Step out your front door like a ghost...twenty-five days to ONE SALT SEA.

Twenty-five days. That's how long we have between here and One Salt Sea. A dollar for each of those days would buy me a bucket of chicken from KFC, or two new paperbacks (with tax), or two tickets to a matinee, if someone else bought the popcorn. An hour for each of those days would give me time to take a nice long nap.

Twenty-five days.

I'm still amazed that this book is something real, that it's about to be something people can buy and have for their very own. I'm still sort of going "but but but the first one just came out, how can we already be on book five?" I'm writing book six. I'm dreaming book eight. And I'm scared as hell of the fact that book five is about to be on shelves.

I think milestones are always big and hard and scary. But this one is just weird. I am amazed and aghast and a little bit afraid of what comes next.

For Late Eclipses, I provided lists of facts and answered questions to ease people toward for release. What should I do this time? Suggestions welcome.

ETA: Guys, I can't, and won't, do drabbles. Not only are they very brain-intensive (and wouldn't you rather have book six?), but the effort of keeping them from being full of spoilers would explode my head. I've tried to indicate nicely that this isn't an option, and now I'm just saying it.

YAYS! And I think you need a virtual hug because of how amazing you are. so *hug*

As for ideas, um.. I like the drabble idea (just in general drabbles about any of the characters... not particularly that they are gone forever) But honestly, I'd be happy with anything (or even nothing as long as I can get a my own copy of One Salt Sea.) Anything else that you decide to provide would just be, as the saying goes, icing on the cake. ^_^

On a side note, Tybalt LOLcats would be hilarious and if someone does make them, be sure to post a link, yes?

No drabbles. I just can't do it without spoilers. :( I'm sorry.
