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!

I think it is totally awesome that DAW has committed so far in advance! It's great that they recognize YOUR talent and dedication to the story. I bet they are just patting themselves on the back that they found themselves an award-winning author who can consistently deliver! And it's great that you get the same team, because they "get" you, and they can keep supporting.

I'm looking forward to having a sizable chunk of "McGuire" and "Mira" lining my bookshelves. (And by alphabetizing them that way, I get to have you "next" to yourself, and still be OCD.)

You know, that is the most sensible shelving decision ever. I love you so.

Woo-hoo!

Obviously, great news like this calls for someone to throw a party in your honor, with lots of great musicians, and maybe a nice banquet with dancing and a jazz band. Maybe somewhere down South where they have that great Southern hospitality. What do you think? Sound like a plan?

seanan_mcguire

December 16 2010, 18:05:41 UTC 6 years ago

Sounds good!

And the people rejoiced.

Yaaaaaay!

Congratulations on the sale of books 6 & 7! May they purchase the rest of the series!

seanan_mcguire

December 20 2010, 21:07:20 UTC 6 years ago

May everyone else purchase 6 & 7, so that they will!

WOOHOO!!!

(Curiously, I had looked at the website last weekend, and from the way things were written there I assumed the books had already been bought, if only right at the end of November.)

I was under the impression that book seven was going under the title "The Brightest Fell." Did you find a more suitable title or was that meant to be the title of book eight, and I just remembered incorrectly?

seanan_mcguire

December 20 2010, 21:06:27 UTC 6 years ago

I found a more suitable title. They do tend to shift around a bit, until they're settled. Book eight is The Winter Long.
