2 things about the series.

Two more days remain in our pre-release countdown, which has been a surprisingly fun and distracting way to pass the time between now and A Local Habitation [Amazon]|[Mysterious Galaxy]. So that's a big "hooray," at least on my part. I like distractions that actually work, rather than ending with me starting a new essay series or something.

2 Things About the October Daye Series.

2. People periodically ask me "well, if you had your way, how long would this series go?" And to them I must say...I don't actually know. See, I know how it ends. I have detailed outlines through book seven, and looser outlines for books eight and nine, as well as a lengthy list of things that happen after that. Also, there's a prequel called Strangers in the Court that's supposed to happen between books six and seven; it's about how Toby got knighted, and it's going to be lots of fun. I always know where I am in relation to the ending, and I can always get there in one volume, but I don't have any sort of firm "it is X books long" statement that I can go bandying around.

1. I really do take a malicious glee in doing horrible things to Toby's car. I mean, people are like "why do you do those things to Toby's car?", and I'm like, "BECAUSE IT'S FUNNY." I also enjoy preventing her from sleeping, taking away her food, and denying her coffee. I am a cruel, cruel author.

Heh. You're probably one of those people who play The Sims and then takes away the swimming pool ladder once they've jumped in.

That'd be me.

I'm terrible at The Sims.

But I do suggest that people give their Sims rocket launchers whenever possible.
