ART: Seafaring
Release Eve. Tomorrow is release day for Pimiko and the Uncharted Island (Amaranthine Saga, #6), but since the digital edition will no-doubt begin showing up on e-readers this evening (in my timezone), I’m kicking off the festivities early with new art!

Close and Closer
Release Day is October 22. But for those of us who pre-ordered Pimiko and the Uncharted Island on Amazon, the book will likely turn up on our e-readers tomorrow evening. (Mine usually shows up between 9-10pm on Release Eve.) I’ll prep all the usual announcement & squee posts tomorrow, then schedule them. (There’s new art in the offing, too!) In the meantime, here’s another tiny teaser. Pim Moonprowl’s first scene:

All You Gotta Be
“We’ve kissed. Sonnet and I.”
Ginkgo didn’t look nearly as shocked or as concerned as his father had been. “Wolves always want a taste.”
“But this felt like a kiss.”
“Then ...

Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch53, “Bog.” Because of course the only way to accomplish this mission is to tromp through a bog.

Romanticized
“There’s no romance.” Jacques was skeptical.
“Oh, I wouldn’t say that. This is Sonnet we’re talking about. He romanticizes gruel.” Ginkgo nodded in the direction of the ...

Jacques muttered, “I can’t be here for him always.”
“Did he ask for always?”
“Only for tonight.”
Ginkgo’s ears pricked. “That bothers you, doesn’t it?”
Jacqu...

“You think I’m sexy?”
Ginkgo chuckled. “Sure. Sexy and sulky and sultry and salty. And you pull off the silver eyeliner way better than I do. More to the point… you feel...
