Rhomiko Teasers. The monthly mailing for January includes Rhomiko, the unique person that Hisoka-sensei carried home after the events of Book 6. And because we’re getting closer to the release of Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, I’ve included an excerpt from Bk7 on the card’s reverse. To capture one for yourself, become a patron at the appropriate tier. Teaser:
Rhomiko is neither male nor female (non-binary), and it was fun to work with Mart to make sure their appearance sends mixed messages.

Monthly updates on Kimi’s courtship … a new arc in Bard & Barbarian … and early teasers about my next series. ::eyebrow waggle::

December Mailings
Patrons and Perks. I’ve been away for a few weeks, being a semi-adventurous traveler, but now that I’m safely home & settling in for holiday shenanigans, I’m catching up. Some of the boxes that awaited my return held the art cards for December. This month’s regular mailing features art by Mart on a lovely linen paper. It’s the first in what will be a set of four commissions, and patrons have the chance to collect them all.

Dichotomy Day is nearly upon us, and that means there’s also a Quarterly Art Card mailing. This time around, I chose another lettered piece by Asha, and for the first time, I splurged on gold foil. The results have given some serious shine to her favorite quote from Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal.
“Forgive my lack of eloquence…” | lettering by Asha
I’ll also mention that it’s “courting comb” season. This year’s selection features a phoenix.Those go out in January, but in order to qualify for the mailing, you’ll need to be at the appropriate tier (beacon or reliquary) for both December and January. So now’s the time to make that leap. Quantities are limited, and I do have a few leftovers from past year’s combs (fox, dragon, chrysanthemum).
Many thanks to everyone who supports my storytelling in such practical ways. I’m grateful. Always.
FORTHRIGHT
