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!

Nice. Really nice.

Charlene Harris has actually been on my waitlist since late last week. I'm reading Jim Butcher's Odd Jobs, and one of the shorts in it was written for an anthology Charlene was putting together, and Jim said so many nice things about her that I I've got to check her books out.

And I gather having her ask you to be in one of her anthologies means that you've arrived. On centre stage. Wearing your tiara. And sparkly high heels.

Congratulations!

It does. Her anthologies are a very big honor. I'm very excited.
