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.

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.

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
