A brief note on full disclosure.

So there's been a spate recently of people going "What's the status on _________?" or "Where can I buy _________?" This is usually referring to either the InCryptid books or the Lycanthropy books, although I've also had a somewhat surprising number of inquiries about print editions of "Velveteen vs." and Sparrow Hill (hint: even if I'm able to arrange for a print edition of Sparrow Hill, it won't be until well after the virtual edition has finished, since TEoP gets first crack at the series). Here, then, is my across-the-board answer:

If I am able to give the status on a project (sold, in print, not yet shopping, not yet finished), I will. I am not in any way shy about going "OH MY GOD YOU GUYS GUESS WHAT?!" I will probably give you this status whether you want it or not, whether you care about it or not, and whether you ask me or not. And just to live up to this statement, my confirmed publications for 2011, so far, are...

"Gimme a 'Z'!," short story, in the collection Zombiesque, February.
Late Eclipses, novel, March. Toby Daye book four.
"Alchemy of Alcohol," short story, in the collection After Hours: Tales From the Ur-Bar, March.
"The Girls Next Door," essay, in the essay collection Whedonistas, March.
Deadline, novel (as Mira Grant), May. Newsflesh book two.
One Salt Sea, novel, September. Toby Daye book five.

The third Newsflesh book, Blackout, will be published in 2012.

I have a few other short stories slated for publication, but don't have release dates and/or permission to announce them yet. See, once something is sold, I am unable to tell people until I am given permission from the publisher—it's part of the standard contract. So if I'm not telling you where you can buy something, it's because there's a "can't" involved. Either you can't buy it, or I can't tell you. Either way, please, please believe me when I say that anything I am allowed to share, I share as quickly as I can, to keep my own head from exploding.

And stuff.

I shall do, good sir. And you can talk to them for me, by contacting publishers and telling them they ought to import my books. ;)

Will do! Oddly enough, 'Local Habitation' and 'Rosemary & Rue' *were* available in late 2009 / early '10 for a short while, but the local distributor - Penguin - dropped them. I'm already making enquiries re. who to have whacked for this, and sourcing horse-heads with which to encourage Penguin to run with the series again. :)
