recommended!
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch29, “Springheels.” Imber gets to know his new summons. (I have no idea how he keeps them straight.)

Let’s Be Friendly. From time to time (usually when a challenge demands it), I remind my followers that 1) I play Pokemon GO! and 2) I prefer to friend my readers (rather than random strangers). If “gotta catch ’em all” is also one of your goals, don’t be shy. Drop me an email with your friend code, and I’ll happily add you.

Unifying Palette
Book Pins. One of my friends makes a point of always getting me an enamel pin to match the books I’ve written. With Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate releasing in less than a month, I thought you might enjoy seeing their pick. It’s a phoenix, of course.
Release Day: October 22, 2021
Have you pre-ordered your digital edition of Fumiko? I’ll be opening up pre-orders for signed copies on October 1. The audio book, narrated by Travis Baldree, will release on November 9, 2021.

Himself
Two New Patterns. We’ve added two new patterns to the Twinkle Press shopfronts in honor of my fandom anniversary. One is ninja themed, to celebrate News Hound & Cub Reporter. The other borrows imagery from the cover of Cross & Crosser, which published last year [IY x Amaranthine Saga crossover]. Links to my shops on Threadless and TeePublic are on the SHOPS! page >>
Travis Baldree will begin soon. He’ll be creating the audio book for Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate (Amaranthine Saga, #5) LIVE on his Discord server: Cryptid Audio. I’m there. Join if you dare! ::twinkle::
Fanniversary Special. It’s been 15 YEARS since I posted my first fanfic! ::confetti toss:: During my 2020 milestone, just for fun, I posted the first two chapters of my first Naruto fanfic, and when that story wrapped up, I promised a sequel for this year’s fandom anniversary. So here we are! If you haven’t read News Hound, do that first, because Cub Reporter takes place close on its heels. This fanfic will update on Wednesdays.
Summary: Sequel to News Hound. Iruka reaches the meeting point for his next undercover mission a day early. Terranean is a big enough city, getting lost in the crowds should be a cinch. But what’s lost can be found. And being found out would be disastrous. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound]
Chapter 1: “History Repeats”
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. Ch16, “Don’t Be Strangers” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch12, “At the Pike & Lager” 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 >>
Narration Sessions. Over the next few days (beginning tomorrow, 9/22), Travis Baldree will be creating the audio edition of Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate (Amaranthine Saga, #5). If you are so inclined, you can sneak in and listen to him creating the audio book LIVE on his Discord server: Cryptid Audio.
Usual start time: 8:30 – 9:00 am (Pacific)
On the plus side, it’s FUN to watch Travis work. And you’d be getting to hear the book a whole month before it releases. But if you can’t set yourself down and listen straight through (it’ll take 3 days to record the whole book), you’ll either end up with a piecemeal account or (le gasp) spoilers.
Choose wisely!
