Let me tell you about Rose Marshall...

Let me tell you about Rose Marshall,
The sweetest girl that you’d ever see.
They always say that the good die young,
Well, she died back in fifty-three,
Kept her prom night date with the cemetery...

They call her the spirit of Sparrow Hill Road. She's the girl at the diner, the phantom prom date, and the girl in the green silk gown. She's long gone, ashes and bones, and she'll never find the ride that brings her home.

Her name is Rose.

She's got a few stories she's been dying to tell.

I am delighted and a little bit blown away to be able to announce that Sparrow Hill Road, the book, will be coming from DAW Books in 2014. This full-length work will include heavily revised versions of eleven of the original "Sparrow Hill Road" stories, along with two all new stories, and a Price Family Field Guide to the Dead of the North American Ghostroads. (The story that was cut, "Bad Moon Rising," didn't add to the main plot of the book, and may appear in revised format elsewhere somewhere down the line.)

I seriously couldn't be happier about this, you guys. I'm just...Rose Marshall, the girl who thought she'd never get out of Buckley, is coming soon to a bookstore near you.

It's so cool.

HAIL! Hail the High Priestess of Sparrow Road! This is SO exciting-and I assume you'll post or tweet something when pre-orders are possible?
And there was MUCH rejoicing!

Fabulous news! Like several others have commented, I've wished for a collected book version of the Rose Marshall stories, so this makes me happy for you _and_ happy for me! :-)

I was just thrilled to have the opportunity to make them so much better.

Party at the Last Dance Diner!

(Not that any of us will be at that party {I hope}, but I am sure they are celebrating the news in style there)

Maybe someday we will be, but not for quite some time.
