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. Ch48, “Friend of a Friend” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch44, “The Meritorious Tome” 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 >>

Smol Spoiler. On the off-chance that folks here are still skittish about Pimiko spoilers, you’ll need to click through for the full illustration. Suffice to say … many plot threads converged in Bk6, and some weren’t bad outcomes. ::twinkle::

Tough Nut
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch58: “Likeness,” because if you think about it, there are a lot of look-alikes in this tale. Some are incidental. And others are pivotal.

Travis Reads. If you’re interested in the sequel series to Galleries of Stone by C.J. Milbrandt (one of my other pennames), Travis Baldree will launch into the prologue of Farley (Journeymen of Stone, #1) this morning. The tale of Tupper’s younger brother will take a handful of days to tell. If you want to drop by for a sneak look/listen, join Travis’s Discord server. (Details on this post.) It’s always fun to watch him do his thing. ::twinkle::

First and Last and Always. The Amaranthine Saga begins with Argent and Tsumiko, and later this year, when the final book in the main series releases, we’ll be right back at Stately House. Happy Valentine’s Day, reading friends! ::twinkle::

Author Confession. I sometimes buy things for my characters. This mug was a gift for Jacques. I don’t take my coffee nearly as strong as he does, but he puts up with me anyhow. Also … I play a lot of Scrabble, and J – A – C – Q – U – E – S scores pretty darn high, especially with a triple word square. (Which he insists on calling “scoring a threesome.”) ::sigh::
Lord Mettlebright’s Man should be back next week! Thank you for your patience.
