A treat for Toby fans is coming!

So hey, remember how at the end of Chimes at Midnight, Quentin was all "now you get to meet my parents," and Toby was all "OH FUCK NO," and then we got The Winter Long, but we never got to see the meeting?

We're going to get to see the meeting.

"Full of Briars" is a novelette set between Chimes at Midnight and The Winter Long, narrated by Quentin as he faces that most terrifying moment in a young squire's life: the meeting between his parents and his knight. With bonus "how Quentin sees Tybalt" and "how Quentin and Raj interact when Toby isn't around" (hint: they're glorious shits to one another).

"Full of Briars" will have a price point of $1.99 USD/$2.59 CD, and be released in August 2016, a month before the next October Daye book comes out. The cover art is being done by Tara O'Shea, who does the short story covers for my website. (Right now, it is only available in the US and Canada, because of regional rights issues. I have faith in all y'all's ability to get around that without resorting to illegal downloads. Since wow do I want DAW to let me do more of these.)

Quentin!

Glee.

QUENTIN!

*screams and flails and runs around in circles with glee*
HOORAY! What a birthday present! I am so excited!
Glee.
Yippee!!
Congratulations,

Are there going to be physical copies of either the book or the CD available as it is a lot easier to buy physical things from the wrong reason.
There are currently no plans for either a physical or an audio release of this short story. Hopefully, if it performs well enough, I can eventually convince DAW to do a short story collection to tie into the Toby books. Until then, there will be no physical edition.

YAY :D
I am pleased.
Dear Seanan's UK publisher, please buy the rights...

(assuming that is the issue)

H
That is the issue...for the UK. Everywhere else has the same issue. Basically, right now, only DAW has the right to publish this story, and DAW only publishes in the US and Canada.

I don't expect any interest from my UK publisher until they've caught up with the series (and hence potentially started making money off of it). Right now, the US is still quite a bit ahead.

Yessss this is exciting! I love the idea of rolling around in Quentin's head for a while....
Me, too. :)
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glee.
All the excitements!!!!
So I sent this news to my girlfriend, who has a Thing for Quentin and Raj, and this was her response:

HELLS YES. WANT. NEED.
August? Ugh.
August, because not everything can happen at the same time, I would die.

*gasps in delight*

I currently have a baby asleep on me, otherwise there would be very loud flailing and delight. It is, instead just very quiet delight.

August is such a long way away!
And yet so very close.
OH MY GOD YES

QUENTIN POV. QUENTIN AND RAJ. QUENTINQUENTINQUENTIN<3<3<3<3!

(I feel like this comment needs the futurama 'take my money' gif but I can't seem to find it, so. Just trust that I will fling money at this as soon as I figure out how.)
I have faith.
YAY!!
I am delight.
I actually squealed out loud and waved my hands in the air when I read this! I've so wished I could be a fly on the wall for that meeting! And now we get to see it! I wish we didn't have to wait until August, but we get it! We get it! I'm so excited about this!
I am glad.
Omgoodness yes!!!!
