October never ends.

It is with the utmost delight and no small amount of profound relief that I announce that the next three October Daye adventures have been acquired by DAW Books. That takes us all the way to ten, a benchmark I dreamt of but never thought I'd really reach.

The next three books are:

The Winter Long
A Red-Rose Chain
Once Broken Faith

(For the curious, the titles this time are from "A Winter's Tale," "Venus and Adonis," and "King Henry VI, Part iii.")

I am...I am over the moon. This gets us through some really major story beats that I've been patiently setting up since book one, and moves us very solidly into what I think of as "act two" of the whole series (act one concluded with One Salt Sea). There are two more books to come before I start on this new set, Ashes of Honor and Chimes at Midnight, and having the security of knowing the story will go on is just incredible.

Thank you, DAW, for having faith in me.

And thank you all, for reading.

Fantastic! I'm behind on the series (I only read the first two so far) but I was disappointed when I heard rumors that Ashes was going to be the final book. I'm glad to know that they were quite wrong :)

These rumors fascinate me, especially since Ashes of Honor isn't even the last book of the current contract!

Oh my gods, this just made me cry ecstatic tears. I am not kidding when I tell people that my top favorite urban fantasy author is Seanan McGuire. I mean, I pre-ordered Ashes Of Honor a month ago, that's how excited I am.

And I really really really can't wait for the next book in the InCryptid series.

Thank you for being so amazing.

I am super enthused, and if not for being at work, would do the happy dance in my chair right now. Oh, who am I kidding, I'm doing it anyway.

Had DAW been foolish enough to follow any other course of action, we would have been very cross with them.

seanan_mcguire

September 16 2012, 03:30:56 UTC 4 years ago

But crossness does not print my books, so I am glad they went this way.

Woohoo! Great news! It's win win, because you get to write more Toby adventures and we get to read them.

There's more stuff set up in the early books you haven't covered!? Okay, now that I think of it there were one or two vague mentions that I've been waiting to come back. How much longer until September?

seanan_mcguire

September 16 2012, 03:32:57 UTC 4 years ago

Lots more.

It will all come due.
