This never gets any less frightening. In fact, right now, it comes with an extra bonus dose of frightening, because this is the last Toby book for a year—my March 2012 release with DAW is going to be the first book in the InCryptid series, Discount Armageddon. So this book has to be amazing enough to keep people from forgetting about me.
It's scary and exhilarating and a little "wait, what?" Because this was always the book I couldn't finish. Book five is where I ran out of steam, because these books were never going to come out, and five finished books was just too much for my heart to take. And now it's about to be on shelves. In seventy-five days.
Remember that I have an ARC giveaway going now, which you can enter through tomorrow afternoon. I'll open my second giveaway next week; it's going to involve photography, since we need to have something slightly less wash-and-wear.
Seventy-five days to high tide.
Wow.

I can't imagine how scary and weird this one has to be, especially with the break for InCryptid, but believe me - we'll remember Toby and we'll make sure everyone we know does, too. :)

We understand the fear but think that one should be low on the worry list! Worry about combination locks on the doors that furry paws can't manage - that seems a much more reasonable concern. : )

True.

A year between installments will give me a chance to reread all of the Toby books that are out so far.

This. This exactly.
The "OMG, people will now know just about as much about Toby as I do, and I can talk to people about the first five books ..." feeling.

Okay, I'll stop fangirling. I wouldn't worry about people forgetting you. I, for one, will be doing my best to get people to read your stuff and I do a lot of flailing when I like books. :)
Also! I love your posts about your kittehs. I have a Maine Coon mix, Mi-Go, and I think she's the most awesome cat ever, and I love everything I hear and see on the Maine Coons. I keep thinking "Hah, that sounds like MY monster!" :D

I'll miss Toby. Strange (and possibly deranged) as it sounds, I could actually relate to her. I love the way you write her internal monologue. There are days I wish you could write mine.
Then I realize I'd be dealing with zombies on the bus instead of random weirdos and think.....um, maybe not.
The book will be brilliant, and all will be well.
