seanan_mcguireIt's time for the June installment of 'Seanan's current projects,' the post where I explain what I'm working on and what its status happens to be! Please note that Rosemary and Rue and A Local Habitation are temporarily off this list, because they're under review at DAW. They'll be reappearing when the editorial process kicks in.
Also, this time we're cut-tagging, because the list has, as is so often the case with me, managed to get longer. My brain, ladies and gentlemen. Nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to live here.

These are likely to come up with a fair amount of frequency, because, well, that's just how this sort of thing tends to work. So here's a list of projects you're probably going to hear about, one way or another, with a reasonable degree of frequency:
An Artificial Night.
October Daye, book three. Urban fantasy/fairy tale noir, modern setting, first-person protagonist. Status: sold, currently about halfway through the rewrite process and giving me a migraine as a special added bonus. But dude, this book is made of pure win.
Newsflesh.
Modern political/zombie horror, near-future setting, first-person protagonist. Rise up while you can. Status: about a quarter of the way through the first-pass rewrite process, and my subject matter experts in biology, medicine, computer tech and explosives are reviewing the manuscript now.
Late Eclipses of the Sun.
October Daye, book four. Urban fantasy/fairy tale noir, modern setting, first-person protagonist. Status: pending rewrites. I'll kick this one off when I finish doing the revisions on book three, because that's just the way I roll.
Lycanthropy and Other Personal Issues.
Coyote Girls, book one. Young adult horror/supernatural romance. Modern setting, first-person protagonist. Status: now writing. This book officially gets the bulk of my 'new text' attention once Toby three is off my plate, at least partially because we're so close to the end that I can taste it.
The Mourning Edition.
Modern political/zombie horror, near-future setting, first-person protagonist. The sequel to Newsflesh, obviously, which, because I'm writing it, has turned into a trilogy. Alive or dead, the truth won't rest. Status: planning to kick this one off as soon as Newsflesh is revised (so before we start shopping it).
Upon A Star.
Young adult comedy/romance. Drama kids are awesome. Modern setting, first-person protagonist. Status: pending rewrites.
There are lots of other books floating around here -- some finished and slated to be worked on further, others pending getting started -- but these are the ones you're likely to hear the most about, at least currently. I'll probably update this list from time to time, as things move from 'project' to 'print', and new things take their places on the workshop floor.
