When will you Rise? COUNTDOWN coming from Subterranean Press!

Hey. Remember when I wrote a novella leading up to the release of Deadline, and we called it "Countdown," and everybody had a good time watching the end of the world? Yeah, that was fun. In fact, that was so fun that Orbit wound up purchasing the novella for the Orbit Short Fiction Program, which gave me the luxury of revising and expanding on the original text (since I couldn't really afford the time when I wasn't getting paid for it). Good times.

Well. The times are getting better. Subterranean Press, the publishers of amazing limited-edition, illustrated works of speculative fiction, have acquired the rights to "Countdown," and will be publishing a special hardcover edition of the novella. These books will be limited to a signed and numbered print run of 1,000, and will include both "Countdown" and "Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box" (also previously published by the Orbit Short Fiction Program).

I am so excited. I don't know yet exactly when the books will be available, although believe me, I'll be announcing it as soon as I have any information. They should sell for about $35 USD, and are likely to sell out, if past books from this publisher are anything to measure by. Subterranean does small, beautiful, collector's-quality books, and having an edition from them is something I have dreamed of for years.

Life is good.

I mean, I totally downloaded all sorts of Kindle shit to get the ebook (which, uh, I never did), BUT I prefer real books, so I will be on this shit like a zombie on brains.

Even though I've got e-copies, I'll probably try to nab this!

Oh, I hope so. I want them to go "oh, she's a good horse," and let me publish my long-form InCryptid novellas through them. (Not that I plot these things years in advance, oh, no...)

Weirdly enough, last night I dreamed about the last Toby book coming out. And there was some bizarre interplay within the story that involved you as author/character having your notes threatened, which threatened the book even happening. It left me thinking (in the dream), "It's like Stephen King & the dark tower... but way better."
