And then people said some nice stuff.

So io9 has named Indexing one of their books you can't afford to miss in January. Not too bad for the little serial that could, huh? I love how much support this wacky experiment in being very, very serious about very, very ridiculous things has been able to garner, and while I haven't seen the print edition yet, I have other books from 47North which lead me to believe that it's going to be gorgeous.

(Also, for those of you who have not yet read this particular universe, I note that right now, it's closed: volume one is complete, in and of itself. I left it open for a season two, but there's no commitment involved in buying the book. There is, however, the awesome potential to pay my power bill, which weighs heavy on my mind just now. Once upon a times! Ever afters of all sorts! Magic and bureaucracy! Which I still can't spell! What have you got to lose?)

Meanwhile, over at Ranting Dragon, the editor named Chimes at Midnight AND Midnight Blue-Light Special as two of the best books of 2013. This delights me down to the bottom of my bones. I love both my urban fantasy worlds, and sometimes I worry about favoring one over the other. This tells me that I'm doing it right, and that makes me so happy. So, so happy.

Glee.

Print edition of Indexing is on order, so part of your power bill will be paid! I'm looking forward to reading all of it at once. <3

All well deserved!

And in other fronts, I found a box set of the Newsflesh Trilogy yesterday. I'm new to this series but already liking it a lot1

Glad to see it's getting a dead-tree, all-in-one release. I'll be sure to pimp it where I can - it honestly convinced me to continue to pick up your other stuff (let's just say I was less than happy with A Local Habitation).

I am glad that I have continued to improve.

Magic and bureaucracy! Which I still can't spell!

Lies! Lies and calumnies!

(Okay, so maybe it took a few tries to get it right. You're used to rewriting your work, right?)

Congratulations!!!! So what will you call Indexing right now a novel or a series? It's for science and curiosity. So I can write about it. ^0^

seanan_mcguire

January 19 2014, 18:41:08 UTC 3 years ago

It's a serialized novel. It won't be a series until/unless a second season is commissioned.

Apparently, "Midnight" in the title is a good luck charm.
More books!

Coming.

Looking forward to dead tree Indexing. *lol* Do you know if it'll hit bookstore chains, or must be ordered from Amazon etc?

seanan_mcguire

January 19 2014, 18:41:38 UTC 3 years ago

I do not know, sadly.

Indexing is one of this months Kindle Offer books on Amazon.co.uk, going to have to go with that rather than the dead tree copy until there's a bit more spare cash here.

seanan_mcguire

January 19 2014, 19:38:07 UTC 3 years ago

Totally understandable! I do not dictate the formats people read in, I'm just glad when there are choices, so that everybody can have the one that works for them.

Yay, I forgot that I had the paperback coming and...what is this fresh hell, Amazon, it comes out tomorrow but you don't expect to get it to me until Thursday? You publish the damn thing. Oh, Amazon. Guess I won't be showing it to you tomorrow.

Hopefully mine will get here about the same time.

Also, over on the Ranting Dragon, The Winter Long is listed as one of the Top 30 Most-Anticipated Science Fiction and Fantasy Novels Coming in 2014.

Hi Seanan,
just like to say how much I'm enjoying Indexing.
Very different to the Toby Daye series but I love it.
How long did it take you to write - seems like the type of story that you'd need to have sloshing around in your brain for years working out all the details before you wrote it.

seanan_mcguire

November 13 2014, 00:00:45 UTC 2 years ago

About a week per installment, so three months all told?

I thoroughly enjoyed Indexing, and I truly hope there will be more at some point.

I bought a copy of Indexing for yellowblackhaze for Valentine's Day this week - he was busy reading something else, so I've inhaled it in under a day. He'll read it next, so I can stop with the urges to Spoil All The Things! about it.

I loved it, I thought the whole idea was just brilliant! And I've got fingers crossed for enough interest for another season/series/collection.

(and everyone seems to be saying that Henry & Sloane are their favourites - mine was Jeff.)

Hi! You don't know me, but I've been reading your October Daye and Incryptid novels and loving them, and I am so excited that Indexing is now available in print book form. Can't wait to read it.

I'm so pleased you like my work.
