For the last several months, a story titled "Rat-Catcher" has appeared on my inchworm girl lists, always under the "publication date unknown" header. Rumors have flown. Well. Rumors have sort of limped around and then napped under the table, because we're all pretty tired, so it's hard to get too excited over things that I keep promising to discuss later.

Later is here.

I am flat-out ecstatic to announce that "Rat-Catcher" will be appearing in A Fantasy Medley 2, to be published by Subterranean Press on November 30th, 2012. It's one of four stories in the book, joining original pieces by Tanya Huff, Amanda Downum, and Jasper Kent. A Fantasy Medley 2 will be available both as a signed hardcover, and as a trade edition. Both editions are extremely limited. Seriously. Order early.

Learn more about A Fantasy Medley 2, and place your orders here!

"Rat-Catcher" is the first story set in Toby's world but not featuring Toby at all. Instead, it focuses on Tybalt before he was Tybalt, back when he was Rand, a Prince of Cats living in the city of London. Meet his family, see him take the first steps toward becoming the man we know and love today, and see how the world looks through someone else's eyes!

I am so excited. Like, seriously, seriously excited. The cover is gorgeous, the authors involved in the project are top-notch, and I can't wait for you to read this story.

November!

Ooh, we've been looking forward to that story since you first mentioned it. Also, you and Tanya Huff are both on my "must buy" list; time to go order the book.

Awesome.

I'm seriously wondering how fast it'll sell out.

You and Amanda Downum...head may explode from sheer awesome!

Ordered! And hoping against hope an ebook version appears at some point.

Honestly, I don't know if there will be one. The Subterranean Press model is lovely, limited-run, physical books; there is no ebook of A Fantasy Medley, so an ebook of A Fantasy Medley 2 seems unlikely.

I do wish there was a mention on the order page of the date the book was going to be released... I already ordered a copy, but didn't actually realize quite how much lead time we were talking. At least you've covered that here and now I know how long I'll be waiting.

Seriously though, as another commenter said, you had me at 'Tybalt.'

Do you have any idea if they'll be releasing it in ebook format? Unfortunately, $20 is too much for my current budget, especially when international shipping is factored in.

Honestly, I don't know if there will be an ebook release. The Subterranean Press model is lovely, limited-run, physical books; there is no ebook of A Fantasy Medley, so an ebook of A Fantasy Medley 2 seems unlikely.

I would also like to know whether this will be released as an ebook... I ran out of space for hardcopy books several years ago and *really* prefer to buy my books in bytes if at all possible.

EEEEE TYBALT!

Aw damnit, I generally never buy mixed story books... I always know I'm interested in one author but the others are such a crapshoot... I just don't do that...

I'm unfamiliar with the other three series, and as much as I reeeeallly love Tybalt .... $20 is a lot :( Also really hoping for an ebook edition!!

Yay!

Not having $20 extra, I'm wondering if it might ever appear in e-format of some sort?
I also asked the library to buy it.
