Named for Shrubbery
Jacques tried to place the name. Continue reading
Need reasons to order signed books from me? Here’s another one—stamps. Adding my stamp to the first book may have started a trend. We designed another for the second book. Just one of those little details I love so well! ::twinkle::

Flounder
Jacques slipped under, but Deece Continue reading
If you haven’t run across this tidbit of information, let me restate it here. The Amaranthine Saga is slated to have seven books. (I planned that much—and named all the mikos—before I began writing the first book.)
I won’t mess with half books, so the main series won’t have a volume 0.5 or 3.5, but I’ll play around a little with my free “fanfic,” Lord Mettlebright’s Man, which may just plod along in the background of the whole series. The collection I’m calling Songs of the Amaranthine will contain stand-alone short stories that predate the Emergence.

Need reasons to order signed books from me? Here’s another one—the flyleaf. I’ll sign the bookplate on this oh-so-pretty page. I adore all the chrysanthemums scattered across this cover.
Little detail: we chose this particular bookplate shape in order to emulate a traditional Japanese bell.

This year, I’ll use National Novel Writing Month to best advantage by taking last year’s gobbledy-gook of word sprints & jumbled scene snippets and transforming them into finished chapters. If all goes well, that should carry me about halfway through Bk3. It won’t be easy, but the best things aren’t. ::twinkle::

Disclaimer: I do hereby disclaim all rights and responsibilities for the characters in this audacious adventure… especially for the one who’s still adjusting. A nod of recognition is bent towards Rumiko Takahashi for her creative prowess.

Need reasons to order signed books from me? Here’s one—swag. I tucked enclosures in the books I shipped this morning. I’m planning an afternoon run to the post office if more of you jump at the chance for signed books.
I call this picture “Marked by Swag”
Book Boxes! My copies of Amaranthine Saga, #2 – Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal have arrived! The chrysanthemums on the cover came out a lovely shade of red!
Interior snapshots tomorrow! To order a signed copy, details here >>
We knew it might happen. Having pre-ordered the print edition of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal from Amazon myself, I know many of you just received a helpful update, letting you know that the book now has an anticipated delivery date of mid-December. This is out of my control.
Several Possible Options:
Ordering books from me just became really real, because THIS was in my inbox this morning:
Book Boxes. My authorial order from the printer (who is apparently quite busy at this time of year) is on its way and will arrive TOMORROW. My assembly line is ready to roll, and signed books will be bundled off to the post office Thursday morning. Shipments in the US have been taking about a week, so expect your books by Thursday, October 25.
Having anticipated a recurrence of last spring’s debacle, I ordered plenty of books. Come one, come all. ::twinkle:: Details on how to request signed copies from me can be found under the SIGNED BOOKS tab >>
Book pictures tomorrow!
It’s kind of exciting to have my own book turning up in my inbox. Ah, the power of author follows. ::twinkle::
