never more than forthright…
Up Next. I tweeted a teaser this morning about the next Songs of the Amaranthine title. While these short stories have always been intended to stand alone, I somehow still manage to give them a teensy tie-in to the main series. This time, that link is … Evernhold. You know what that means, don’t you? ::twinkle::
Cover reveal for Songs #4 is on the calendar for December!
Have you read (or recently re-read) Followed by Thunder? The history and culture of the horse clans is interesting stuff. ::twinkle::
One sister, a pure light that beckons, the other, a fierce light that burns. Fira and her sister are chased out of another village. Fleeing on foot across the empty moors, they’re caught by a storm that roars like the monsters ever in pursuit. But the wind changes and the thundering brings a stampede of defenders who carry them off to a secret place. Where mares dance and rabbits mine. Where the lost clans hid a lasting treasure. Where the girls’ curse is considered a blessing.
Let’s start a nice little rumor. Tantor Audio will be contracting the remaining books in the Amaranthine Saga. Travis Baldree’s narration will continue!
Rumorish Postscript. They’re also looking at the short stories in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection. Wouldn’t that be grand? ::twinkle::
Songs of the Amaranthine is a collection of short stories set in Forthright’s Amaranthine universe. Before the Emergence, the clans were nothing more than whispers and mysteries and legends and lore. But every so often—in out-of-the-way places or shockingly close to home—an unsuspecting person stumbled into a fateful encounter with someone who was decidedly other. An eclectic collection, spanning continents and centuries. Tales of adventure, discovery, friendship, rescue, belonging, and love. Each short story stands alone and can be read in any order.
He had one job. Becoming a family pet wasn’t it.
Dragged through Hedgerows. For the sake of his people, Daroo-fen has lived among humans, working as a lawyer in a little mountain town. He’s vowed to protect the surrounding woodlands, no matter the cost. But in the course of duty, he meets a man who needs help … and a friend. Too long a loner, Daroo cannot keep away, but there’s a fine line between getting close and getting too close. If the Cooper family finds out his secret, two worlds might brand the wolf a traitor.
Now Available!
::confetti toss::
Dragged through Hedgerows will be releasing this Friday, October 4. Do you have your copy of this short story pre-ordered? ::twinkle::
One More Week. Dragged through Hedgerows should be showing up for pre-order in ALL the places now, so go secure your copy of the next short story in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection. It’s another stand-alone story, but like the others, it’ll contribute to your knowledge of the clans and their customs.
As you may have gathered from the summary, this one’s much more contemporary. Here’s a teaser!

Have you read the other Songs of the Amaranthine titles? Here’s a friendly reminder every author’s ranking depends in large part upon their readers’ reviews. Even a sentence or two would be greatly appreciated. ::bow::
Dragged through Hedgerows. Edits came back for the next short story in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection. We’re on track for next month’s release. This is your reminder that if you read via Kindle, the story is available for pre-order on Amazon. It’ll probably start showing up in other venues soon. (After I make these tweaks.)

Who doesn’t love pins?! In keeping with tradition, one of my friends found a pin to fit the release of Tamiko and the Two Janitors. (Okay, she found *two* … but that’s another post.) Here’s a lovely feather to match those on the book cover. ::twinkle::
Celebrating a New Story. The second short story in the Songs of the Amaranthine collection is ready for readers! If you need an additional nudge toward the splurge or the indulgence of a few hours’ read, here are a couple of characters from the story, courtesy of FoxOfTwilight.
