"We Will Not Be Undersold" has been, well, sold to the anthology The Modern Fae's Guide to Surviving Humanity, edited by Josh Palmatier and and Patricia Bray. The anthology will be coming out in March of 2012, which seems at once very far in the future, and far, far too soon for my taste. It involves a big box super-store, true love, picnic tables, M&Ms, and plastic.
This is most definitely not a Toby universe short story; it contains fae creatures, but they're not playing by the rules of Toby's world, and I bet none of them could take her in a fair fight. At the same time, they're strange and quirky and were a huge amount of fun for me to write, and I really, really enjoyed the process of writing their story. (Story, singular. Unlike Mina Norton or the Fighting Pumpkins, these folks are not turning into a series. Dammit. I absolutely refuse.)
I'll post again as we approach the time when the book will become a sweet reality, rather than a future milestone, but for right now, remember, shop smart. Shop Undermart. We will not be undersold!

Fae and fair rarely walk hand-in-hand. (from: Things I Learned From October Daye)

So it comes out the same month as the first InCryptid? You're going to be busy that month. Not that you're not busy evey month.

March is my go-crazy-time month, it seems.
Gratz!

Here, let me have a word with them: Gentle (and not-so-gentle) beings, please go to the end of the queue. Our hostess may or may not get to you before the universe ends. If you're not willing to wait, go find someone else to talk to; there's a whole world of writers out there waiting to be inspired.

I am doing my happy dance for you.

Also, being a new-comer to your LJ, I'm not sure if you are a book-swapping (or simply free-book-acquiring) kind of a person. In case you are - http://reedrover.livejournal.com/122442

I've looked through the list, and I'm good for now, but I really appreciate it.

Also can't wait to be sharing page space with you. :D

I'm not 'llowed to say the rest of the ToC, so I just need to wait for y'all to come out and say it.
