LMM 465: Alpha Male
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 courted a dog.

Alpha Male
Jacques knew he liked Sentinel Skybellow.
Though he’d left the packs to become Rampant Starmark’s bondmate, Sentinel hadn’t shed all his wolvish aesthetic. He dressed the p...

That Certain Swagger
“Lord. You’re probably the reason Sonnet became a wolf.”
“I’m a dog.”
“A practicing dog. With wolvish swagger.” Jacques lowered his voice. “How could Sonnet not...

Sad Huddle
Jacques sat before Sentinel, whose gaze was entirely mournful. His eyes were the same amber as Sonnet’s. A Skybellow trait.
“I’m glad we’ve a moment alone. Argent suggested I have a...

Narration, Final Day
Pimiko and the Uncharted Island. And here we are at the last day of narration for Bk6. Thank you to everyone who dropped by for either a sneak-listen or for the long haul. Your reactions to every little thing has been a big encouragement. To the rest, I hope you’ll find your patience richly rewarded when Pimiko releases in October.
You can pre-order the Kindle edition now over on Amazon >>

Narration, Day 3
I’ll be on hand while Travis Baldree tackles a third day of narration for Pimiko and the Uncharted Island. We’ve hit the halfway point, and complications abound. Honestly, if you haven’t been able to listen in for Day 1 or Day 2, steer clear, or you’ll spoiler yourself. The rest of you … be brave and do your best! And shhhhh! ::twinkle::
The audio book will release at the same time as the print/digital editions: October 22, 2022.

Well Suited
“A baby? Whose baby?”
Jacques would swear Rampant squeaked.
“Mine.” Sonnet firmed her stance. “Vanya is mine.”
“Another fosterling! And such a beautiful soul. Oh! He’...

Narration, Day 2
Won’t be much longer before Travis Baldree dives in to a second day of narration. Book 6 is well underway, and my jitters have calmed somewhat. For those who were able to listen yesterday … are you braced for more? Also … shhh! ::twinkle::
The audio book will release at the same time as the print/digital editions: October 22, 2022.

LMM 461: Open to Interpretation
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 gender fluid one.

Open to Interpretation
Jacques kissed the corner of Sonnet’s smile. To strengthen it. Or maybe because while Sonnet could be a lady, he was also unabashedly masculine, especially while stripp...

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.
