Everybody loves a little carnage.

I am pleased to announce that my story, "Red as Snow," will be appearing in the December issue of Fiction River, subtitled Hex in the City. Need more details on Fiction River? Look no further than this link. But, you know. I'm going to give more details anyway, because I'm that kind of girl.

This is a monthly anthology series, each issue focusing on a different theme. December is the month of urban fantasy, but they've covered an amazing range of subjects already, and I'm incredibly excited to see where they're going to go from here.

"Red as Snow" is an Istas-narrated story, which is a first for me. It's also the first story set in the InCryptid universe but not centering on any member of the Price-Healy family. Instead, it's about Istas, and Ryan, and parasols, and pizza. And carnage, of course. You can't have waheela without carnage.

This is a new chapter in the expansion of the greater InCryptid universe, and I couldn't be more excited about it. December 2013! Mark your calendars, and prepare for impact.

Yay!

Yay for more backstories!

You are rather bad for my bank account, but excellent for my brain and my Hugo nominations. I've purchased this year's hardcopy subscription. Now I need to be sure I take notes on new authors and fabulous stories for next Hugo go-round.

Also, my brain is really whacked. My dreams last night included a local version of your InCryptid universe vs. the Secret of NIMH rats. It was epic on a rat-sized scale.

ISTAS! Hail the approaching carnage!

And I was looking through the themes for the upcoming Fiction River volumes and may have just purchased a year's subscription.

I just finished Unnatural Worlds (Fiction River vol 1). It was really good. Thanks for the recommendation!

No mice, but lots of Istas.

Ping me a few weeks before release if you want a review copy.

I am so glad!

I love her too.

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2013-05-15 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I like writing her, but gosh is she hard.

[identity profile] seanan-mcguire.livejournal.com 2013-05-15 04:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes!

And I am planning two more!

Probably no book any time soon, because she's surprisingly difficult to write, but definitely more shorts.
