seanan_mcguireApril: Short story, "Riddles," in the anthology Human Tales from Dark Quest Books. This is a fairly small press, so you may need to buy the book online or ask your local bookstore to special-order a copy if you want one.
Short story, "Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box," through the Orbit electronic fiction program. This story is being released on April 18th, as a Kindle download. It's a Mira Grant story, but is not set in the Newsflesh universe.
May: Novel, Deadline, from Orbit/Orbit UK, under the name Mira Grant. This is the second book in the Newsflesh trilogy. I do not have ARCs. Please do not ask me for ARCs. Deadline is e-ARC only, and I do not have download codes or physical copies. All asking does is add stress to an already stressful time, and then I have to go hide under the bed for a little while.
September: Novel, One Salt Sea, from DAW. This is the fifth of the October Daye books, and was preceded by Late Eclipses. It will be followed by Ashes of Honor, probably in September 2012.
March 2012: Novel, Discount Armageddon, from DAW. This is the first of the InCryptid books, and will be followed by Midnight Blue-Light Special, probably in March 2013. Yes, InCryptid is taking the March slot in my year. Yes, I consider this a good thing. Doing two Toby books a year is fun, but I need to diversify sometimes.
That's the schedule!

Yay, another Seanan book at the end of May! I can't wait to see how Shaun interacts more with Georgia in his head.

I will miss the double-Toby fix each year, but I look forward to meeting Verity.

Date: 2011-03-07 05:24 pm (UTC)I received two copies of Feed for my birthday and one has started wending it's way as a copy to get people interested in you. One friend who I have given your Toby books to and who enjoyed them enough to read all four so far said about feed "It is a superb book", he commented on the hardness of the science and that while you might appear to be fluffy with cuddly dragons et al that you really wanted to be Greg Egan. Which I think was meant to be a complement.

Date: 2011-03-07 05:33 pm (UTC)(Seriously, I am in the 'buy all the books so Seanan can feed her cats', so I'd be excited if you could keep 3 books coming out a year. OTOH, I understand that that is an impressive feat of literature, so would rather 'less books and author who still loves her work' than 'deadlines have made Seanan unleash the zombie and/or plague and/or dinosaur apocalypse: sorry for the inconvenience'.)

Date: 2011-03-07 05:49 pm (UTC)I was just discussing your releases last night with my recently-converted housemate, who's just started to follow your blog posts, and she fretted for a bit about author burnout. She wants to keep reading your books for a LONG time. I assured her as best as I could that you show no signs of slowing down, and I told her to read your monthly current-project posts for proof that we have nothing to worry about.

Thank You for sharing what You do with us out here.
I finally got the last of the Wicked Girls posters that I bought framed last week, and gifted this past weekend. There was much Squee, and two more people will be buying everything you've ever done as fast as they can, I think. :)

Date: 2011-03-07 06:23 pm (UTC)Fascinated and a bit saddened, Luddite that I am, that there are no physical ARCs of Deadline. I wonder how this sea change is affecting critics, as well as writers.

Date: 2011-03-07 06:43 pm (UTC)Is Deadline coming out as a Kindle book? I ask, because I'm travelling, and cannot buy books made of paper.

Hooraaaayyyyy, books!

Date: 2011-03-08 12:58 am (UTC)So I've got all four Toby books as paper and ebook and the first three as audio. Deadline is preordered as paper and on my wishlist as ebook.

Date: 2011-03-08 01:01 pm (UTC)While two Toby books a year is fun, I am pleased as punch that if the March slot has to be taken, it's being taken with CRYPTOZOOLOGY AND DANCE!
...And anyway, tonally I think September is a better time of year for Toby, it being nearly October and all.
