The move, its associated complications, and my own unavoidable commitments continue to conspire to keep me hopping, hence my current scarceness: I promise I'm not dead, and am still reasonably active on Twitter, even if I'm not managing to keep up with my blog. I'm really hoping that will change soon. I'm sliding toward normalcy one day at a time, I swear. Please let me swearing to something true.
Ahem. But! The disclaimer is not the reason I finally managed to break my silence. No, it's this: the first-ever Quentin-narrated story has been released today! "Full of Briars" is available now from an e-book retailer near you. (US-only at this time. I'm really sorry about that. I don't control the foreign rights, and unlike a story I've released myself, for free, this one I got paid for, and that means the publisher calls the shots.) I am super excited about it, both because a) this fills in a gap that's always bothered me, between Chimes at Midnight and The Winter Long, and b) this is the first time DAW has directly commissioned an e-original from me. IMAGINE HOW MUCH TOBY I COULD WRITE IF THIS IS SUCCESSFUL. The mind boggles, the fingers weep, and the heart rejoices.
A steal at only two dollars, please consider picking up "Full of Briars," if you haven't already, and find out what happened when we weren't looking.
This will serve as your discussion post: please be aware that there will almost certainly be spoilers in the comments.
Whee!

It's a pity the Luidaeg didn't drop by. DID Quentin mention her to his parents?
August 3 2016, 05:01:59 UTC 10 months ago
Personally, I hope they meet her later, at some very dramatic and difficult moment.

I loved every word of this gem, right down to the wonderfully sweet moment with Dean at the end. This was perfection, and I can't thank you enough for giving it to us.

I loved everything about this, but especially everything about Raj, including the acknowledgment of the Quentin/Raj chemistry even as Quentin says that, no, it won't happen, they have commitments that make it impossible. (I am, of course, pretty intensely shipping it regardless, but I do love it when an author manages to make it clear why something won't be canon without suggesting that people shipping it are being absurd for seeing chemistry there... so thank you.)
Quentin/Dean is pretty cute, I'm enjoying that, and Quentin's parents were interesting, though I'm not entirely sure how I feel about his father (his mom is delightful though- I'd love to see more of her at some point, she's cool). I'm now super curious about Penthea, too, she seems like she's probably pretty interesting herself...
My favorite bit, though, was Raj draping himself over Quentin as though he really could keep him from leaving by sitting on him. Classic cat move, absolutely delightful.
...now I need to go reread it about four more times, at least.

I do want to know more about Quentin's mother and her face, though. Just so you know. Need to know more. Tantalizing bits of info....

Oh Raj. Classic cat. :D
It's nice to see from Quentin's perspective just WHY he keeps following Toby into Peril Dire.
