Squee Post
Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate. If you need a place to react, confer, or kick up a fuss, this is the spot. I’ll enjoy your enthusiasm, I might be willing to clarify small points, but I reserve the right to evade questions that will be answered later in the series. ::twinkle::

Release Day!
Release Day • October 22, 2021
She could make a mess of everything. Especially him.
The Junzi—also known as the Four Gentlemen—are a set of ancient weapons fashioned from remnants. Dragons refer to them as the Four Storms, and Hisoka Twineshaft believes they will make a difference in the hunt for the rogue. But someone else is interested in gathering up these crystal masterpieces. The so-called Gentleman Bandit is responsible for two thefts already, and Hisoka is concerned for the Bamboo S...

LMM 315: Mentoring Style
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 riding crop.

Mentoring Style
Jacques took delivery of a parcel from Uppington and immediately sought out Nonny. “My years in dressage left me with more than high boots and a riding crop!”
The kid...
Release Eve
Fumiko and the Finicky Nestmate. While Fumiko officially releases tomorrow, many of you will find the fifth book in the Amaranthine Saga downloading to your e-reader tonight. (Mine always shows up before 10pm.) OR you live in the future, because it’s already the 22nd in your hemisphere. So the festivities begin early. Happy Release Eve!
An official Release Day post is scheduled to go up at midnight here, with a Squee Post close on its heels. But I know from long experience that tomorrow will...

Cub Reporter
Naruto Fanfic. I’m on schedule (for once) because Cub Reporter has updated with Ch5: “Healthy Appetite.”
Summary: Sequel to News Hound. Iruka reaches the meeting point for his next undercover mission a day early. Terranean is a big enough city, getting lost in the crowds should be a cinch. But what’s lost can be found. And being found out would be disastrous. [Iruka & Kakashi/Sukea/Hound] A Naruto fanfic.
How did Wednesdays suddenly get So Busy!?
Frosted Pumpkins
New Tote. Hemmed in Silver didn’t have a tote yet. Since it’s pumpkin season, we took that route as an homage to the cozies’ Frost Festival. The pattern’s available in my shops on a variety of merchandise, from notebooks to note cards, journals, and zipper bags.
LMM 314: The American
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 likeable one.

The American
Jacques slid into Michael’s chair. “You’re American.”
“Sure am!” Jiminy left off twiddling to ask, “Are you one of First-sensei’s students, too?”
“Michael’s? Lord, no. I’m Stat...

LMM 313: Must Be Catching
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 a mentor now.

Must Be Catching
Michael had never once asked for it, but that didn’t stop Jacques from bringing the man tea at appropriate intervals. Sometimes, they shared the pot. Michael was genero...

Manga Recommendation
If / Then. If you’re like me, and you think Kimi ni Todoke is just about the sweetest anime/manga in existence, then I have a recommendation for you. Ran the Peerless Beauty (complete in 10 volumes) has the same innocence and adorability. Recommended!
Bard & Barbarian
Updated! Bard & Barbarian has updated over on my Patreon with Ch29, “Springheels.” Imber gets to know his new summons. (I have no idea how he keeps them straight.)
