Goals
Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection is now available. Do you need more reasons to reach for this story? How about this? There’s more than just Kip & Joe to this tale. Red Gate Farm is going to receive guests!
Joe’s (and Kip’s) story has officially released! This tale revisits the cast of Tamiko & the Two Janitors roughly ten years after the events of that book. That sets it (almost exactly) one year after the end of Bk7, so it’s a post-series story. The final word count puts it in novella territory, just over 35k, so it’s substantial as short stories go. This is mostly slice-of-life. But also family stuff. Squirrel courting shenanigans. Flutter nuggets. Feels. (The usual.)
He doesn’t need to say much. One word will do.
Since its founding, the Reaverson farm has become a thriving enclave, with Nightspangle wolves looking after the boundaries and Woodacre squirrels playing tag in the oak trees. Joe’s a patient guy. Good at taking care of what’s his. Good at encouraging things to grow. But not the greatest at speaking up. After a decade, he decides it’s time for a change. He has something small in mind, but when unexpected guests keep turning up at Red Gate Farm, Kip’s heart isn’t the only one due for a shakeup. **A short story that revisits the cast of Bk3: Tamiko and the Two Janitors, set a year after the end of the Amaranthine Saga. Cozy Fantasy. Slice-of-life. Courtship. Family.
Tomorrow is the Big Day. Of course, if you pre-order Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection, it’ll auto-deliver to your e-reader tonight. (At least that’s how it works in my time zone.)
Alder Woodacre and the Acorns of Affection will release on July 22. There’s still time to pre-order!

Minor Details
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::
