January Mailing

Includes a Rhomiko Excerpt! I finally received my box of art cards from the printer for the January mailing (better late than never). They include an excerpt from the upcoming series finale, Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, which I’ll need to push off another month. Probably looking at a March release now. If you want to get in on this lovely art card (5×7″ on heavy linen paper), today’s the last day to become a patron at the appropriate tier (Sparkle on up will be included in this one).

Rhomiko Teasers. The monthly mailing for January includes Rhomiko, the unique person that Hisoka-sensei carried home after the events of Book 6. And because we’re getting closer to the release of Rhomiko and the Confirmed Bachelor, I’ve included an excerpt from Bk7 on the card’s reverse. To capture one for yourself, become a patron at the appropriate tier. Teaser:

Rhomiko is neither male nor female (non-binary), and it was fun to work with Mart to make sure their appearance sends mixed messages.

Long Sleep. Amaranthine don’t need sleep often, but when they “go deep,” it’s often for days. Of all those you’ve met, Hisoka-sensei may have the most difficult time catching enough rest. His many obligations tend to infringe upon a normal sleep pattern. But Argent (ever the strategist) has found an effective counter. While Hisoka cannot indulge every month (and still pushes his limits), he’s found a safe haven in Jacques Smythe.

FanArt: Hisoka

I’m regularly reminded by readers that Hisoka-sensei may not be IY canon… but he should be.  I have a small pile of fanart for the longsuffering, diplomatic neko-youkai. Here’s one of them!

There’s been a quiet clamor for fics from those who ship Hisoka with Kagome. I’ve given permission for a few other fandom writers to add him to their stories. And as I’ve mentioned before, Hisoka-sensei has a place in my upcoming original story. Which has seen its share of delays but is most definitely COMING SOON!

Do you remember/like the good sensei?
