LMM 362: Three Is Company

(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 enjoys a good canoodle.

Today’s the Day!
Narration Begins. Travis Baldree will begin narrating Flattered by Flowers: The Anthology today. This is the second of the Songs of the Amaranthine anthologies, which includes Songs 05 – 08. This morning, he’ll begin with Hemmed in Silver. I hope you can drop by and listen in. It’s always fun to watch him work.

Start Time is usually between 8am – 9am (Pacific). It’ll be fun to have voices for Pennythwaite, Thrussel, Alfie, and the rest. ::twinkle::

Travis Baldree does a splendid job of bringing my assorted casts to life, and he lets folks listen in (and watch) while he does his thing. Since my turn on his docket is coming up in a couple of days, I’m inviting you to join in on the fun. You’ll need Discord. Let’s see. I explained the HOW TO on this post, from when he narrated Galleries of Stone.

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.
