Twenty-five days to MIDNIGHT BLUE-LIGHT SPECIAL.

There are twenty-five days remaining before the release of Midnight Blue-Light Special, the second book in the InCryptid series. I am...I'm still not quite sure that I believe it, honestly. This is such a difficult series to explain to people, because it's so silly and so serious at the same time, and I'm still a little bit in awe of the fact that I'm allowed to write it.

Thank you, thank you, to everyone who's taken a chance on this series. Thank you for looking at my pink, pink cover and my silly, silly cover blurb, and going "Sure, this is worth my time and/or dollars." Thank you for reading and reviewing and spreading the word. I honestly couldn't be here without you.

Thank you also to my agent, and to everyone at DAW Books, because let's face it, I can be a little odd sometimes, and when an author who's doing pretty well with a dark urban fantasy series says "I wanna write something with talking mice," you'd be forgiven for being a little, well, hesitant. But they didn't hesitate. They said "Seanan has done good things with strange concepts before, and they let me have my weird little world full of cryptids and blood feuds and secrets.

There are not enough thanks in the world for what I'm feeling right now.

Thank you all.

How would you prefer we buy it? Which method benefits you most- buying from Amazon, preordering from Amazon, buying from a local bookseller? Also, will you be doing signed books for Borderlands Books again? I know you were for Christmas orders (my brother loved his signed copy of InCryptid #1) Really excited to read it - might buy a paper and a Kindle copy.

Oooh, good question!

I'm moving to Davis this fall for my doctorate, so I'm looking forward to being able to buy stuff from Borderlands in person, rather than over their (very nice) mail order service.

Borderlands is a wonderful place to buy things in person. Or to visit in general.

So I've heard! I can't wait to get a free weekend and visit it sometime. I've missed living near a proper city. IA is nice, but even Des Moines is small to someone who grew up in Miami. And I love supporting independent bookstores. Borderlands has always been really nice when I order a bunch of books from them for Christmas presents, so it'll be nice to visit it in-person.

Even though it's obviously cheaper to buy new books from Amazon most of the time, I make it a point to buy from Borderlands when I can because they deserve my support for all they do.

As a current Davis resident and someone who turns up to Seanan's release parties at Borderlands, I highly recommend driving to Martinez and taking BART in to SF from there, as Borderlands is an easy walk from two BART stations, while parking in SF is a pain. Also, if you'd like help getting to know some of the local geek community, my wife & I would be happy to introduce you around when you get in to town - if you're interested, drop me a line at brian@andcheese.org

All methods of purchase are 100% equal and it doesn't matter to me!

I'm definitely doing a signing at Borderlands. I just don't know when yet, and will post as soon as I know for sure.

Bought it! Thank you so much!
