A LOCAL HABITATION has been turned in!

The second of the Toby Daye books, A Local Habitation, has officially been turned in to DAW. Everybody dance! There's a lot of editing to come on both the books I've turned in -- the in-house editorial process hasn't even started, and you'll all have the opportunity to watch me lose my tiny little mind as things get going -- but the editing and correction that can happen independently on my end is done. My babies are out of my hands.

(It probably says something about my psyche that, after sending A Local Habitation to its reward, I spent an entire train ride poking fiercely at the pacing problems I'm having with the start of An Artificial Night. Someday I'm going to write the last book in this series. The next day, I'll probably start something fifty books long, just so I never have to experience that lack of destination again.)

For right now, I will pretend there's no work left to be done, and that the books are perfectly perfect in every way. Because that allows me to throw my hands in the air and declare a velociraptor dance party to last until dawn.

DINOSAUR DANCE PARTY TIME!

A dinosaur dance party sounds amazingly fun.

Congratulations!

We can totally have brontosaurus burgers and pterodactyl pie.
