Mood: ecstatic
Music: Glee, "Here's to Us."

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.

Apologies if this is something I should already know, but how long were you writing before your Toby Daye novels were accepted? I mean, did you do short stories and stuff (I mean getting published, here) before DAW accepted the first one and then did the other stuff later, or was it one of those overnight awesome lucky things where they were "Yay, we love this, you're published!" I'm asking because I'm getting serious about my own writing, and I know the second scenario doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Also, grats!
