LMM 388: Empty Belly
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 full of news.

Empty Belly
Jacques woke to the reassuring scent of Lapis’s perfumed oil. A soft clink—cup meeting saucer. A papery whisper—the turn of a page. So peaceful.
Then another sound chided him—t...

Worn Out
After a sleepless night, Jacques was more than ready to join Lapis. Hisoka yielded his place with a grateful smile, and Jacques ferried away a jumble of paperbacks and biscuit tins.

One of the Crazy Ones
“But you’re my choice. Wish you’d believe me.” Nonny grumbled, “I can’t exactly stop.”
“Did you know I love Argent?”
“How thick do you think I am, Devotion?”

Anthology in Print
Flattered by Flowers: The Anthology IS listed on Amazon. But it’s listed as “currently unavailable,” so you can’t pre-order it. Which seems odd, but there you go. Click through if you like. I’ll contact customer service & see if we can’t get the status adjusted.

A Lot Can Happen
“Are you threatening me?”
“I’m promising.”
Jacques knew Nonny meant it, but he knew what going away could mean. “A lot can happen in three years.”
“You doubting me?”

Release Day
Flattered by Flowers. Today’s the day! The 8th Songs of the Amaranthine tale has released. Here’s hoping you enjoy the new addition. And since such tales are short & sweet, I’ll make this post do double duty as the Squee Post for Flattered by Flowers.

Release Eve
Flattered by Flowers. By my reckoning, pre-orders have already started to deploy, depending on your location. Here in the US, I think we have about 4 hours before I begin checking my Kindle. Sooo… I’ll be putting together & scheduling a release day post soon. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your read!
FINAL HOURS
Still time to pre-order!

Junpei
Flattered by Flowers (Songs of the Amaranthine, #8) will release on Monday (4/4), and that means you’ll soon be meeting Junpei. If you’ve pre-ordered your ebook, you may even get to read his story a day early! For now, here’s a tiny introduction. Screencaps from the digital book & of the typeset page for the print edition (which releases 5/22).
