The . . . Abvent of Scent?

I had this thought that when I was done going through perfume tests, I would offer up my unwanted samples to the general public, free to a good home.

. . . yeah, "done" has proven to be an ever-receding mirage. Not just because friends keep sending me things (thank you, friends!), but because I've now started ordering some random samples myself. At present I have enough to keep me busy through mid-March, and since I know of two people planning to mail me more, we're probably good until some time in April. And by the time I get there, more may have shown up. Rather than waiting until this mythical "end" to the process, I'm just going to post my current list here, and let people start claiming things if they want.

Most of these are little sample vials; some are 5ml bottles. There are too many for me to want to link to their descriptions individually, but if you go to this tag you can search for specific perfumes, or just browse for things that sound good to you and then check back to see if I'm unloading them. (There's a very small pile of "I love this!" and a much larger pile of "I would like to try this again" that are not up for grabs -- not yet, anyway. Once I try that second pile again, I'm sure some of them will go on offer.) People who have sent me samples will get first dibs on anything here.

all the audio that's fit to hear

I've managed to accumulate a small pile of audio news for y'all!

The big one is that at long last, the Onyx Court series is getting an audio treatment, courtesy of Blackstone Audio. Midnight Never Come came out last week; you can pick up that one from Apple or from Audible. The rest of the series will follow in due course!

I've also been doing a pile of audio stuff with Serial Box, starting last year. So far they've put up ten of my short stories and novelettes: "Daughter of Necessity," "Coyotaje," "Love, Cayce," "Once a Goddess," "The Genius Prize," "At the Sign of the Crow and Quill," "Mad Maudlin," "A Mask of Flesh," "What Still Abides," and "Nine Sketches, in Charcoal and Blood." But the big news here is that they're going to do some of my novellas, as well! Deeds of Men was already done as an audiobook some years ago, and I don't hold the rights for The Eternal Knot, but they'll be recording audio versions of Dancing the Warrior and the two Varekai novellas, Cold-Forged Flame and Lightning in the Blood. I'll announce those here once they're done!
