Love is a vicious, pointy, many-splendored thing.

We have successfully weathered both the release of The Winter Long and the start of a new year, complete with my birthday, which means that you deserve a treat. And here it is:

A brand-new story about Tybalt, Toby, and their first real date. "No Sooner Met," has been posted on the Toby Daye short fiction page. It is available in ePub, MOBI, and PDF formats, and is free for download. Please download rather than trying to read locally; my server will thank you.

This story is best read after Ashes of Honor if possible, since it is set very shortly after that book, and contains unavoidable spoilers for the series up to that point. It is a story about falling in love, and cats, and how to get a really good steak in San Francisco. It is narrated by Tybalt, because he's the romantic in this relationship.

Cover graphics are by Tara O'Shea. All short story electronic conversion thus far has been done by scifantasy. As both of them are awesome, we applaud them now.

Go forth, read, and please feel free to use this as a discussion post, which means there may be spoilers in the comments. Tread carefully.

Enjoy.

This might be only my problem, in which case I apologize for airing it here, but when I try to download this story in mobi, instead of a download I get a page full of unintelligible stuff. This is the second time this has happened, which confuses me because I've never had this problem before in downloading stories from your page.

Is it just me?

Did you try right-clicking and choosing to download? Sounds like your browser thinks it can open mobi files and tries to do it that way. I did not experience this problem, so it's probably just you.

You need to right click and choose "download," not just click the link directly.

Unfortunately "download" is not one of the options available to me on right-click, either in IE or Chrome.

Oh well. I'm sorry to miss the story, but as I said, it's my problem.

In Chrome it's phrased "Save link as".
