Mikoto and the Reaver Village. The fourth book in the Amaranthine Saga has been put on sale for the rest of December. If you haven’t heard Travis Baldree’s reading of this book (or any of the Amaranthine Saga & Songs), this is the perfect moment for discovery. Sale page is here.

Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch70: “Horse Market,” the chapter that launches us into PART 3 of our adventure. One of the more notable changes is … at the ripe old age of three, Hoseki has reached (young) adulthood. ::twinkle::
Golden Tassels. One of the perks my patrons receive is a Quarterly Bubble Mailer, and this time around, I’m completing their set of book spine bookmarks. They’re hot off the presses & freshly tasseled.

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. Ch62, “Catch and Release” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch58, “Likeness” 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 >>

Quiet Night In
Chapter 2, “The Daughters of Kikusawa Shrine” 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.
The usual questions:
When does this story take place?
We pick up immediately where Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal left off, shortly after Kimi & Quen’s first televised kiss. (May of 4 N.S.)
How long are the chapters?
Nope, this isn’t one of those drabble stories. I’m treating Kimi2 like I would any novel in the Amaranthine Saga, so “full length” chapters.
Is becoming a patron the only way to read this story?
For now, yes. While I’m writing Kimi2, I’ll be posting the chapters for patrons to read. But once it’s complete, I’ll publish the book in its entirety.
How often do you post chapters?
At the moment, once a month. I may increase the pace after I wrap up Bard & Barbarian, which is also serialized on Patreon.

Wild Child
Dazzle Tier and Up. I forgot to mention here that the art cards for October are extra special. To celebrate this month’s release of a Russian-language edition of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox, I received permission from the publisher to use the cover art (by @artovbros). These 5×7″ prints have a pearl shimmer treatment. (So shiny!) If you want this Argent, go peruse the tier options on Patreon. Sparkle tier patrons, whose perk includes mail every other month, can expect to see this blaze-baring Argent in their mailboxes in November.
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch69: “Toll,” because there is one. Also, this marks the end of Part 2 of Bard & Barbarian. Next month, Imber will set out with new goals.
