HOME IMPROVEMENT: UNDEAD EDITION available now.

This is a week full of things! For example, it's full of Home Improvement: Undead Edition, edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni Kelner. And Home Improvement: Undead Edition is, in turn, full of things. Specifically, it's full of awesome urban fantasy and paranormal romance stories...

...including a brand new October Daye adventure.

That got your attention, didn't it?

"Through This House" is set chronologically between Late Eclipses and One Salt Sea. It is specifically NOT required reading (something I didn't think would be fair in a side story), but it provides a bridge between the two books, and lets you have a sneak peek at Goldengreen as it was when Toby and the gang first came to claim it. See Toby be cranky, May be damp, Quentin be awesome, and Danny be large! Enjoy happy Barghest fun times! And best of all, get a little more Toby for your troubles.

Home Improvement: Undead Edition is available now. I could not be prouder to be a part of this book, you guys. Seriously, being asked was just...was like...it was just absolutely a dream come true, and I remain stunned and happy and just totally amazed that I got to be a part of it.

Things!

Me neither. Charlaine Harris did that between books, and if I hadn't been reading the books back to back to back, I would've SWORN I'd missed a book. When I found out it was a short story, I was ticked. I lost a LOT of steam for that series then...

Is that why I felt like I was missing stuff! I never even thought to look for side stories.

Now, I will do "back fill" shorts, that fill in holes, but they'll never be totally essential. That's unfair.

Any word on collecting all of your shorts for a book? :) I'd love that!

Not yet, but I really hope someday. I want to call my first collection either Dying With Her Cheer Pants On or The Tolling of Pavlov's Bells.
