Hello, Patient Readers.

Above, you see Taro (top) and Mochi (bottom), playing in their favorite cat tree after Taro's return. They are once more like one mind with two brains - inseparable.

In other news, I finished my Cormorant edit! Now the novel is out to beta readers to search and destroy typos. Homophones are my bane. They are the blackberries of my written words. Kudzu, if you're in the south. I hates them, my precious, and rely on some helpful volunteers to weed them out. Once the blackberries and kudzu have been killed with fire, you'll get the book.

The entire series is on pre-order here.

What else have I been doing?

A lot of production-related stuff to get the Pirates of Wefrivain novels re-launched and the new one out the door.

I also updated my summary of rewards on Patreon. Among other things, you can listen to quite a chunk of that first pirates book for free, if that's interesting to you.

New Short Story

This time it's a Cormorant excerpt! But this excerpt stands on its own as a short story that even new readers can enjoy.

On the eve of his arranged marriage to a princess, a miserable Percy receives an ironic gift - a palace slave who is in love with his wife-to-be. Percy tries to free Layjen and send him away, but Layjen has other ideas.

Reading it here.
