LMM 358: Weighing Responsibilities
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 responsible one.

Weighing Responsibilities
Argent lingered, puttering about the edges of the suite, adding wards that were probably so redundant as to be pointless.
“Don’t you have to go orchestrate peace o...

Lunar New Year
Patreon Perk. As I mentioned in this post, I’m readying a special mailing for qualifying patrons because the Emergence (in the Amaranthine Saga) coincides with the Lunar New Year. So it’s an annual treat! Those who join at the appropriate tiers during the month of February will receive a red envelope & lucky coins. (Reminder: those at the Twinkle tier need to request the mailing! Automatic inclusion begins at the Sparkle tier.) Thanks, as always, for your support here, there, and wherever you fi...
LMM 357: Drawing a Line
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 largeish family.

Drawing a Line
“You will not—under any circumstances—use your body to barter on my behalf.”
“Are you actually calling me a whore?”
“I am drawing a line.”
“Lord. What’s gott...
Cover Reveal
Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons (Amaranthine Interludes, #2). To help celebrate the Lunar New Year, which coincides with the Emergence in the Amaranthine Saga, I’m unveiling the official book cover for the upcoming serial, Kimiko and the Cycle of Moons, which will be told over on my Patreon once we reach the Community Goal of 400 supporters. It will be available to those pledging $4/month or more. That’s the Twinkle tier! ::twinkle::
“Loosely based on the old Amaranthine tale, ‘The Wolf an...

Old Enough to Know Better
Argent herded Jacques to their rooms, insisting that his man needed to rest and refresh himself after a long-drawn day. Which was true. Still, Jacques was in new territo...

Goofing Off in Fandom
Nearly Ready. I started early, but I also started from scratch. The next Unexpected chapter is nearly ready, and I’ll tuck that away before starting in on VASSAL. I can sometimes pull together drabble chapters in fairly short order, but … we shall see. You can help by dropping prompts in comments over on my Ko-fi account >>

LMM 355: On the Contrary
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 his share of interests.

On the Contrary
Poor Harmonious. He looked properly scandalized. Understandable, given canine sensibilities.
The others had arrived, as well. Sinder’s shoulders were shaking...

Save the Date
Fourth Saturday. We’re into a new year, and I’m doing my best to stay on top of writing goals. This coming Saturday will be our first “Fandom Foray” event over on my Ko-fi account. I’ll be goofing off with fanfics for a few hours. We’re overdue for some Vassal updates, and Unexpected will see a new installment. Save the date! ::twinkle::
LMM 354: Perhaps Not Entirely Impervious
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 persuasive ones.

Perhaps Not Entirely Impervious
Throughout tea, Jacques attempted to steer the conversation, but he was only invulnerable to sway. Not to beauty or charm. And definitely not to Lord Deeptrove’...
Bard & Barbarian
Twinkle Press Presents | art by FoxOfTwilight
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. Ch23, “Lullaby Boy” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch19, “Alteration of Years” 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!...
