It is with the utmost delight and no small amount of profound relief that I announce that the next three October Daye adventures have been acquired by DAW Books. That takes us all the way to ten, a benchmark I dreamt of but never thought I'd really reach.

The next three books are:

The Winter Long
A Red-Rose Chain
Once Broken Faith

(For the curious, the titles this time are from "A Winter's Tale," "Venus and Adonis," and "King Henry VI, Part iii.")

I am...I am over the moon. This gets us through some really major story beats that I've been patiently setting up since book one, and moves us very solidly into what I think of as "act two" of the whole series (act one concluded with One Salt Sea). There are two more books to come before I start on this new set, Ashes of Honor and Chimes at Midnight, and having the security of knowing the story will go on is just incredible.

Thank you, DAW, for having faith in me.

And thank you all, for reading.

[livejournal.com profile] kikibug13's icon inadequately describes my reaction to the news about October Daye. Coincidentally, I was discussing Toby's relationship with her fetch with my younger son just a few hours ago (the discussion of the moment was clones who were NOT the same person personality-wise as the original).

HOWEVER, my immediate reaction on seeing the post was "Cheesecake? Where? Where cheesecake?"

Apologies if this is something I should already know, but how long were you writing before your Toby Daye novels were accepted? I mean, did you do short stories and stuff (I mean getting published, here) before DAW accepted the first one and then did the other stuff later, or was it one of those overnight awesome lucky things where they were "Yay, we love this, you're published!" I'm asking because I'm getting serious about my own writing, and I know the second scenario doesn't happen often, but it does happen.

Also, grats!

Over fifteen years of writing constantly without being able to sell a word. I wrote and posted a lot of fanfic, though.

Congrats for more opportunities to tell us stories about Toby. (And for more chances for me to continue to trade cat food money for books.)
