4. Well, naturally, Deadline. The second book in the Newsflesh trilogy is coming out at the end of May, and it's exciting and terrifying and Feed was so well-reviewed that I'm considering disabling my Google spiders and hiding under my bed for a week when this one comes out, just to escape the inevitable comparisons. I think it's a good book. I even think it's maybe a better book. But it's not a sequel in the "do the same, only bigger" sense, and that makes me twitchy.
3. "Through This House" is my first novella set in Toby's world. More, it's my first novella appearing in a Charlaine Harris/Toni Kelner anthology, which still has me a little WAIT WHAT NO WHO IS DRIVING? BEAR IS DRIVING!! HOW CAN THIS BE?!? about the whole thing. I love the story, which bridges the span between Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea, but isn't necessary to enjoy either. And I love that I was somehow lucky enough to be allowed to write it.
2. Book Expo America! This is one of the biggest literary trade shows in the world. It's like, the Emerald City of giant book expos. I've never been before. And this year, I get to go. Lemme hear a "woo" from the crowd! Hell, I'll do it myself. WOO!
1. One Salt Sea. It comes out in September; I'm in final editorial revisions now; it's the book where, well, once again, everything changes. It's also the book I sometimes thought I would never finish, because it required admitting to myself that the series would make it five books, and I never quite believed that. But I did, and it did, and soon, you'll get to read it, and I'm so excited.
And that's four exciting things in the year ahead.

Anyway, Late Eclipses arrived in my mailbox yesterday. I'm actually debating on reading it now versus reading it on March 1st. I have to say... that COVER. Holy crap, that is a gorgeous piece of art.
Also, the more I stare at Toby's face, the more I see my cousins. On both sides (Sicilian and Romanian/Hungarian). It's kind of weird and neat.

Also, I hate you a little. I am very sleepy today because Late Eclipses came in the mail yesterday, and I stayed up until 4 am reading, and I am currently working and telling myself that I cannot go upstairs and finish the last 100 pages or so until I am done.
BUT I WANT TO.

I thank you for your hate. :)

and was told that the REASON it's "available" on the website is because the SOONEST it could be delivered is Tuesday. this is a thing i hadn't noticed before, where books will become available on weekends, because they only ship UPS and it's literally impossible for a book to be ordered on the weekend and arrive before tuesday. because MONDAY is the "first business day" and all :)
so, at least here in Columbus, Ohio, there are no copies on the shelves early.
