Author Q&A
[image error]
Ask Forthy. You have questions, and I know how to dodge them. But there’s a decent chance I’ll answer them. Or you could address yourselves to the cast. (They might cooperate.) You can ask as many questions as you like. My only request is that you don’t pack two dozen questions into one comment. One or two related questions per comment will keep the threads from tangling.
[[ HERE THERE BE SPOILERS ]]
**Forthy doesn’t believe in author-spoilers, so you’re safe from me, but some of you are pre...
Post Release Party!

Where? Right here on the blog. What’s Happening? Author Q&A, more character art, an official unveiling of Bk2, dignified squee-ing, and rampant speculation. How do I participate? In comments. Refresh often. Where do I post my questions? On the designated Q&A post. When? Give me five minutes. ::twinkle::May 1, 2018

Chapter 20: Still
Made it! Kagome huffed in relief. Carrion crows were capable of burrowing into the heart and reanimating their victim’s corpse. So gross. She pushed up on her arms, finding herself nose-to-nose with Sesshoumaru. “Sorry! Did I hurt you?”
He ma...

Next Weekend
May the forth be with you. This is a friendly reminder that there’s a post-release party planned for next weekend (May 4-5-6), which will include—but may not be limited to—an Author Q&A about Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox, the first book in the Amaranthine Saga. Everyone who wants a copy can now get a copy (print editions ship promptly, digital editions provide instant access), but if you haven’t gotten around to actually reading the book yet … you have a scant week!
Save up your questions. Ma...

Chapter 19: Found
Kagome tripped in her haste; then Sango had her by the elbow, hustling her toward camp.
“Sister!” Kohaku ran to meet them, weapon ready. “How many?”
“Too many,” Sango snapped. “Take Kirara.”
Miroku joined them, smiling faintly. “I almost miss m...

FanArt: Unspoiled
I rummaged through my fandom file for something to post and found this bit of art for Unspoiled. That fic garnered a lot of attention, from chibi art to full illustrations, cosplay, and even comics. Like this set of panels by Mako.

Chapter 18: Woken
Shippo knew it was stupid, knew he might die trying. But he also knew what it was like.
On stealthy fox paws, he went to where they’d put Sesshoumaru. Kohaku’s bedroll was closest to the injured demon, but the older boy had given in to exhaustion.

Chapter 17: Drenched
“We cannot submerge you until the wounds close.” The monk kept his eyes lowered. “Say something if we make you … uncomfortable.”
Kohaku poured water, and Sesshoumaru withdrew into himself, ignoring their hands, enduring their intrusion, failing to c...
