Galleries of Stone
News Flash! Because of a last-minute shuffle in his schedule, Travis Baldree’s narration of the third book in the Galleries of Stone trilogy by C.J. Milbrandt has been pulled to … TOMORROW! I’m always recommending this cozy fantasy series (it’s even linked on this blog’s sticky post: Want MOAR? Try this highly recommended series >>), in part because (dun, dun, dunnnn) I wrote it. (CJ is one of my other pen names.) Naturally, I always recommend starting a trilogy at the beginning, but if you want a free sample & to meet Tupper, Freydolf, and the rest … drop by in the morning for LIVE narration! ::twinkle::
How do you listen? You’ll need to join Travis’s Discord server, Cryptid Audio: https://discord.gg/duzCS2D Most days, he starts his sessions between 8am-9am. I’ll be there early. Hope you can drop in, too!
Quarterly Art Card
Perks of Patronage. The art cards for September 2022 just arrived. They feature the cover illustration from the Hebrew edition of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox (art by Omri Koresh). And there’s a short story snippet on the reverse, titled “Under the Ginkgo Trees.” If you want to catch this mailing, come on over! ::twinkle::
LMM 478: Only Natural
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with perspective.

Typesetting Complete!
Good Progress. I wrapped up the typesetting for Bk6: Pimiko and the Uncharted Island, so it’ll be off to the printer next. Here’s a screencap of one of the early pages, because if you want to brush up on the Saga & Songs, now’s a good time to begin. ::twinkle::

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. Ch37, “Together We Fare” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch33, “Finest of the Fine” 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 >>
Lord, it’s gone quiet.
Lord Mettlebright’s Man. There have been a handful of private asides, but It’s been unusually quiet in comments lately, and I’m curious why.
Tongue in Cheek. You don’t actually have to comment for me to keep going. I know lots of you love Jacques and care about his outcomes. This is mostly me popping up to ask my own aside. “Hey, are you okay, over there?” If life’s been crazy where you are, please know that I care & hope my stories can somehow keep you company. :: hug ::
