May’s Mailings

“Such a Gentleman” is featured on the art cards going out to patrons for the regularly scheduled monthly mailing. And for the equinox, the quarterly art card will include lettering of a favorite moment from Mikoto and the Reaver Village (Amaranthine Saga, Bk4). I’ll post pictures of those when they come from the printer. ::twinkle::

Lara Pickle

Congrats, Lara! I happened to stumble across an upcoming graphic novel release last week, just in time to get my pre-order in. What caught my eye? The author/illustrator is Lara Pickle, who was charming to work with a few years back, when I commissioned celebratory art to use as art cards for the first four stories in the Songs of the Amaranthine series.

The four Songs illustrations (these are obviously just close crops) were titled The Dance, The Dark, The Den, and The Drama … and early patrons received these as art cards. Recognize these cast members? They’re all still figuring prominently in current storylines!

Lara’s graphic novel is a brand new release. I received my copy yesterday. Join me in celebrating her success … and if you’re interested, be sure to pick up her book. :: confetti toss ::

Bard & Barbarian

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. The story is being narrated by Travis Baldree. Ch65, “Floundering” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch61, “Portals and Plots” has 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 >>

January Mailing

Includes a Rhomiko Excerpt! I finally received my box of art cards from the printer for the January mailing (better late than never). They include an excerpt from the upcoming series finale, Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, which I’ll need to push off another month. Probably looking at a March release now. If you want to get in on this lovely art card (5×7″ on heavy linen paper), today’s the last day to become a patron at the appropriate tier (Sparkle on up will be included in this one).
