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!

I've just binge read my way through all the October Daye stories (which I bought all of, not borrowed, because hello, I want more books) and boy are my eyes tired! I also now understand your comments at Chessie Con about "so much blood."
Random comments:
First of all: so. awesome. Characters, writing, plot, world-building.
Second, why are "truth spells" never an option? Paging Walther for fae sodium pentothal.
Third, as you know Bob, cats need fresh water every day. Running water if they can get it. Please tell me video exists of Tybalt drinking from a drinking fountain? There's a gif waiting to happen.
Hope your new year brings you everything you wish for, and perhaps I will get to see you again at Marcon (haven't been there in decades).
