I am very pleased to remind you all that today is the release of the audio edition of Metatropolis: Green Space, a shared-world collection featuring Jay Lake, Elizabeth Bear, Karl Schroeder, Tobias S. Buckell, Mary Robinette Kowal, Ken Scholes, and me. My story, "Midway Relics and Dying Breeds," features a carnival, a choice, and a genetically engineered Indricothere, which Megan and I call "terror beasts" and covet above all else.

You can find details, prices, and ordering information here. Again, this is audio-only; there is no print or ebook edition at this time.

In other exciting news, Sparrow Hill Road is now available for pre-order, which means there should be a cover coming into the world pretty darn soon. In the meantime, the ISBN can be used to order from your local bookstore, if you have one, or from Borderlands, which will have signed copies, or you can use the link above and order for Amazon.

More Rosie Marshall for everybody!

Every month I make a post to tell folks what I'm working on, a) because it seems polite, b) because it keeps me accountable, if only to myself, and c) so you will understand why I do not have a social life. This is the October 2013 current projects post. These posts differ from the Inchworm Girl posts in that they elaborate on what I am currently doing, but do not list publication dates or appearances.

To quote myself, being too harried to say something new: "These posts are labeled with the month and year, in case somebody eventually gets the bizarre urge to timeline my work cycles (it'll probably be me). Behold the proof that I don't actually sleep; I just whimper and keep writing."

Please note that all books currently in print are off the list, as are those that have been turned in but not yet printed (Parasite, Half-Off Ragnarok). The Winter Long and Symbiont are off the list because it's finished and in revisions with the Machete Squad. The cut-tag is here to stay, because no matter what I do, it seems like this list just keeps on getting longer. But that's okay, because at least it means I'm never actively bored. I have horror movies and terrible things from the swamp to keep me company.

Not everything on this list has been sold. I will not discuss the sale status of anything which has not been publicly announced. If you can't remember whether I've announced something, check the relevant tag, or go to my website, at www.seananmcguire.com. Please do not ask why project X is no longer on the list. I will not answer you.

I am opening two Parasite giveaways this week, for the last two precious ARCs in my possession! This is the second, and it's a short one, because I want to send out the ARC on Thursday before I leave for Denver. The rules are a little different this time. Specifically...

This is a giveaway for people who know that they cannot afford the book right now. Times are tight, and sometimes we loose the luxuries, like new books, first. I don't need to know everything about your situation (although feel free to vent if it makes you feel better); everyone is being taken at their word. To enter:

1. Leave a comment on this entry.
2. This giveaway is US-only: the cost of mailing the book Internationally is more than the cost of the book, which cancels out the "can't afford" aspect of things. I'm sorry.
3. That's all.

A winner will be chosen tomorrow afternoon at 6pm PST. Time is short! Sound off now!
