Bones Coffee's Carrot Cake Flavor: Is it good?
Teresa Garcia (or Teresa Amehana Garcia / Amehana Arashi) is a rural Northern California mountain woman. Art supplies are at premium in a house of artists. She has health, intermittent mobility, and nerve pain issues which she pushes through as well as possible, in order to complete her tasks. With a busy autistic son she does not always have enough time for her own projects, and her work projects often eclipse her own personal projects.

She also paints, narrates on ACX, illustrates, fiddles about with ASMR readings, Reiki Master, Priestess, and is open for commission. She writes challenges for the online browser based role play of Dragon Hearts (which don’t always get coded) and administrates for Dreaming Twilight in SL. She volunteers time as curator for on-line libraries overseeing live and pre-recorded programs. She also is one of the administrators for the Nisa/Dreaming Twilight role play group and helps develop the lore for their program.

Review of The Story of Kao Yu
The Story of Kao Yu by Peter S. BeagleMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this short story. The unicorns of Europe are mentioned as are the unicorn-like beings of the Middle East and both differentiated from the qilin (kirin). A Mandate coming to a just judge is a wonderful turn away from only Emperors getting them. The impossible and one sided romance was intriguing and well handled. The qilin though, he and the judge tie for my favorite character. A qilin not goring someone that lied in his presence because he was asked not to by a generous and previously just man that had his respect? Unheard of previously!

This review will later be turned to an audio format for the Youtube channel.

Mythical Minstrelsy Volume Two available on Smashwords
The long awaited second volume in the Mythical Minstrelsy anthologies is now available on Smashwords. I have not yet gotten the Amazon Kindle version set up and uploaded yet, nor the print. Volume three I hope to have ready to push later this year after I get the cover ready. Long term Patreon Patrons will be sent the appropriate years in ecopies for their support.
Maria Lightwatch, a three tailed kitsune character of mine is the mascot and "official tale teller" for this series. Each book is a collection of that year's art, stories, meditations, and poetry, not including installations of the Selkies' Skins series or illustrations done for children's books. Each year's anthology will therefore be of varying lengths but will mostly tie in with mythology or folklore in some fashion.

Illya Leonov needs help with medical bills
I am slower than I'd like to be in getting this posted to various places. I have been juggling a lot today and it hasn't been going well in getting everything done that was intended for the day.
The narrator of "Selkies' Skins: Castle and Well" and "Pearls of Sea and Stone: Book of Seals" is having medical problems and very greatly needs some help. He is a very good friend and I consider him in the manner of another father figure. Illya Leonov, AKA Morgan Freepony is a man that tries to do things on his own and then take care of everyone else. So for him to even START a Gofundme tells me he is having more problems with it than he was willing to admit. He could use some help. If you can toss some help toward his medical bills that is positively fabulous and please do. If you can't afford to please share the heck out of his Gofundme to help it circulate and hopefully find people that can. He's done so much for us as a storyteller narrating things for our enjoyment.
As of right now a glance at his page shows that the deductible itself has been raised but the end goal is $5,000 that he will need help with.
