InCryptid: It's a family affair.

It is with extreme pleasure and with no small degree of squeaky joy that I announce that the first two InCryptid books have been acquired by DAW Books. These urban fantasy adventures focus on the Price family of cryptozoologists as they seek to protect the cryptids of the world from humanity...and humanity from the cryptids of the world. The first two volumes are:

Discount Armageddon
Midnight Blue-Light Special

Cryptids and cuckoos and field guides, oh my! Words really can't express how insanely happy I am right now. I'm going to be working with the same team at DAW, which means I know I will have great editorial, fantastic in-house support, and a whole lot of sheer bonus fun. I'm so excited that you're all going to get the chance to meet these people. They're some of my favorites. And now, in the words of the Aeslin mice...

CHEESE! AND! CAKE!

I have no real idea what the books are about, but that does not take away the sheer awesome of them getting picked up!

Cheese! And! Cake!

I'll at least read the first chapter.

Are there any plans to put a "Read the first chapter of" bit in the Toby books? Should I even be asking that if I want to keep myself from being thrown to the cryptids?

(cheesecake?) (be quiet, heretic.)

I don't know, but it's likely.

Woo! Congrats!

Um- what are Cryptids?

archangelbeth

November 24 2010, 20:51:00 UTC 6 years ago

(If I Recall Correctly... Cryptids are things like the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, Batboy (well, he's fiction...), and other "there are lots of reports of these physical beings but none are confirmed" creatures. I believe that ghosts and any other non-physical beings are classed as supernaturals, not cryptids, but I could be wrong. Cryptid comes from the same root as "Cryptic" -- basically, hidden and obscure.

If I do not recall correctly, I will be corrected and I will go yay! O:> )

Congratulations!

Are we to infer, then, that DAW is happy with how the Toby Day books have been doing?

So happy for you! And now that I have a Kindle, I'll get to have multi-format McGuire!

seanan_mcguire

You're either simply masochistic (how can ANYONE spend that much time and effort writing, and under more than one name yet?!) or have a severe case of Heinlein's Syndrome - the inability to go more than a few days without writing fiction. In either case, we all are the beneficiaries and thank you profusely.

I honestly think that if she doesn't write down the stories/songs/poetry, her head will just asplode.

OMG OMG OMG TELL TAE OMG OMG WE'RE GETTING INCRYPTID OMG YAAAAAAAY

(update: apparently, the net result of this was Tae making many annoying squealing noises. :D )
