Monthly Mailing

Patreon Perks. July’s mailing, which is available to patrons starting at the Dazzle tier, features Boonmar-fen Elderbough. Art: “Seafaring” by FoxOfTwilight.

If you like getting fun mail, consider joining the ranks of supporters at whatever tier makes sense for you. Other perks that may apply include:

  • The chance to read Bard & Barbarian, my Patreon-exclusive adventure.
  • Even better, the chance to listen to Bard & Barbarian, because Travis Baldree has been narrating this serial tale as it develops.
  • Small gifts arrive quarterly for those at the appropriate tiers. Contents are “subject to whim,” and always somehow story-related. Recent offerings: courting combs, silver spoons & custard cups, acorn-themed tokens of affection, and little glass bottles (no wind imps were harmed in the assembly of those gift boxes).
  • Tote bags & free signed copies of my books are part of the jumble.
  • Access to Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, a serial that’ll start this autumn & see monthly updates.

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. Ch56, “Thwarted” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch52, “Innocent Bystander” 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 >>

Narration, Day 2

Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend. Travis will be wrapping up Suuzu’s story today. My invitation bears repeating: if you’d like to get in on the fun and listen to the making of an audio book LIVE, drop by his Discord server (Cryptid Audio) and join us in the #listeners-lounge. Start times vary. A couple hours, maybe?

The audio edition of Amaranthine Interludes 1 & 2 will release in July.

Narration Day

Suuzu and the Nine Nippets of Legend. I found out a couple of days ago that Suuzu’s story would be next up on Travis Baldree’s docket. Today’s the day! I am settled in with cinnamon toast (on homemade bread) and an oat milk latte. If you’d like to join in on the fun and listen to the making of an audio book LIVE, drop by his Discord server (Cryptid Audio) and join us in the #listeners-lounge.

Dichotomy Day

Quarterly Art Card. Happy Solstice! I’m finally getting around to showing you the art for this quarter. Junpei’s portrait turned into a larger piece incorporating paper parasols. Fox and I decided that while red flowers were a must … we could next-level things by including the Junzi/Four Gentlemen. Junpei is the main character from Flattered by Flowers (Songs of the Amaranthine, #8), and yes … as many of you have guessed, he’ll be recurring in Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons. (Coming this fall! A patreon-exclusive serialization!)

For the art card, there’ll be an original story snippet on the reverse, titled “Sacred Tree.”

Monthly Mailing

Perks of Patronage. For the month of June, I’ll be sending out the balance of a big book swag order. Last month, patrons at the appropriate tier received cover art for Interludes 1 & 2, and this month, you can add Interludes 3 & 4 to your collections. If you love snail mail, go take a look at what’s offered at each tier on my patreon. And don’t forget, we’re counting down to Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, which will see it’s first chapter posting this fall! Lots of reasons to support my stories over thar.

Coop and the Elderbough Trackers

He always liked running wild. Now, he runs with wolves.
Cole Pfeiffer-Cooper, who prefers to be called Coop, became part of a pack way before the world found out about the Amaranthine. He was eight when his family took in Daroo-fen Clearsong, so by the time the Emergence was breaking news, he’d already learned plenty of wolf knots, hunting signs, and other kinds of non-verbal communication. That’s why it was pretty lucky that Coop was the one to find a group of wounded trackers fleeing from a werewolf hunt. Cozy Fantasy. Slice-of-Life. Family. Pack.

Author’s Note: This story actually begins the same summer that Lord Mettlebright’s Man began, in 1 N.S., about 16 months after the Emergence. If you haven’t already read Dragged through Hedgerows (Songs of the Amaranthine, #3), I recommend meeting the Cooper family at the beginning of their adventure, when Charles (Coop’s dad) became friends with Drew Hunter, a.k.a. Daroo-fen Clearsong.

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in a certain boy’s adventures because the Amaranthine Saga & Songs are mine. Please continue to indulge the lot of us, especially the one who lives on End Street.
