Publication schedule and notes for 2011 (remaining), early 2012.: seanan

Publication schedule and notes for 2011 (remaining), early 2012.

April: Short story, "Riddles," in the anthology Human Tales from Dark Quest Books. This is a fairly small press, so you may need to buy the book online or ask your local bookstore to special-order a copy if you want one.

Short story, "Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box," through the Orbit electronic fiction program. This story is being released on April 18th, as a Kindle download. It's a Mira Grant story, but is not set in the Newsflesh universe.

May: Novel, Deadline, from Orbit/Orbit UK, under the name Mira Grant. This is the second book in the Newsflesh trilogy. I do not have ARCs. Please do not ask me for ARCs. Deadline is e-ARC only, and I do not have download codes or physical copies. All asking does is add stress to an already stressful time, and then I have to go hide under the bed for a little while.

September: Novel, One Salt Sea, from DAW. This is the fifth of the October Daye books, and was preceded by Late Eclipses. It will be followed by Ashes of Honor, probably in September 2012.

March 2012: Novel, Discount Armageddon, from DAW. This is the first of the InCryptid books, and will be followed by Midnight Blue-Light Special, probably in March 2013. Yes, InCryptid is taking the March slot in my year. Yes, I consider this a good thing. Doing two Toby books a year is fun, but I need to diversify sometimes.

That's the schedule!

Eeeeee.

I will miss the double-Toby fix each year, but I look forward to meeting Verity.

Well given that I started reading Toby books in January I was kind of expecting another book this month.....

I received two copies of Feed for my birthday and one has started wending it's way as a copy to get people interested in you. One friend who I have given your Toby books to and who enjoyed them enough to read all four so far said about feed "It is a superb book", he commented on the hardness of the science and that while you might appear to be fluffy with cuddly dragons et al that you really wanted to be Greg Egan. Which I think was meant to be a complement.

"...while you might appear to be fluffy with cuddly dragons et al that you really wanted to be Greg Egan."

It's just my opinion, but I think Seanan is capable of being both, although not necessarily at the same time. (I'm not sure I'd want to see what "a fluffy Greg Egan with cuddly dragons" looks like, but I'll think about it.)

I started Feed thinking I was writing horror. When I realized I was actually writing hard science fiction, I gave up the gore and broke out my slide rule.

This comment makes it exponentially more likely I will pick up Feed and the rest of the Newsflesh trilogy sooner rather than later. Horror novels give me weeks upon weeks of nightmares (and not the fun kind). Sci Fi with political machinations on the other hand is one of my favorite ways to get down.

I emphatically Don't Do Horror, like way way WAYYYY don't do horror, and I *LOVED* Feed. And I think Deadline (book 2-- out in May) will become one of my comfort rereads.

Which I know sounds weird. But it's really true. I think it's because for me, it's about heroes.

I love you so.
