Cover Reveal

Pocket Editions. I’ve finally gotten all the stars aligned for this first release of Songs of the Amaranthine print editions. This teensy book is off to the presses, and release day isn’t far off. Here’s all the important information:

  • Marked by Stars & A Song for Moon is a print-only release.
  • The paperback is just 4×6″
  • I totally changed up the color scheme. Starmark colors!
  • A Song for Moon is a brand new short story that got a little longer than intended. It almost doubled the size of the book! (MbS is 19k, and aSfM is 12k.)
  • You can pre-order the print book on Amazon.
  • You can add the pocket edition to your Goodreads shelves.
  • Yes, you’ll be able to request signed copies from me. I’ve ordered a box of books, and they might arrive by release day. Maybe. But I doubt it. It’s probably too tight to turn it around because…
  • Release Day is Tuesday, February 17, 2026 (Lunar New Year).
  • Costs? It retails at $12.99 USD. Thanks to recent hikes in shipping costs (both from the printer & off again to you), I’m going to have to ask for $20 for signed books, which will cover shipping in the United States. International orders … we’ll have to chat in messages. The cost varies by country, but you can expect the price to double. If you want to pre-order an author signed copy from me, go ahead and email me at always.forthright@gmail.com. I can start taking names.
