Announcing a new Toby story! Squee!

So first off, because I couldn't say this earlier, and also, HOLY CATS, here go: I was asked, by Charlaine Harris and Toni Kelner, to submit a story for one of their totally insanely awesome urban fantasy theme collections. You know, the ones like Wolfsbane and Mistletoe and Death's Excellent Vacation. The ones I have sometimes DREAMED about being asked to write for.

THEY ASKED ME TO WRITE THEM A STORY AND I SAID YES AND OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, LOOK:



The story, titled "Through This House," takes place between Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea. It involves Toby, Quentin, May, Danny, and some giant spiders, and while it was intentionally written to be non-essential—you don't have to get the book to understand what's going on in book five—I really like it.

But mostly, right now, I'm just REALLY EXCITED. Like, super-duper grasshopper pie and a magic unicorn pogo stick excited. My first appearance in an actual hardcover! Ohmygawd!

Happy Saturday!

You do realize that one day, I'm going to get a story published in an anthology and I'm going to go, "OMG! My story is in the same book as Seanan McGuire!!!"

It will be like the gift that keeps on giving. :D

I'm really enjoying watching you rise in the ranks of THE names.

I hate hardcovers, although I do understand them, and I am VERY HAPPY for you.

Grasshopper pie? I'll let you eat that.

But yay! Where can I get this book? (Amazon UK doesn't have it although has other books in the series).

(Damn, cnat type, an to drunk...)

You know grasshopper pie is mint chocoate ice cream pie right? ;)

Though knowing Our Lady of Blonde Awesome, you might be right about it being actual grasshoppers...

Bo and Boo are happy for you!

(and me, too!)

In fact, it took me a good couple minutes to decide which icon I should be using to celebrate your first time in Hardcover.

Now, though, I'm going to Goodreads.com to put it on my to buy list!

Based on Amazon, release date is Aug 2 - 2011.. So no need to rush out right now and try to find it (that said, its tagged for a kindle pre-order!)

keristor

November 7 2010, 01:20:44 UTC 6 years ago

Ah, thanks, in that case it probably hasn't worked over to Amazon UK yet, so no need to panic.
