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. Ch32, “Theory and Practice” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch28, “My Lady” 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 forward to! Learn more about my Patreon here >>

Deece’s technique with massage was as potent as ever. When Josheb’s soft snores signaled a release from the day’s obligations, Jacques sought the sanctuary of his rooms only to find t...
Catching Up
Weekend Event. I had a lot of fun with #GoFest2022, but long days of trekking left me too tuckered to form thoughts. That’s why LMM is lagging. Let’s catch up! ::twinkle::

#GoFest2022
Gotta Catch ‘Em All. This weekend is Pokemon GO Fest, so I’ll be goofing off for the duration. If you also play & your missions require friending, I love playing alongside my readers (and their kinfolk). Drop me an email – always.forthright at gmail dot com – and we can swap friends codes!
