Perks of Author-Signed Books
The SWAG has landed. Pretty, shimmery promo cards for Followed by Thunder will be tucked into outgoing copies of Tamiko and the Two Janitors, which are scheduled to drop onto forthy’s doormat this afternoon … and zip like codes to readers first thing Friday morning. There’s still time to get into that first batch of books. Order a personalized copy! SIGNED BOOKS >>

P.S. The books (print and digital) are showing up in ALL the online venues now, if you prefer to purchase through your usual ven...
Goofing
Anime Me. A friend referred me to a site where you can make your own anime character and/or persona. Although nothing is in English, navigation is pretty intuitive. I had fun making a forth-sona. Who else wants to give it a try? LINK >>

My default bun wasn’t an option, so the hair’s down for once. (Do people even wear overalls anymore?) ::twinkle::

Because details…
Sealed with a Sock. I’ve been filling out address labels all afternoon, and I thought you might enjoy a peek. Because I’m mixing things up. (Well, let’s hope I haven’t mixed up your mystical digits of finding.) What I mean is … we updated the address labels in honor of Tamiko and the Two Janitors. Because labels can be swag, too. ::twinkle::

All the Things, All the Places
All Systems Go. Details are my delight (even when they stage an ambush). I’m slouching in to report that ALL the things have been variously uploaded to, implemented at, and ordered from ALL the places. Tamiko is at the printer. The rubber stamp for this book’s personal touch is ordered. New address labels are on the way, as is assorted swag. Oh, and I had to buy BIGGER blue mailers for readers who are already asking me to ship signed books in multiples greater than two. Travis has the manuscr...

FAQ
Will you still finish Unexpected, even though you’re publishing Tamiko and the Two Janitors?
Oh, I’ll have to. Unexpected (my InuYasha AU featuring Kagome as an elementary school principal and Inuyasha & Shippo as janitors) is a VERY different story from the third book in the Amaranthine Saga. I definitely borrowed a few details. And then I may have borrowed a few other details. But the finished book serves the Saga. Fandom will have to wait its turn (but it will get one).

Signed Copies
Open for Pre-Orders. Tamiko and the Two Janitors will release later this month. As promised, I’m now accepting pre-orders from those wanting an author-signed copy. Order details are under the SIGNED BOOKS tab, or simply click here >>
This book is longer (yay!) which means print and shipping costs are higher (yipe!), so I need to nudge up your cost for Bk3 to $25 USD. You can still request copies of Tsumiko or Kimiko for $20 USD. Bookplates will also be available for those who purchase their p...

Lulling
I’ve been scarce, and you can blame the janitors. Culminating plots have a way of banishing all else from my mind. Apologies to those who’re waiting on this or that. As always, I’m grateful for your patience. And while I have you here, a couple of questions keep cropping up in my inbox:
When will Tamiko and the Two Janitors print editions be available for pre-order?
For the general marketplace (online orders from online bookstores), I don’t have an exact date. Too many variables that are out...
