Pressed into Service

Releasing in August. Quick update on the next Songs of the Amaranthine title. I’m aiming for an August 22 release. I can’t set up pre-orders, so I’ll be hitting “publish” and we’ll count down together. Heh.

The main cast members for the story are a journalist & her editor. So … workplace rom-com vibes with an Amaranthine twist. Look forward to it!

Songs of the Amaranthine, #10

Coming Soon. I’ve been tinkering with a new short story for months. Patrons have been getting the odd teaser, but it’s finally time to announce the upcoming release here. ::twinkle::

She’s used to writing headlines.
She’s about to become one.

Levity Jones is a local celebrity. As a journalist with the Perspective, her reports connect a whole city. Nobody would believe that the one bringing them heartwarming human-interest stories isn’t human. Unless she goes public. Which is exactly what the Five are asking her to do. The clans are about to become breaking news, and they need influencers like Levity to cast the Amaranthine people in the best possible light.

. . .

Pressed into Service is basically a contemporary workplace rom-com … with an Amaranthine twist. And if you’re truly, amazingly tuned into every possible detail, you might actually remember that Levity was mentioned once in the main series. (Because I do things like that. All. The. Time.)

Thanks to the debacle surrounding the set-up of Bk7, I can’t offer pre-orders for this story, but I’m holding out hope to sneak Pressed into Service out by the end of the month. That would make me so happy.

Summer’s Art Card

Quarterly Art Card. These were delayed, but they’re finally in, and I’m tucking them into envelopes for patrons. Featuring art by Nicko, I included a “missing scene” for Suuzu & Akria on the back. If you want to read “Nesting Instinct,” you’ll need to come on over, join up at the Twinkle tier, and request inclusion in the mailing. Because of the delay, I’m letting any new/upgrading Twinkles in July request the Quarterly Art Card. It’d be a shame to miss out!

Art Card: 5.5″ x 8.5″ with a semi-gloss finish
Art: “Treehouse” by Nicko
Reverse: “Nesting Instinct,” a new and exclusive scene
