Please note the lovely new icon. What does the lovely new icon mean? The lovely new icon means there's a lovely new book in the neighborhood, kicking ass and taking names. And doing it in high heels roughly half the time, mind you. Meet Verity 'Very' Price, the eldest girl in the current generation of a family of cryptozoologists working to protect the cryptids of North America from mankind -- and mankind from them.

Discount Armageddon is the first of two books to feature Verity. The second is Midnight Blue-Light Special, but that is, thankfully, some distance in the future. Anyway, a thousand words is a drop in the bucket, but it's a drop that gives me something to work from, and more, it's letting me test my footing in this new universe. The only people on-screen so far are Very and the mice, and that's more than enough for the moment. Besides, the mice can take up a lot of screen.

Verity Price. Kicking cryptid ass with ballroom dance so you don't have to.

Price of Mice

Yay new book and new book series!

And maybe someday an illustrated children's book starring The Mice.

That would be scary. And awesome. And scary.

Oh, yes. Mice.

Pantheistic demon mice. Breaking things in the kitchen.

When I hear of mice written by Seanan, of course the first mice I think of are Healy mice (aeslinn?). Are these relatives?

seanan_mcguire

August 23 2008, 03:07:51 UTC 8 years ago

Aeslin mice. And oh, you could definitely say that...

You have no idea how happy every mention of this book makes me. This is MY BOOK. It is the book you are writing just to make me happy.

(hey, it's my delusion, it can be as grandiose as I like).

Fly free in your delusion, little snowflake, fly free. And knowing that you exist makes this book easier to write.

Ooooh, sounds great. I love the title and the character's name rocks, too. Good luck with the writing, though it sounds like you don't need it. ;)

Have a great weekend!

You, too! And it's going to be a serious blast. Verity makes me happy.

Thank you!

The mice, they have a book all their own! Muhahaha. Poor Very. ;)

seanan_mcguire

August 23 2008, 15:01:07 UTC 8 years ago

The mice, they have a part in Verity's book, not a book of their own. I would go mad.

You know I wouldn't wish that on you. People feel very strongly about the mice, and the amount of fan/hate mail would fill your house.
