This just in: LATE ECLIPSES is awesome!

Publishers Weekly has spoken on the subject of Late Eclipses, and they say:

"In October 'Toby' Daye's fourth outing, following 2010's An Artificial Night, the half-Fae private detective is once again run through the wringer when problems plaguing the San Francisco Fae community strike home on a personal level. First, in an unprecedented, unexpected move, the Queen of the Mists promotes Toby to countess. Given that the Queen hates her, it's quite obviously a trap, but not something Toby can refuse or avoid. Subsequently, several of Toby's closest friends are struck down through poison and illness, and she's accused of murder. Has an enemy from Toby's past resurfaced, or is she losing her mind? Physically, emotionally, and magically drained, faced with tragedy and despair, Toby's forced to deal with the long-hidden truth behind her Fae heritage. In this tightly plotted adventure, McGuire mixes nonstop action with a wealth of mythology to deliver a wholly satisfying story."

They like me! They really like me!

Pardon me while I dance THE DANCE OF JOY.

Pshaw, of course it's awesome. I expect nothing less.

As if there were any doubt.

*doesn't actually read review for fear of spoilers*

(I go into the Toby books not even knowing the basic premise. It's fun!)

Soooo tempted to make up wacky shit at you now.

But I'm being good. See? See me being good? This is me being good. Don't I deserve a cookie?

You clearly deserve it. And now I really can't wait to read it!

I have no control, and no idea. The people to ask would be Brilliance Audio, who actually publish the audiobooks.

I can't wait even more to read it now. Huh? No, I was already looking forward to Late Eclipses, now I'm looking forward to it even more. That better?

seanan_mcguire

February 3 2011, 18:41:15 UTC 6 years ago

Yay!

...sweetie, is there ANY planet where I would actually answer that question?

Of course they like you! Just reading the blurb makes me ache to read the book. Nice!

Oh, like I needed a reason to look forward to reading it MORE.

I am unsurprised they liked it, but elated on your behalf, nonetheless.

seanan_mcguire

February 3 2011, 19:04:43 UTC 6 years ago

Glee. :)

Oh, like I needed to have my anticipation levels on this book pushed any higher. It's very hard to type when I want to chew on my fist, just in case you were wondering.

seanan_mcguire

February 3 2011, 19:57:25 UTC 6 years ago

Heeee!

textileowl

February 3 2011, 19:43:02 UTC 6 years ago

oooh man, I've been excited since reading the excerpt. I just preordered it and Deadline, as well as other books so I'm getting a book a month until July. Only a month to go!

seanan_mcguire

February 3 2011, 19:57:32 UTC 6 years ago

That rocks!

February 3 2011, 19:44:23 UTC 6 years ago

*dancing and singing* Less than a month! Less than a month! Less than a month!

Yes!

Has an enemy from Toby's past resurfaced, or is she losing her mind?

I'm going to go with the first choice, since you can't lose what's already gone. ;)

Congrats on the glowing review. I'm really looking forward to LE.

I can't wait!! Is it March yet? Is it? Is it?
I keep reading the little sneak peek in the back of An Artificial Night and getting all agitated.

seanan_mcguire

February 4 2011, 18:36:36 UTC 6 years ago

It is not.

Be warned: there's a sneak peak for One Salt Sea at the back of Late Eclipses.

You're pretty darned wonderful, and I've enjoyed everything you've written -- so there's no great shock that they like you. Validation is always good, though.

seanan_mcguire

February 4 2011, 18:36:44 UTC 6 years ago

Yes.

Seanan, to quote "Starship Excelsior," there is only one reason why you're getting the reviews you get. To put it simply:

YOU DO THE GOOD WORK!

Keep up the good work.

seanan_mcguire

February 4 2011, 18:36:51 UTC 6 years ago

Trying.

There's no trying

Congrats! This makes me want to read it even more. Why can't it be March already?

seanan_mcguire

February 4 2011, 18:37:21 UTC 6 years ago

Because then I would lose a month of writing time, miss all my deadlines, and cry.
