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.

LMM 614: Alternative Medicine

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.

Alternative Medicine

“Lord, you’re big as a wolf,” Jacques complained in admiring tones. “Now set me down. I brought remedies for heartbreak.”

“Who said anything about heartbreak?”

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 burly one.

Hard

Timur looked shocked. And ready to argue.

Jacques wasn’t finished. “Sacrifices are personal things, and you’ve made several. Twenty-four, if I recall correctly. It must be hitting you hard a...

Announcing … Coop!

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...

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

Practically Strangers

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...

Bard & Barbarian

Narrated Edition. Bard and Barbarian has been posting slow and steady over on my Patreon account. Reading along is great, but supporters on some tiers can now listen along. The story is being narrated by Travis Baldree. Ch54, “Shrillers and Shamblers” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch50, “The Strongest Magic” has unlocked for the Twinkle and Sparkle tiers.

New narrated chapters will arrive every other Wednesday, which means … there’s always something more to look for...

Honorary Uncle

Jacques faced himself and decided that yes, he was feeling shy about Timur.

Like most reaver kids, Michael and Sansa’s oldest boy only returned to Stately House for the odd reave...

Calving

“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.
