LMM 410: Novelties
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 a wild side.

“Flight isn’t a novelty for me.”
“I almost can’t...

Available for Pre-Order
Flattered by Flowers: The Anthology will be releasing on May 22 in both print and audio formats. The narrated stories, courtesy of Travis Baldree, are now available for pre-order from Amazon/Audible. Let’s do another snippet, this time featuring the Dare brothers!
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. Ch30, “Safely Stabled” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch26, “In and Out” just 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 >>

If all goes according to schedule, I’ll be shipping books next week! If you’re interested in securing an author-signed copy (of any of my books), you can definitely still get in on that initial mailing! Details on this post >>

“Well, that’s one way to make an entrance,” Jacques murmured.

“You’re not mothering me, are you?”
“No.” The swing of his tail brushed...
