September’s Batch
LMM. Well, I somehow managed to add thirty more chapters to Lord Mettlebright’s Man. Good progress. But so much more story to tell. Who’s up for another month? I plan to use #Inktober2019 prompts, but you may still contribute ideas for future chapters. The prompt post is here. This is how October is setting up:

LMM 61: Lowering Inhibitions
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially for the one who isn’t even trying to be insulting.
Chapter Sixty-One: Lowering Inhibitions
“Is there another bottle?”
Valor circled both arms. “A cask.”
Sufficient inducement to descend. Perhaps he could make canapes. And i...

LMM 60: Generosity Itself
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the friendly one.
Chapter Sixty: Generosity Itself
Jacques savored another mouthful, which mixed and mingled with his senses, mellowing his mood. He lifted the glass and blinked slowly. Was it… glowing? “I didn’t know you...
LMM 59: Discerning Palate
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially for the sophisticated one.
Chapter Fifty-Nine: Discerning Palate
Introductions went overlong, and Jacques managed to avoid the welcoming feast, having no appetite for such delicacies as finger of chicken. So absurd.
He was...

LMM 58: Gifts for the Hostess
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially for the one who isn’t empty-handed.
Chapter Fifty-Eight: Gifts for the Hostess
“So you’re the one.” Harmonious Starmark, large as life. “I’ve been wanting to meet Stately House’s new butler.”
Jacques’ attention flicked bri...
LMM 57: Lofty Personage
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the ones who shed.
Chapter Fifty-Seven: Lofty Personage
Jacques smuggled Nonny through the kitchen door and into Michael’s affable oversight.
On his way back through the house, he inclined his head to the entourage on the s...

Countdown to Songs 3
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!
