Verity Price, not a subtle rabbit.

It's time for some free fiction, and for checking in on Verity and Dominic as they continue their trip from New York to Oregon, with plenty of stops along the way. They've weathered their meeting with Rose Marshall remarkably well. So where to next?

The Carmichael Hotel, of course.

"Snake in the Glass" takes us back to Chicago, where Dominic is going to continue meeting the family...whether he likes it or not. Let's just hope Verity can keep him from getting himself into too much trouble.

You can download the new story now from the InCryptid short fiction page. There is currently a problem with the cover graphic on the page: it is smaller than the others. I am aware, and am working to get it fixed, but didn't want to make you wait any longer over something so (relatively) trivial. (ETA: Fixed.)

Big thanks to Will, for emergency last-second eBook conversion, and to Tara, for getting me the replacement cover so quickly.

This also serves as your discussion post.

Thank you so much! I thought this would be about Alice and Thomas. I was so pleased to see that it was about Verity and Dominic! And there's DeLuca backstory! And more Kalakos' and we meet Lea! I have to go reread "We Both Go down Together" as I don't think Lea is the sort of Cryptid that they are... Oceanid is not Finfolk type mermaid, (so no tri-stage therioanthropy) but one of the other dozen types- got it.

This was awesome! Thank you for letting us see more of the Carmichael and how openly curious and sharing everyone is in that mixed social setting. It was great to see how much Dominic has been stretching and I love the bit he said about Sarah, and the hint at how much was going on when Verity was 'offstage'. The snippet of a scene was so clear and I hope he was good about his answer to her.


If for some bizarre reason, you need to move afield from the Prices, a Carmichael take on Fawlty Towers or Eloise would also sell, I'm just saying.

Oh, and the cover art on this one is also beautiful. Whoever does these is extraordinarily gifted. Are they different people or the same person?

I believe most of the ones released to the website or in anthologies are by Tara O'Shea. The DAW books are usually Chris McGrath. (If you have a membership to nominate for Hugos you might consider nominating one or both.)
