Release Eve
Lord Mettlebright’s Man. Jacques’ story will release on the morrow, but for those who pre-order, there’ll probably be an electronic delivery this evening. And readers on *other* continents always get books first. ::twinkle:: As per usual, I’ll schedule an official release day announcement & squee post for midnight in my time zone. In the meantime … happy #PrideMonth.

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 one with mastery.

Coop and the Elderbough Trackers (Amaranthine Interludes, #4). Well, hey … it’s June! With Lord Mettlebright’s Man releasing in a few days (6/4), it’s time to chat about what’s next. Because I’m kicking off another serial on the blog.

He always liked running wild. Now, he runs with wolves.
Cole Pfeiffer-Cooper, who prefers to be called Coop, became part of a pack way before the world found out about the Amaranthine. He was eight when his family took in Daroo-fen Clearsong, so by the time t...

In a twist Jacques should have seen coming, Argent told him to pack for a long weekend at Glintrubble enclave.
His trepidation was easily matched by...

AND Ch50, “The Strongest Magic” has unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.

“Do I seem the sort to hang about in barns?”
“No, but you like babies.”
“I suppose I do.” Jacques arched his brows, sure there was more.
Kyrie asked, “Are you going ...
