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 am looking forward to it!
I really enjoyed the mix of light and dark in the first book.
Did you see that Megan Phelps has left the Westboro Baptist Church? I am bringing it up because I was reminded of your Q&A about the Covenant's blind spot when I read the article about her 'defection'. The same 'there is only one truth', and otherwise intelligent people who are so scarily sure of their truth is the only one out there. All evidence to the contrary is just not seen. Well, ms. Phelps saw that there are multiple ways of looking at the world in a library and the shell cracked. Yay, libraries!

Anyways, I will be buying the new Incryptid book when it comes out. I promise ;-).
I did see that, and it's fascinating.
