Not on Purpose
Lulling. I swear, I don’t do this on purpose, but every time I let a fanfic lull (in this case, Mood Stripes hasn’t updated on the fanfiction site in a couple of weeks), readers over there hunt down my website. I can only assume they’re checking to make sure I’m still alive. ::twinkle::
I am alive! Thank you for caring so much about my stories!I currently have a book (10/22) & a short story (11/4) publishing back-to-back, and that’s made things busy.Lord Mettlebright’s Man has been updating ...

LMM 321: Handle with Care
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 notices things.

Handle with Care
“Oi, Jacques. You got a thing for hooves?”

Taking Responsibility
“Lord. They don’t actually pin you, do they?”
“Someone holds me tight. Usually Deece. He covers my eyes so I won’t see the knife.”
Ginkgo asked, “You’re con...

Incentives
Signed Books. One of the little things I’ve always done for author-signed copies of my books is a specially-made stamp. If you’re interested in buying a book from me, check out the Signed Books tab >>
LMM 319: Good Reflexes
Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

Good Reflexes
“Naturellement.” Jacques gave Nonny’s flocking a fluff. “Even prettier once your hooves are neatly trimmed and we add a splat of polish. Perchance, are you ti...

Hey, nonny, nonny…
Kiddo. Just wanted to drop this here in case you needed reminding of what Nonny looks like. (Art by FoxofTwilight.) And … while we’re at it! Those who were able to listen in on Travis Baldree’s recording sessions for the audio book of Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate already know that Nonny (who often employs Britticisms) has a Cockney accent. ::twinkle::
… such pretty flocking!

Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine.

Cloven
“What else would you call ’em?” Nonny snapped. “Dodo legs?”
Jacques rolled his eyes. “Nothing so extinct. May I touch?”
“If it’s you. Yeah.”
“Here, se...

Animal Husbandry
“I trust you,” Nonny forced a leaky laugh. “It’s knives I don’t.”
Ginkgo said, “Maybe explain things to me, first, Jacques. Ideally, without the knife in your hand.”

Phoenix Feathers
Release Day Edition. To help celebrate the release of Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate (Amaranthine Saga, #5), we’ve added the phoenix feather pattern from the book covers to totes (and masks, journals, zipper bags, etc.).

They moved to the garden. Open air offered better lighting and the polish meant fumes. Nonny’s grip on their chosen bench looked tight enough to c...
