Wednesday, July 9 at 8 a.m. (Pacific), the next Amaranthine Outtake will drop over on my Patreon. That’s tomorrow! This is a Patreon event, but anyone can get in on the excitement. Just head over to my shop.
Their unlikely attachment would establish a dynasty.
He’s a reaver boy, raised by the fox whose captivity is a family secret. She’s a reaver girl whose line is both favored by and feared by dragonkind. The ward rising through the ranks meets the battler with a healer’s touch. They have little in common, or so they thought. Because trust can be shared, and friendship can belong to two. [An Amaranthine Saga prequel that offers glimpses of Michael and Sansa during their Ingress Academy days.]
This short story has been narrated by Travis Baldree. As a reminder, I’ve set up a drop over on Patreon, where you’ll find a countdown to its debut on Wednesday, July 9 at 8:00 a.m. (Pacific). Leading up to its release (or anytime after), you’ll be able to purchase Once & Well in my shop.

Cover Reveal
Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection. A new Amaranthine Interlude will be releasing later this month! Set ten years after the events of Bk3: Tamiko and the Two Janitors, this story is mostly about Joe & Kip. The timeline puts this story one year after the events of Rhomiko, which wrapped up the main series, so you’ll get some hints and glimpses of … well, more. Because there’s always more to any story. ::twinkle::

Folk-Spelled Cast
Purdle the Water Sprite. I’ve been asked several times about his size. In my notes, he’s just six inches tall, so quite small. His trusty steed Cubit‘s name is a hint about his size, since a cubit was an ancient measure, roughly the distance from one’s fingertips to one’s elbow.
