It's a family affair...

One thing I've tried to make very clear about InCryptid is that it's not the story of Verity Price and how she did lots of neat stuff and maybe saved the world a few times. It's the story of the Price family, and the Healy family, and how they did lots of neat stuff and maybe saved the world a few times. There are lots of stories, many of which happened before the books begin.

Never let it be said that I missed the chance to tell a story.

The InCryptid short fiction page is now live, and features the brand new Jonathan and Frances adventure, "One Hell of a Ride." The story is available for free download in three formats. I'll add information on "The Flower of Arizona" as soon as we have a finalized cover (and will include purchase data for that one, since it's in an anthology).

Welcome to the family tree, and I hope this helps to keep you excited for the upcoming release of Discount Armageddon!

Thank you.

Ver' welcome.

The pdf version of "One Hell of a Ride" has a hiccup: the first 5 paragraphs are duplicated.

Thank you for putting this up!

I have sent a message via the website contact form.

Same with the epub, so it's probably the source. The thing I posted on the web site was a lot more minor. But if your going to re spin it.

I have not received it. Did you send it to the webmaster, instead of to me? Because he can't fix a damn thing in these files. Nor can I, while at work.

Loved it! <3

Thanks.

Sorry, I was only writing to say that it felt like "The idea of reopening it Fran’s sake did not appeal." was missing a word.

I hope the problem with the files doesn't stress you too much. We shall keep them because in the future they will be rare editions of your famous works :)

Ps. The mice as dividers are lovely and while I have only read a bit of the story so far, it is good :)

I think that's one of the things that makes me so excited about incryptid. it's a multi-generational tale, and those make me very happy.

Passed along to the nice gentleman who does my e-pub conversion, thanks.

Didn't Tara do an amazing job with the mice? I love her so.

Me, too.

I will admit that since you first announced it I was feeling kind of bitter that Incryptid was taking away my regular Toby book and Tybalt goodness (grrr)

But that story was pretty awesome. Now I'm glad I pre-ordered Discount A.

And after finishing the story I can upgrade the good to an excellent.

I didn't think it was possible to be _more_ excited about this new series, but that was an amazing little taste! Thank you very much. I'm so glad there's going to be more. Have there been other Incryptid stories elsewhere I can hunt up?

Ok, I just found "Westward Weird" in a previous post. Sorry to ask for information that was right in front of me.

[identity profile] ladymurmur.livejournal.com 2012-02-21 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
ALREADY?? Wow. it seems like just yesterday you were asking about conversion. :-)

Alas, but I must wait until this evening to read it. The DVR backlog can wait...

Super awesome!!! thank you! I downloaded and will read as soon as I finish reading Stephen Blackmoore's City of the Lost :)

Silly person. We're excited already to meet your new little people. What you're doing is stoking the fire with kerosene.

This is very cool, thanks. Who did the artwork? Is that Aly Fell as well?

Yay! and thank you :)

Eeeee! I read this and made a note to grab it later, because I was waiting for my copy of Westward Weird to arrive so I could read that story. As I was glancing at the comments before moving to the next tab, the UPS guy knocked on my door...with, yep, the package containing Westward Weird! :)

Won't have to save this one for long! :)
