Thank you, Lady Ismene! This day-brightner showed up in my inbox yesterday, and it’s worth sharing. Lego has come out with a series that’s modeled after the famous four also known as the Junzi.
Would you collect them, too? ::twinkle::

Do you like extras? While I’ll make announcements & post final art here on the blog, there’s a whole lot more going on behind the scenes. I’ve been posting artist thumbnails and sketch peeks and insights into the people and places in my new series. The thing is, they’re posting on Patreon. For instance, here are some of my main character Varti’s expressions, which will be part of his character sheet. Mart Lett, my illustrator, will be creating them for several of the folks (and Folk) in Folk-Spelled.
You can start to get to know Varti, Enzo, Ramage, and the rest even before the story releases. Don’t want to spend money on those extras? Patreon has added a FREE tier, and I do make posts that are visible to all members. So why not follow me there, too? I’d be glad to see you! (Always am.)

More of That
Amaranthine Outtake. I’m playing with a new feature on Patreon. I’ve taken a 2-year-old story snippet from a previous Patreon-exclusive mailing … and included it, the accompanying art, and Travis Baldree’s narration in a for-sale post. It’s an experiment, really. But it could lead to future outtakes. I’m open to suggestions of “missing scenes” you’d like to see. ::twinkle::
“A Day for Blessings,” story by forthright

“Warm Enough?” art by FoxOfTwilight

For what it’s worth ($3, since that’s the minimum amount Patreon would let me set), here’s a link.
Enjoy!

Chapter 11, “Under Escort” is live over on Patreon! Subscription to this story is one of the perks that starts at the Twinkle tier ($4/month). Thanks to those who’ve chosen to read along! I’m grateful.
Tamiko and the Two Janitors. I’ve had word from the publisher that the next book in the Amaranthine Saga will be releasing in December. I’ve previously shared the covers for Book 1, featuring Argent Mettlebright and Book 2, featuring Eloquence Starmark. Here is their depiction of Ash:
To celebrate these international editions, I have permission from the publisher to create art cards with @artovbros illustration. They’ll be my Patreon mailing for December!
Any Tier. I do at least one mailing every month for my patrons, and for November, I’m sending out promo cards featuring the cover illustration for Folk-Spelled. Glossy 5×7″ art cards give you an up-close look at Mart Lett’s artistry, and the reverse includes the full book summary & assorted taglines. Normally, you would need to be on the Sparkle tier (or higher) to receive this mailing. But from time to time, I do an Open Offer, which means patrons at the Glimmer & Twinkle tiers can comment (or DM me) to request inclusion.
This is a great time to join up. The Glimmer tier is just $1/month, and that’d give you access to Bard & Barbarian, one of my Patreon-exclusive stories. Join at the Twinkle tier, which is $4/month, and you can also read Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, plus you’ll be able to receive the Quarterly Art Cards. Head over and consider your options. Choose a tier that’s comfy for you.
And Fun Mail. If you want to catch ALL the behind-the-scenes gossip about my upcoming series, the best thing to do is become a patron. While I will be posting official stuff here on the blog, early peeks at thumbnails and sketches are a perk of patronage. Also, there’s a new thing. You can become a FREE member, which gives you access to any public posts. Think on it!
Patrons starting at the Sparkle tier received Mart Lett’s “Varti & Hound” portrait for the monthly mailing in October. If you enjoy getting fun mail, exclusive stories, early looks, and first news, I’d be pleased to see you & do my best to spoil you. ::twinkle::
Many thanks to those who already support me there. I’m also grateful to everyone who reads, rates, and reviews my stories, wherever they’re found.
