Site Update. Thanks to new specifications over on Patreon, I needed a new (much bigger) profile picture, so FoxOfTwilight came to my rescue. The resulting 4thy portrait includes a spoiler teaser for the seventh and final book in the Amaranthine Saga! Here’s a teaser for you! ::twinkle::
If you use BookBub to find out about ebook sales in your preferred reading genres, you can now follow me there. I’ve been subscribing to their deals for AGES, but I just set up an author profile. Check it out >> You’ll be alerted to sales on my titles, and you’ll know if I recommend a book.
Speaking of sales, Amazon has made Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal a monthly deal for June. You can nab it for just $ .99 in the US and Canadian storefronts. Who would you recommend it to?

CURRENTLY UPDATING
Bard & Barbarian posts exclusively to Patreon. Now with serialized narration! Become a patron to read along.
Coop and the Elderbough Trackers – Cole Pfeiffer-Cooper, who prefers to be called Coop, became part of a pack way before the world found out about the Amaranthine. He was eight when his family took in Daroo-fen Clearsong, back in Dragged through Hedgerows (Songs of the Amaranthine, #3). Begins here.

Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons (Amaranthine Interludes, #3) posts exclusively to Patreon. Join at the Twinkle tier ($4/month) and subscription to the tale will be one of your perks.
With every kiss he accepts, her claim on him wins hearts the world over.
Readers have often asked for more of Kimiko Miyabe’s courtship of Eloquence Starmark. Their grand cycle is a tale I’ll be telling as a Patreon-exclusive serialization, which is now ongoing. Their story will range from the seamstress’s workroom at the Starmark compound to the forming of fresh triads at New Saga High School. And you can look forward to all the drama at Kikusawa Shrine: three sisters, twelve kisses, and the long-awaited stirring of a sleeping landmark. Cozy Fantasy. Slice-of-Life. Family. Courtship.

Governed by Whimsy has now been added to the Songs of the Amaranthine series page on Goodreads (thanks, Goodreads librarians!), so you can add it to your shelves. Again, this ISBN/edition is the solo digital edition. When the anthology comes out, it’ll have a different designator, and the (oh, so clever) title will be … Governed by Whimsy: The Anthology.
If you’re not already following me on Goodreads, it’s a great way to keep up with whatever’s going on: book giveaways, new titles, release dates, etc.
It’s begun! If you want to buddy up, here’s a link to my NaNoWriMo profile >>
If you’re on Goodreads, you can shelve the Amaranthine Saga. Tamiko and the Two Janitors was added to the series this morning. ::twinkle::
This year, I’ll use National Novel Writing Month to best advantage by taking last year’s gobbledy-gook of word sprints & jumbled scene snippets and transforming them into finished chapters. If all goes well, that should carry me about halfway through Bk3. It won’t be easy, but the best things aren’t. ::twinkle::

I just ventured onto two websites I haven’t visited in… seems like forever. Mostly checking to see if the profiles were still up to date. (But of course I had a lovely wallow through the fanart.)
Full Spread. I have a dwindling pile of spoiler-free promotional oddments, but I’m saving back a bunch of quotes and character introductions and discussion posts until after release day. (Mostly because I’ve always preferred to let a story tell itself.) So with the countdown hitting four days, I’ll stick to safe territory. For instance, here’s what the full spread of Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox‘s cover looks like:
On a related note, here’s the social media spread. Have you variously friended and followed me in the places I’m active? Continue reading
Anyone else doing NaNoWriMo this year? I’m officially logged in as … well, as me. Want to buddy up? I’ll be blitzing through the third book in the original series I keep mentioning. (Because the first is nearly ready for release, and the second has already been roughed in.) I make a decent cheerleader, and I’m always up for some word sprints! ::twinkle::
Because I celebrate every little thing. You keep my life interesting. I can only attempt to return the favor. ~forthy
