LMM 328: Stampede
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 who’s mostly been away.

Stampede
Argent dismissed his mischief with a subtle flick.
Jacques reopened the front door, slammed it, and raised his voice. “Mon dieu! Look who it is!”
The predictable stam...

Need a Friend
Pokemon GO! From time to time, I mention that I play … usually when a challenge insists that I make a new friend. Sure, I know I could just nab some rando from the interwebz, but I enjoy playing with reading friends. So … who’s game? ALSO, if you’re already a friend & still need a friend, nudge me anyhow. Another member of my household also plays. In fact, we often raid together. ::eyebrow waggle::

Chapter 271: Novel
Sesshoumaru let the women go, having been—of all things—dismissed with a smile. He was still contemplating that novelty when the fox scampered over.
“They think you’re a ghost,” Shippo rolled his eyes. “No feet.”
“Hnn.” Pulling his legs up...

LMM 327: Too Soon for Sorrow
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 full days.

Too Soon for Sorrow
“He’s a man. I’ll grant him that.” Jacques took a soothing tone. “But he’s a very young man.”
Suuzu’s voice was barely a whisper. “Years fly.”
“They slow if you fi...
Moonglade
Bathed in Moonlight. The book cover is so pretty, it makes a lovely tote. To help celebrate release day for Songs 07, we’ve added “Moonglade” to the shops (Threadless & TeePublic). You can get the pattern on note cards, journals, zipper bags, etc.
Every Name a Story
Bathed in Moonlight. There are several wolves in the new short story, and most of them are dexes. We actually get a proper introduction to one of them, so in honor of release day, I’m posting Henloo’s. ::twinkle::
I suppose next, you’ll be wanting a full listing of the Seven Score Moons? I’ll have Sinder print out a copy for you, too.
Release Day
Bathed in Moonlight. Today’s the day! The 7th Songs of the Amaranthine tale has released. I hope it’s well-received. And since such tales are short & sweet, I’ll make this post do double duty as the Squee Post for Bathed in Moonlight.
Some courtships follow all the rules. Some courtships bend them.
As the Seven Score Moons cycle through their phases, the appointed time for the Queen’s Festival draws near. Wolves from all over will gather at a site that the packs count as sacred, to sing fo...

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. Ch19, “Alteration of Years” just went live for those in qualifying tiers. AND Ch15, “Reprise” 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 >>

Chapter 270: Trusted
Kagome was pleased when they reached the taijiya village’s haven. Miroku hurried forward, offering a hand for Shishi’s inspection. The rest gathered but stayed well back.
“Aren’t there more than before?” asked Kagome.
“There are.” Miro...
