Patreon Profile Pic

Site Update. Thanks to new specifications over on Patreon, I needed a new (much bigger) profile picture, so FoxOfTwilight came to my rescue. The resulting 4thy portrait includes a spoiler teaser for the seventh and final book in the Amaranthine Saga! Here’s a teaser for you! ::twinkle::

LMM 492: New Arrivals

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 who’s out of some loops.

Jacques stood a little straighter. “My lord?”

“There were arrivals while you were off ga...

LMM 491: Utter Tease

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

Utter Tease

Jacques heart clenched to see injury on Nonny’s face.

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 affectionate one.

Jacques took extra care with albeit hasty ablutions. Tattle-tale scents banished, he made an appearance.

ART: Samesies

Countdown. We’re one month away from the release of Pimiko and the Uncharted Island, so I’m doing a character reveal. Here’s a teaser. Full illustration is under a cut in case you DON’T want to know anything more before you get to read the book. ::twinkle::

Pim Moonprowl, the titular character for Book 6, is an American actress. But you knew that already. Or did you? Pim has been around for a while. In fact, she was first mentioned in Bk3:

Fandom Anniversary

Sixteen Years. As many of you know, I learned the ropes of writing fiction in fandom. I’ve always left my old stories, even the ones that make me cringe, posted.

Release Day: October 22, 2022

Pre-orders should begin showing up in all online bookstores within the next week or two. (Digital editions might already be there. Probably.) Ah, this is so exciting! :: confetti toss ::
