The Chronicles of October Daye.

I keep saying that the dead of winter is when we need to be reminded that we're allowed to have nice things, since that's when nice things often seem to be the furthest from our grasp. And so it is with awe and delight that I announce that the next two October Daye novels have been acquired by DAW Books. These urban fantasy/mysteries continue the adventures of October Daye, under-caffeinated changeling detective, and will be coming soon to a world near you. They are:

Ashes of Honor
The Chimes at Midnight

...that's books six and seven, respectively. I am grateful and staggered and overjoyed and a little dizzy over the idea of being able to bring more of Toby's adventures to the world. I'm going to be working with the same team at DAW, which is awesome, and I'm really looking forward to wading into these books and taking the steps necessary to make then wonderful.

The world gets more Toby!

Happy holidays!

Whoo! That is like Impressive! How many authors get to do their first published series that long these days, and from a major publisher? (J.K. Rowling is the only one I can think of, and if you get her level of success I can only cheer...)
Jim Butcher, maybe? But, then again, he's another successful guy.

Yay you! Yay DAW! Yay Toby! May sales continue to rise.
Here's hoping.
Huzzah! Congratulations; I'm so happy for you! You planned for eight books, right? So there's a good chance that DAW will pick up the final book.
I planned for...um. Several.

Hopefully, eight is NOT the end.

Me, too.
I'm so pleased for you, the kitties, and for us. :)

Are you able to reduce the day job hours for writing, now? I know that Alice and Thomas probably want Mom to be immobile for large quantities of time.
My cat wants me to immobile under a blanket. Or at least my right leg. She's claimed that.

I've been working my way through one of the Daye books. They are intense and traumatizing and addicting and messing with my head. Like Thursay Next or Walking Dead or the Marvel Zombies series.

I really hope I can find more.

I like how stuff other authors would turn into entire books just shows up as part of an intense life.

P.S. I always knew cats were a little bit supernatural.
Awesome, thank you so much.
