Better Part of Valor
Only Mostly Optional. All along, I’ve been saying that the short stories in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection are optional reading. Yes, you’ll pick up more details about the clans and their customs, but the stories stand alone. If you skip them, you’ll still be able to enjoy the Amaranthine Saga. But as is often the case when I write, I’ve been making connections between the Saga & Songs. And they’re now so tightly woven, it’d be a shame if you missed out.
I’ve added a note at the beginning of Bk6: Pimiko and the Uncharted Island, encouraging folks to read Bathed in Moonlight and Flattered by Flowers before proceeding. And Lord Mettlebright’s Man, for that matter. For … reasons.
Thank you to those of you who’ve read ALL the things. And most especially to all of you who also took the time to review & recommend the Saga & Songs to others. I’m grateful.

Better Together
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. Ch28, “My Lady” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch24, “Unfinished Business” just 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 >>

Break with Tradition
If / Then. If you’re like me, and you couldn’t get enough of the comfortable friendship between Tanaka and his reliable bestie Oota in Tanaka-kun Is Always Listless (slice-of-life, comedy, 12 episodes), then I’ve got a winner for you. Aharen-san wa Hakarenai (translates to Aharen-san in Indescipherable ) is currently simulcasting, and it’s got that same ambiance. Recommended!
After a circuitous adventure through three kinds of customer service, Flattered by Flowers: The Anthology is showing up on Amazon as available for pre-order. This is the print edition. 500+ pages. And so, so pretty! So it you’re looking to grab a copy this way, you can go for it now.
Side Note: Ordering signed copies from me won’t begin until May 1.
New in the Shops. To celebrate the addition of Flattered by Flowers to the Songs of the Amaranthine collection, we’ve added the pattern to our assorted shops. You can get them on totes, masks, notecards, journals, etc.
