From A to Z in the InCryptid Alphabet: A.

A is for ALICE.

Alice Enid Price-Healy is the daughter of Jonathan Healy and Frances Brown, also known as the Flower of Arizona and the star of the Campbell Family Circus. Alice was born in Buckley Township, Michigan, and grew up in the house her grandparents bought when they first came to America. She went to college in Ann Arbor and got her degree in Library Science before returning to Buckley and marrying Thomas Price, late of the Covenant of St. George. Together, they had two children, Kevin and Jane, who went on to have five children of their own.

Alice shot her first swamp hag when she was twelve years old. She hasn't stopped shooting since.

Alice always knew she wouldn't have a normal life. It was never something she aspired to. But she'd hoped for something more than what she got, the complications, the confusion, the endless barriers between her and the man she loved...and finally, the loss of the family she had longed for because she knew she had to save him. It's been more than thirty years since the night that Thomas disappeared, sucked into a tear in the walls between the worlds. She's still out there, trying to find him, trying to bring him home. Her kids and grandkids think she's crazy, and maybe they're right, but Alice doesn't care.

Alice is down the rabbit hole, and she's not coming back until she finds her husband.

This made me cry.
Aww.
C IS FOR COUNTDOWN.
YES IT IS.
It's going to be a fun month, I can tell. :)

If you ever need or want info on Ann Arbor, I've been living here since '73.
Awesome!
Hurray! Countdown!

I feel very bad for Alice, now, having listened to Dear Thomas on repeat for a while. She can't catch a break with him. I hope she does find him.
So does she!
Have I mentioned recently that I freaking love you?
Yay. :)
Shame on you for being such a fine writer and making us yearn for more!
Yes. Shame.
I am immediately in love with Alice. Go, go, Alice, and don't let anything stop you.
Yay!

This? Just made my crappy month a helluva lot better, and it gives me something to look forward to between now and March 6th. Thank you!
Yay!
Squeee! And suddenly, the next 25 days are looking a lot better ;)
Awesome.
Guess who is reading this WITHOUT getting a migraine?

Thar's right, its me. The Oracle of the Great Pumpkin had lens replacement surgery Jan 30th. (I get my other eye done May 5th. )

Can't wait to read the new book! HUGS
Oh, yay! That's fantastic!
Ahhh the lovely feisty Alice. I'm going to enjoy this countdown immensely.
I'm glad.
Just what I needed, MOAR impatience for March 6th to turn up.
Sigh.
Hee hee hee.
Best ABC Series EVER.

M is for why isn't it March 6th yet?? Wait. No.
Oh no, definitely not. I need those days.
I know so few other Alices. There can be only so many of us in one place, lest the concentrated weird warps reality.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting one in print who can take care of herself.
This one definitely can.
I think the biggest difference between me and your fictional Alice is that her husband is worth saving. :/
Yes, he is.

I'm sorry yours wasn't. :(
