The newest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door is now available on Patreon! There’s a new chapter of THE BOOK OF THE NEW MOON DOOR up on Patreon!

Song of the Week
Cat Power, “Cross Bones Style”
Hello! I hope you’re doing well this Monday morning.
This will be a pretty normal week around here: new chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on the blog Wednesday.
I do have two news items, though! First, I’m starting Twitch streaming again with the Tea and Sidequests channel. The plan is for me to stream Fridays and talk about some aspect of fantasy writing. This week, I’ll be playing Totally Accurate Battle Simulator and discussing fight scenes. On Saturdays, my husband/streaming partner will be doing exercise challenges.
Second, we have a new kitten! Her name is Shepard and she is four months old. She’s already helping me work (when she isn’t walking across my keyboard).
Solaire isn’t sure how to feel about her, but I think with time and patience they will become friends.
As always, thanks for being here, and have an excellent week.

New Patreon Post/ The Book of the New Moon Door: Part Two, Chapter Eight
Lady Breckenridge’s good name will protect her from any overt action, but a name isn’t armor. It isn’t a sword. It isn’t even as good as secrecy.

The man in the glittering black crown smiled at me, a paternal, placating expression that did not hide the devious hunger in his eyes.

Song of the Week
Opeth, “Soldier of Fortune” (Deep Purple cover)
Happy Monday! Yesterday was Juneteenth! I hope you had a good day.
I am back on my usual nonsense: the newest chapter of Journey to the Water will be up on Patreon tomorrow, and the latest chapter of The Book of the New Moon Door will make its appearance here on the website on Wednesday. I’m also working on The Well Below the Valley, and Episode 5 will be available before the end of the month!
Please pray for my lettuce as we enter another stretch of 90+ degree days here in the midwestern swamp. (This is not a euphemism–I am growing lettuce, and supposedly it prefers cooler weather).
Anyway, climate change is real, and none of us are free until all of us are free, and time creeps inexorably onward (this song was released SIXTEEN YEARS AGO??). Have a good week, and stay safe.
New Patreon Post/ The Book of the New Moon Door: Part Two, Chapter Seven
“If there is a haunting, it is your duty to dispel it. What are you doing here?”
